Timeseries data and SQL Server

Timeseries data and SQL Server

A question about zenon historical archiving performance using SQL Server.
We expect to cyclically record approximately 200 values every 10 sec and up to 2000 values every minute. Can the zenon SQL Server handle this? With other SCADA systems we use a timeseries database, as PI or iHistorian, to store these values, but is this needed? If not, we might as well save the license.
What do other customers do?
We have no experience on zenon archiving performance; can anyone give me an idea or examples of how many tags the zenon SQL Server can handle?
Any feedback appreciated, thanks.
