About DataMiner Systems

A DataMiner System (DMS) is a collection of DataMiner Agents interconnected via a TCP/IP network. This is also called a "DataMiner cluster". The purpose of a DMS is to make the system appear as a single entity to the user and to minimize repetitive tasks. In DataMiner Cube, you are able to view information on all individual DMAs you have added to your DMS.

When you set up a new DMS, you need to decide whether you want to use the recommended DataMiner Storage as a Service or host the DataMiner storage nodes yourself. If you choose this second option, you will need to make sure the necessary databases are set up as well.
