About Proficy Historian for Cloud

Proficy Historian is a best-in-class historian software solution that collects industrial timeseries data. It is secure, fast, and highly efficient.

Proficy Historian for Cloud allows you to deploy the Historian server and its components on cloud destinations. Specifically, Proficy Historian for AWS allows you to deploy the Historian server on AWS.

You can deploy Proficy Historian for AWS on your own virtual private cloud (VPC), or you can let us create one for you. You can also use the Historian license if you have one or opt for a consumption-based model (in which the bill is generated based on your data consumption).

It supports all the clients in the on-premises counterpart of Proficy Historian (such as collectors, Excel Addin). You can install them on-premises or on an EC2 instance (either on the same or a different VPC), and then connect to Data Archiver deployed on AWS.

Advantages of using Proficy Historian for AWS:
  • AWS Marketplace: In addition to Proficy Historian for AWS, the Web Admin console and the scheduled export feature are available in the AWS marketplace.
  • Load balancing: With the use of Amazon Network Load Balancer (NLB), load balancing is achieved.
  • Integration with CloudWatch and CloudTrail: Using CloudWatch, you can access logs, which help in troubleshooting issues. Using CloudTrail, you can access events, and thus view the data consumption while reading or writing data samples.
  • File Storage in Amazon Elastic File System (EFS): Files are stored in EFS, thus achieving scalability and security. You can access the archives and log files created by Historian.
  • Secure and highly available: Proficy Historian for AWS is deployed on a virtual private cloud (VPC). It uses private subnets and TLS encryption, thus making it secure.

    In addition, Proficy Historian for AWS is deployed on multiple availability zones. If Data Archiver goes down, a new one is created in less than 10 seconds, thus making it highly available.
