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. This second option is not recommended. If you choose to use this option, you will need to set up the necessary data storage nodes yourself.
