DataHub Aggregation Use Cases & Benefits

Why Aggregate Data?

DataHub is a low latency aggregator that can process 100,000 point changes per second, bringing these benefits

• Protect control networks from multiple clients requesting the same data
• Deliver unified data namespaces where data comes from multiple sources
• Reduce number of connections to a data source, which sometimes reduces license costs on source applications
• Single connection for client applications 
• Ease of data integration with any other DataHub feature
• Automatically included in all DataHub Solution Packs and Licenses
• If you can get the data into DataHub, you can aggregate it

Serve Multiple OPC Clients, Quickly 

If you're using OPC in devices, or even using OPC server software to serve data to clients, it's important to keep control systems doing their job, and HMI/SCADA/MES systems from interfering. 

When you use DataHub aggregation, no matter what kind of data source you are aggregating, the DataHub gets the data to clients quickly, but keeps them from asking from data too quickly. 

OPC A&E and OPC UA A&C Alarm Integration

Delivering a helpful and appropriate view of alarms requires bringing multiple alarm and event or condition sources together into a consolidated view.  When you aggregate into a common view you also reduce network traffic when multiple clients need the data. 

DataHub's secure tunneling, rapid recovery from network interruptions, and real-time data transfers insure the data gets through efficiently, reliably, and resiliently.
