Whenever possible, OSIsoft recommends the use of the PI Buffer Subsystem over BufServ. While BufServ supports continuous collection of data on an interface node regardless of the status of the destination PI Server, the PI Buffer Subsystem is primarily designed to enhance the High Availability (HA) features of the PI Server and provides several advantages over BufServ. A summary of differences between the two is available in KB00042. A more detailed comparison is available in the PI Buffer Subsystem User Guide.
