The Data Historian That Never Cuts Corners

The Canary Historian is a NoSQL time series database that uses loss-less compression
algorithms to provide you with the best of both worlds, high-speed performance without requiring data interpolation!

Adjust the tag license of any of your Canary Historians to an unlimited tag licensing option for ultimate peace of mind. This simple licensing feature will allow you to gather data from everything without managing licenses or worrying about tag counts.

You can write more than 1.5 million updates per second to the Historian in a continuous 24-hour, seven-days-a-week operation. Best of all, the database is structured, so no matter how many years of data you store or how many tags you collect, you will always maintain that 1.5
million write-per-second performance!

When you deploy Historian, you organise your tags into DataSets. A DataSet is a collection of sensors or tags you choose to group. Since you license the Historian only by tag count, you can create as many DataSets as you need.

Your organisation likely has many devices, PLCs, and systems producing data. You can
capture and store all this process data using Canary’s unlimited Data Collectors.

Your data is valuable, and you can’t afford to lose any of it. Canary knows this and
developed a system that leverages store and forward technology. That means wherever Canary is logging data; it is also caching data.

Canary’s Virtual Views allow you to create asset models of the Canary Historian database without impacting the archived data or affecting your tag licensing.

Every Canary System includes unlimited Axiom and Excel Add-in clients. Axiom is Canary’s data visualisation and analytics tool. Axiom has been designed to be easy to use from the top down, but it doesn’t mean watered down.
