Hyper Historian is a high speed, reliable and robust industrial plant historian solution designed for mission critical applications.

ICONICS Hyper Historian provides the high resolution and continuous condition and output monitoring needed to ensure sustained performance of utilities’ most critical assets. Taking full advantage of the latest 64-bit .NET-based computing technologies and numerous performance features, including full utilization of multi-core hardware, Hyper Historian is the first plant historian to be compatible with Microsoft Windows 8, Certified for Microsoft Windows Server 2012, and to integrate with SQL Server 2012. The software also fully leverages OPC-UA communication standards, as well as a wide variety of other protocols for connecting to your users existing infrastructure.

“Due to the highly variable nature of wind power, owner-operators need powerful historians to enable their analysis and understanding of both individual unit and aggregate wind farm performance," said Harry Forbes, Senior Analyst at ARC Advisory Group. "A tool such as Hyper Historian is critical for identifying trends and deviations in unit behavior and diagnosing their root causes.”

Hyper Historian V10.8 offers the following enhancements:

Extensive Redundancy in V10.8 – Supports redundancy at all levels, including the use of remote distributed data collectors, multiple distributed loggers and multiple OPC classic and OPC-UA interfaces.
