The Information Server (IS) is a web-based reporting system. The IS provides the user with
the data from the PH database using the Internet Information Service (IIS).
The following image provides an overview of the Process Historian and Information Server
mode of operation:
OS Single Station
Note
The SQL server 2008 R2 was used up to PH 2014 SP2. The SQL server 2014 SP1 is used
from PH 2014 SP2.
