Hello Folks,
To begin with this is in reference to an insightful blog by Niki Scaglione - Decentral Adapter Engine is Mandatory!
We have been planning to consider having a distributed model i.e to have our central instance (PI 7.3 dual stack) running along with a decoupled AEX.
We wanted to run some specific interfaces that are critical to the business and also extract high performance from the decentral AEX. In short, decouple the critical interfaces (run on AEX) from all other interfaces (Central).
So this brings me to the below questions;
1. If we use a decentralized AEX, does this mean we will lose out on central monitoring? We definitely dont want to open two URLs to monitor PI.
2. If we have to reap the benefits of performance improvement, do we really need to install the AEX as a separate host? What does that mean overall? Again, we dont want the instances to run independent of each other i.e once again the emphasis is to have a single monitoring access.
Do share your thoughts on how you see this architecture.
