Separate Server for Kepserver

[Sri1]

Hi,

I had come across a project where a seperate server was allocated for Kepserver alone.

My queries:

1)Under what case  or architecture is this setup required.

2) Is it some sort of best practices.

3) And what should be the server configuration (cpu, RAM... etc) required here.

Regards

To answer your questions based on my experience with KepServer:

1. Kepserver is only a Windows program.  Often our customers prefer ThingWorx platform on Linux for various reasons.  Additionally, sometimes there are shop-floor network factors that affect where the kepware server needs to live (for instance, if a customer wants ThingWorx to live in the cloud but we have to access factory machines on-premise).

2.  I haven't seen any best practices regarding Kepserver living on the same server as ThingWorx

3. Kepserver requirements can be found here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/help/-/media/8E5282554C5543248E92BA3B4A73972C.ashx

Hope that helps!
