CloudFormation Template
- Amazon EKS
Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
Version release notes
What's New in Proficy Historian for Cloud 2024 Proficy Historian is a best-in-class historian software solution that collects industrial time series 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. It supports all the components/tools in the on-premises counterpart of Proficy Historian (such as collectors, Excel Addin). And it offers all the advantages of cloud technologies.
Proficy Historian for Cloud offers plenty of new features and enhancements to help you connect your data with other analysis tools, migrate your data from Proficy Historian on-premises, scale up Data Archiver, and many more:
Enhanced REST APIs: The following Rest APIs are now available with Cloud Historian: The Tagslist API, Managing Collector Instances, Managing Collectors, Managing Datastores, and Managing Systems. Support for Proficy Authentication: Starting with Cloud Historian 2024, a common User Authentication and Authorization (Proficy Authentication) service named Proficy Authentication is now provided with Cloud Historian. You can deploy it with other Proficy products such as Operations Hub or Plant Applications, or with the Cloud Historian deployment. Support for Configuration Hub: You can create and manage Historian systems using Configuration Hub. In addition, you can manage collectors, data stores, and tags. Cloud Historian can be configured with both Windows Configuration Hub and the Containerized Configuration Hub. Storage of Future Data Support: Previously, you could store only up to 1200 seconds of future data for Cloud Historian. Now, you can store unlimited future data (that is, up to 19 January, 2038) in Historian. This future data is the predicted data, which has a future timestamp. You can use this data to perform a predictive or forecast analysis (for example, using trend charts), and revise the forecasting algorithms as needed. Remote Collector Management with Configuration Hub (Windows and Containerized): Configuration Hub provides a user-friendly interface to manage collectors running on remote servers. You can also view the status of all the collectors with visual representation. Common Collectors Installer for Windows and Cloud Historian: Common collectors installer with a utility to run for enabling encryption for collectors to connect to Cloud Historian. Ability to visualize and interact with Historian specific REST APIs using Swagger UI: You can now access Historian REST APIs using Swagger UI. This tool enables you to visualize and interact with the APIs resources without having any of the implementation logic in place, establishing a fully interactive documentation experience using Swagger Other Proficy Historian Features: Enumerated Sets, Array Tags, Complete Messages instead of just showing Message ID's, Collector Redundancy, and Backup & Restore.
