What percentage of your IIOT data needs to be “processed” versus simply “stored” or “read”? When do your applications need that data? Real-time? On demand? How is that data being sent? Protocols?

- 7. 7 •InfluxDB open source OSS (single node) Single node only. Community-based Influx support available using the Influx Community site at InfluxData Community Forums. •InfluxDB Enterprise. If you are looking for a data store for higher volumes and velocity data than what is currently available with other databases, then the following benefits are possible with InfluxDB Enterprise: Higher rate of ingestion of data. THINGWORX AND INFLUXDB Using InfluxDB with ThingWorx You can have more than one data repository for run time data. For example, you can keep relational data in PostgreSQL, while using InfluxDB for high volume stream and value stream data. When you define a stream or value stream, ThingWorx uses the default run time data store provider, but you can configure it to use any defined persistence provider. You can still export data from other data providers and import to InfluxDB. ThingWorx handles the data abstraction. ◦Cloud-friendly architecture (horizontal scale, only with InfluxDB Enterprise). ◦High availability available
- 8. 8 PTC AND INFLUXDATA PARTNERSHIP The only scalable timeseries storage option recommended for ThingWorx customers today. For net new 9x cloud customers, InfluxDB will be available as a part of PTC’s cloud offering on the Azure cloud. For on-premise or customers with their own cloud deployments, InfluxDB should be added to avoid risks at scale.
Editor's Notes
- #3: If you are new to PTC, these are the basic elements of who we are and what we do. PTC is a global software company that helps other companies reinvent the way they design, manufacture, operate, and service things in and for a smart, connected world. In 1986 we revolutionized digital 3D design, and in 1998 were first to market with Internet-based product lifecycle management. Today, our leading industrial innovation platform and field-proven solutions enable you to unlock value at the convergence of the physical and digital worlds. With PTC, manufacturers and an ecosystem of partners and developers can capitalize on the promise of the Internet of Things and augmented reality technology today and drive the future of innovation.
- #4: Chris Product evaluation started in 2018 leading to a strong partnership with the launch of InfluxDB as a supported ThingWorx persistence provider with ThingWorx 8.4 release in Jan 2019.
- #6: Chris https://www.influxdata.com/blog/news-influxdata-unites-time-series-platform-thingworx-improve-simplify-iot-developer-experience/ - Here’s a high level architecture that showcases how the Model Database would work with InfluxDB to provide significant ingestion scale and allow for real-time queries to be performed across large data sets in a non-blocking manner - Using InfluxDB allows for reduced storage costs while optimizing the database engeine. Your able to perform complex, time-boun queries to extract meaning insights from the data
- #7: Mike As you can see here, including InfluxDB on ThingWorx configurations is a key differentiator, allowing customers to achieve the top tier or WPS and HTTP ops.
- #9: Chris What’s happening? In 2018 PTC partnered with InfluxData. This partnership brought together ThingWorx and InfluxDB, which today is the only scalable timeseries storage option recommended for ThingWorx customers. What does this mean? For 9x cloud customers, InfluxDB will already be available as a part of PTC’s cloud offering on the Azure cloud. For on-premise customers or customers with their own cloud deployments, there are a couple options available to on to gain access to InfluxDB as this will not be sold direct by PTC Key Takeaway: - We want to introduce Influx DB to customers early in the process to they have the right architecture to manage future scale I hope this presentation into the details of why we’ve partnered with Influx and how Influx helps thingworx customers to spend less money on hardware and get more out of their IIOT solutions.
