Hi ,
I went through the document "connection server installation and operations guide" , but still couldn't get point of this component , my questions are :
Regards,
Sean
Solved! Go to Solution.
The basics of the connection server is that it takes many connections in from agents/devices but then communicates that to Thingworx over a single connection.
If a Thingworx server in general can maintain 50K concurrent connections (depends on sizing and capacity)
Then let's say with fairly small connection servers that can maintain 10K concurrent connections (tiny servers) you can now scale to 50K * 10K connections.
However that doesn't mean the Server can handle all the transactions that are happening, this is just for scaling the number of concurrent connections.
As far as transforming at the connection server, I'm not sure, my guess would be no, because of the function that it serves these connection servers are very small and probably won't have additional support to do transformations.
For question 4, I would double check, but I assume yes.
Hope that helps.
