 Data Storage:

The acquired data can be stored on the database on board and external flash memory (Micro SD Cards). This data can be used later for historical trends or serve as input to analytics.

The data storage in DGBox is handled by an Embedded Time Series Database which is specifically designed and optimized for lightning fast read and write speeds of time series data. This specialized database allows for the ability to write over a thousand points per second and be able to retrieve thousands of points in nano-seconds. The amount of data stored on the DGBox is expandable through the external SD card or eSATA port so you can be sure that you will never run out of space for storing your trend data.

Visualization:  

DGBox offers the best in class visualization dashboards using the award winning graphic tool DGLux. The users can choose from the available library of templates or create custom templates depending on specific requirements. Pre-built templates for devices like power meters, thermostats, and other field equipment help accelerate solution deployment. All templates can run on any desktop or mobile platform.
