ClearSCADA can be installed on 32-bit or 64-bit computers. For more information, see the topics that are listed in the gray footer section at the bottom of this topic. Select the relevant entry to display the topic that you require.
Systems running on server class hardware have to use 64-bit server operating systems such as Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2008 Release 2. Server operating systems are designed for servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small networks. For this reason, they are better suited for larger ClearSCADA systems with more than two clients.
Small stand-alone client-server systems running on desktop class hardware need to use operating systems that are appropriate to the computer hardware being used.
To run WebX, server computers have to use 64-bit operating systems (client computers can use 32- or 64-bit operating systems).
For more information, see Recommended Server Configurations.
ATTENTION: Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 should not be used for servers with more than two clients. This is because the TCP/IP security measures in these operating systems can cause significant delays.
