Capacity

Time-series data is usually collected in massive quantities. Historis is designed specifically to meet this intense demand with 64-bit capacity, enabling it to handle ANY size or speed of data collection.

By accepting only time-series information, the system can focus on optimizing its storage, manipulation, and retrieval algorithms specifically for this type of data. Historis does not actually store every date associated with values in the database. This allows it to dynamically insert dates into the positions where dates are not stored, thus reducing the I/O requirements on the server as well as the overall disk space required for loaded data.

The bottom line: Historis users don't have to worry about running out of room and actually saves money on disk space.
