Virtual ViewX Server Requirements

The Virtual ViewX server in Geo SCADA Expert uses a screen virtualization technology to render ViewX content on the web browser. Each new Virtual ViewX user is given a private ViewX instance, logged in to their Geo SCADA Expert user account. Consequently, the web server has to have enough resources to run these Virtual ViewX instances for the number of users for which it is licensed, and it may be necessary to distribute Virtual ViewX users differently to Original WebX.

The following is a guide to the resources needed. This is a guide and not a guarantee of performance.

• We recommend that in addition to operating system memory requirements (approximately 3Gb), that you allocate 200 MB RAM per client, or more for complex Mimic displays.

• We recommend one core per two ViewX clients up to 10 ViewX clients, and one core per three ViewX clients beyond 10 ViewX clients, with a minimum of four cores for a Virtual ViewX server.

• We recommend a minimum network connection for the server of 100 Mbps, with 1 Gbps preferred for Virtual ViewX servers that are hosting over 15 clients.

• An SSD drive for the operating system, program files, and log file locations is recommended.

• A modern (2018+) CPU of 2.5GHz or faster is recommended, and there will be a better user experience with greater CPU speed. A server-side graphics accelerator may increase performance.

Performance of Virtual ViewX may be affected by Mimic complexity, user activity, and the number of displays that are open on the client.

A second session for a user (for example, a second tab or browser started on the same client) will count as a separate Virtual ViewX client for performance purposes, although it is included within the license of a single client.
