A Complete Overview of Operational History
A Complete Overview of Operational History
Conventional relational databases are often not ideally suited to production environments. Historian, however, handles time-series data, as well as alarm and event data, while unique “block technology” captures plant data hundreds of times faster than a standard database system. It also utilises only a fraction of conventional storage space.
Data Storage Optimisation
