ThingWorx Analytics Deployment
As a part of the ThingWorx IoT technology platform, ThingWorx Analytics provides tools for embedding advanced analytics capabilities into smart, connected solutions. These tools can help analyze and understand the data collected from connected devices. They can analyze what is happening right now and why, what might happen next, and what can be done to change the outcomes.
Components
• ThingWorx Analytics Server - The ThingWorx Analytics Server is an application that provides the analytic capabilities to understand the collected data and offer predictions.
• ThingWorx Analytics Extension - The ThingWorx Analytics Extension contains a zipped archive of software, extension, and documentation files. This ZIP file must be downloaded and extracted before the extension can be imported into ThingWorx Foundation.
Deployment Considerations
ThingWorx Analytics is offered as a standalone server through the ThingWorx Analytics installer that contains all necessary ThingWorx Analytics Server libraries and settings. This offering provides a simple installation process, low maintenance requirements, and is easy to scale by adding CPU and memory as needed. However, this configuration cannot be scaled by adding additional servers.
ThingWorx Analytics can also be deployed in a ThingWorx HA deployment model. For more information, see
