Tiger Data is launching TimescaleDB Enterprise, a commercially licensed, self-managed time-series database built on PostgreSQL for on-premises, edge, and customer-managed cloud environments.
“Organizations running power grids, factories and oil fields generate enormous volumes of time-series data, and it is critical to have IT (enterprise) and OT (operational) data on premises or at the edge for analytics. Sending that data to a third-party cloud service is often a non-starter,” said Mike Freedman, co-founder and chief technology officer of Tiger Data. “TimescaleDB Enterprise gives them production-grade database operations on infrastructure they control. It is PostgreSQL. Their data stays local, and when they are ready, Cloud Sync gives them a fully supported path from the edge to enterprise analytics in Tiger Cloud.”
According to the company, TimescaleDB Enterprise combines the open-source TimescaleDB engine with a commercial operations layer. Other features include:
- High-availability clustering with automatic failover
- Fully incremental backups with point-in-time recovery
- A web-based admin console for provisioning and managing clusters
- Pre-configured Grafana dashboards for monitoring
- Optional Cloud Sync for continuous replication to Tiger Cloud when connectivity is available
The product is built for air-gapped environments. Core database operations, including provisioning, failover, backup, recovery, and monitoring, run without internet connectivity, the company said.
The database engine is PostgreSQL with the open-source TimescaleDB extension. Data is stored in standard PostgreSQL format and accessible via standard SQL. If a customer discontinues the commercial subscription, they retain full access to their data and can continue operating on the open-source stack. There are no proprietary data formats and no migration barriers.
“For years, the only options for these customers were to self-manage an unsupported open-source deployment or pay for a legacy historian with per-tag pricing and proprietary lock-in,” said Ramon Guiu, head of product and sales at Tiger Data. “TimescaleDB Enterprise is a third option: commercially supported, built on open foundations and priced on compute capacity, not data volume. That changes the economics for organizations running dozens of sites.”
Tiger Data is inviting organizations deploying TimescaleDB in on-premises, edge or customer-managed cloud environments to join the early access waitlist at tigerdata.com/timescaledb-enterprise. Product access will open in the coming weeks and early access participants receive direct engineering support and influence over the product roadmap ahead of general availability.
