32-bit operating system compatibility is provided for legacy server installations only. For new server installations, use computers that are running a suitable 64-bit operating system (see 64-Bit).
Server Hardware
- None
Desktop Hardware
For server installations, desktop class hardware is only suitable for small stand-alone client-server systems that are not intended to provide access to the database from either Virtual ViewX or ClearSCADA Mobile.
You can use desktop class hardware for client computers, such as those that are running either ViewX, Virtual ViewX, Original WebX, or Data Access software.
The following operating systems are supported:
- Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise editions, versions that are supported by Microsoft)
(Geo SCADA Expert is tested against the latest version of Windows 10 at the point of its release) - Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise editions)
- Windows 7 (Professional and Ultimate editions) - Service Pack 1.
ATTENTION: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 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.
If you intend to provide access to the database from ClearSCADA Mobile, install the server software on server class computers with 64-bit operating systems.
To run Virtual ViewX, the Virtual ViewX server and Geo SCADA Expert server computers have to run on server class hardware with 64-bit operating systems. Virtual ViewX client computers can use a 32- or 64-bit operating system. The Virtual ViewX client computers also require an HTML-5 compatible web browser (see Web Browser Support).
(To run only the Original WebX client, the server machines should use a 64-bit operating system (32-bit operating system compatibility is provided for legacy server installations only). Original WebX client computers can use a 32- or 64-bit operating system. The Original WebX client computers also require the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 11. Other browsers are not supported.)
