Industrial Historian Revolution: Inductive Automation & Tiger Data Forge Strategic Alliance
The industrial historian market is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades as manufacturers face unprecedented data volumes and demand for real-time analytics. Traditional proprietary historian systems are being challenged by open, scalable solutions that bridge the gap between edge operations and cloud analytics.
Detail
In a move that signals a seismic shift in industrial automation infrastructure, Inductive Automation has announced a strategic alliance with Tiger Data, the creators of TimescaleDB. This partnership positions Tiger Data as a Gold Technology Provider in Inductive Automation's Ignition Technology Ecosystem Program, creating a powerful new option for organizations grappling with industrial historian challenges.
The collaboration centers around TimescaleDB Enterprise, a commercially licensed, self-managed time-series database built on PostgreSQL. This solution offers high availability, automated backups, comprehensive monitoring, and an admin console specifically designed for on-premises and edge deployment scenarios that dominate industrial automation environments.
Industrial historians have traditionally been proprietary, expensive, and difficult to scale. The Inductive Automation-Tiger Data alliance addresses these pain points head-on:
TimescaleDB's PostgreSQL foundation provides an open, non-proprietary data storage solution that avoids vendor lock-in
Organizations can deploy TimescaleDB Enterprise at the edge while leveraging Tiger Cloud for centralized analytics
The solution supports deployments scaling from thousands to millions of tags, addressing the explosive growth in industrial IoT data
High availability features ensure continuous operation in mission-critical industrial environments
