TrendMiner architecture
High-level TrendMiner Architecture

A TrendMiner installation consists of two major components:
The TrendMiner Server (sometimes referred to as the TrendMiner appliance): includes the main TrendMiner software. This contains all the internals such as the TrendMiner algorithms, runs all calculations, contains the application databases, connectivity layer, etc. It also provides web-based interfaces to the end users and administrators for system configuration.
[Optional] TrendMiner Plant Integrations module (sometimes referred to as the "Connector"): TrendMiner Plant Integrations provides a common API to the various historians and data sources supported by TrendMiner. The platform is installed on a Windows Server provided by the customer. Note that the installation of the Plant Integrations module is not always required.
