Industrial data volumes keep climbing, and many historians are struggling to keep up. What if yours could ingest 10 times more data, query it 10 times faster, and use 10 times less storage, all with full SQL access?

That's how the newly announced Enterprise Historian Module for TimescaleDB performed in a benchmark against Ignition's existing SQL Historian on Postgres. Intrigued? Join Inductive Automation’s Travis Cox and Tiger Data’s Doug Pagnutti to see how Ignition and TimescaleDB work together, from hypertables and continuous aggregates to automatic schema and policy setup.

They'll also introduce TimescaleDB for Ignition, a streamlined edition of TimescaleDB Enterprise with unlimited tags, one transparent price, and an optional High Availability cluster at no extra charge.

🔸Write tag data to relational databases for dashboards, reporting & more
🔸Easily manage huge data workloads from the edge to the cloud
🔸Deploy scalable historian solutions with full SQL access to operational data
🔸Get your Ignition & Tiger Data questions answered by experts

Register now. Even if you can't attend, we'll send you the recording!

Always nice to highlight some very "normal" office activities 👀 like when we filmed the Build-a-Thon teaser.

Kent Melville, Director of Sales Engineering, got Kent-napped repeatedly. Then Chief Technology Architect Kevin McClusky and Chief Technology Evangelist Travis Cox dressed like they're up to no good. Leading the filming on everything was Senior Video Producer I Mathias Abajian and Senior Video Designer I Carlos Barrera. 🎥
