--- title: "TimescaleDB Enterprise for Physical-World Operational Data" description: "Power industrial, energy, infrastructure, and other physical-world systems with TimescaleDB Enterprise, built for high-volume operational data, local resilience, and site-to-fleet visibility." url: "https://www.tigerdata.com/timescaledb-enterprise" --- # The operational data platform for mission-critical infrastructure High-performance TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL for mission-critical workloads, built to run reliably across sites, fleets, and infrastructure you control. - **90–98% less storage** (vs. vanilla PostgreSQL): Scale further on the same infrastructure - **10–100× FASTER QUERIES** (vs. vanilla PostgreSQL): Analyze more operational history, faster - **Enterprise** (HA + recovery): Built for mission-critical availability [Get TimescaleDB Enterprise](#form) ## Scale further. Operate reliably. Manage the whole system TimescaleDB Enterprise combines the performance of TimescaleDB with the reliability and operational capabilities needed to run mission-critical workloads in production. ### Scale further Handle growing telemetry and retain more operational history without scaling infrastructure at the same rate. - 10-50x more history per storage footprint - 10-100x faster time-series queries - 1M+ records per second ingest **Performance / efficiency** ### Mission-critical reliability Get the production capabilities critical systems need without building the operational stack yourself. - High availability + automated failover - Zero-data-loss backups + recovery - Monitoring, upgrades, enterprise support **Availability / recovery** ### Operate the whole system Run architectures that span deployments, sites, and fleets while controlling what data moves between them. - Scale from one site to an entire fleet - Local resilience + central visibility - Operate clusters like an expert DBA **Fleet / operations** ## A managed database experience, on your infrastructure Run TimescaleDB with high availability, backups, monitoring, and upgrades built into the platform. Focus on your application instead of operating the database stack. ### Data Plane: Enterprise-grade TimescaleDB, built on PostgreSQL - High-volume continuous ingest - Time-series + relational data in one database - Fast queries on compressed columnar data - Instant dashboards with continuous aggregates ### Control Plane: Cloud-grade operations on infrastructure you control - High availability + automated failover - Backup + point-in-time recovery - Monitoring + upgrade management - Secure topology + operational visibility Direct access to the engineers who build TimescaleDB. ## Build applications. Power operations. Use the same TimescaleDB Enterprise platform behind demanding self-managed applications or as the operational data foundation for physical infrastructure. ### Build demanding self-managed applications - Full PostgreSQL + time-series in one database - Scale operational, event, and time-series data without another datastore - Run internal data products and private AI applications close to your data Full PostgreSQL. Purpose-built for operational data at scale. On-premises, AWS, Azure, GCP, Air-gapped ### Power OT and physical infrastructure - Continuously ingest high-volume telemetry - Retain high-resolution history economically - Query historical data quickly with rollups and columnar scans - Connect telemetry with asset and business context A modern historian on an open data platform. ## Built for the industrial platforms you already run TimescaleDB Enterprise is the operational data layer beneath SCADA and automation systems, whether used alongside an existing historian or as the historian itself. ### Ignition Enterprise Historian: Powered by TimescaleDB A modern SCADA + historian architecture, from site operations to fleet-wide data. Backed by Tiger Data and Inductive Automation. - Ignition: Connect, Control, Visualize, Alarm, Operate the site - TimescaleDB: Ingest, Retain, Query, Contextualize, Scale across sites [Integrating with Ignition?

Central where visibility matters. Keep high-resolution operational data where it is generated, then move only the data and aggregates needed at each level. ### Single deployment: SCADA + database at the site Factories, substations, and smaller data centers. Keep operations and history local. ### Site: Block → site hierarchy AI data centers, large BESS sites, and solar. Organize multiple blocks under one site. ### Fleet: Site → enterprise aggregation Fleets of plants, energy sites, or data centers. Share selected data for fleet-wide visibility. ### Enterprise / Cloud: Edge → central platform Remote assets and variable connectivity. Keep operations local and move selected data centrally. ## Three common alternatives. Why teams choose TimescaleDB Enterprise Same PostgreSQL foundation Better fit for operational data. ### vs. SQL Server + PostgreSQL: Built for telemetry not just transactions - Better resource economics, 90-98% less storage - 10-100x faster queries via columnar storage - Continuous aggregates + time partitioning - Purpose-built time-series analytics ### vs. TimescaleDB Open Source: The production platform around the engine - Enterprise HA, failover, zero-data-loss recovery - No-DIY deployment, monitoring + upgrades - Multi-site and OT/IT via Live Sync + Cloud Sync - Certified SCADA connectors + support ### vs. Legacy Historians: An open operational data platform - PostgreSQL + standard SQL - Lower infrastructure cost, unlimited tags - Site-to-fleet architecture - Build apps, analytics + AI on the data ## Keep operations isolated. Put the data to work Replicate selected operational data outside the control network, so applications, analytics, and AI can use it without accessing production OT systems directly. ## Deploy TimescaleDB Enterprise in your environment Bring the proven TimescaleDB data engine together with enterprise-grade operations and reliability, across the infrastructure you control.
