The Application and Data Server (ADS) and Extended Application and Data Server (ADX) are optional components of the Metasys® system that manage the collection and presentation of large amounts of trend data, event messages, operator transactions, and system configuration data. The ADX is a larger scale system than the ADS and runs on a server operating system to provide extended historical archiving and reporting capabilities. As Site Director, the ADS/ADX provides secure communication to a network of Network Automation Engines (NAEs), Network Control Engines (NCEs), and Network Integration Engines
(NIEs). The Site Management Portal User Interface (UI) of the ADS/ADX operates in a Web browser to provide flexible system navigation, user graphics, comprehensive alarm management, trend analysis, and summary reporting capabilities. With the Site Management Portal UI, you can efficiently manage occupant comfort and energy usage, quickly respond to critical events, and optimize control strategies. The ADS/ADX includes an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliant database package for secure storage of historical and configuration data.
