Historian data migrations

Overview

We have many years experience working with a number of the market leaders in real-time data historians like AspenTech IP21, OSISoft Pi System, Honeywell PHD. We also have experience with Open Source alternatives such as QuestDB, Postgress TimeScaleDB. As well as getting involved in larger project to implement a new data gathering/capture solution we can offer our services to assist in housekeeping activities that involve changing how or where data is stored or how long it is retained.

You may have data stored in conventional relational database systems or bespoke legacy systems and feel that this data would be better suited if it were stored in the same way as your production field data or vice versa. Below are some examples of data housekeeping activities that could offer benefit

• Data recovery from another data repository, historian or legacy system
• Data migration between fileset/history repository
• A data retention policy driven data storage change

Recovering large volumes of data from a real-time historian

Large volumes of data can be recovered and transferred to a new data source in an efficient way. Don’t let the quantity of data involved put you off and convince you that it cannot be done.

Bulk uploading of recovered or data from a new source

Experience of performing these actions are vital in making sure that the activities are performed in the most efficient way and in the correct order.

Condensing multiple data historians into one reducing licensing costs

Multiple sites built using different technologies can be brought together saving costs in licensing, maintenance and ongoing training requirements.
