final de carrera s’ha orientat en el desenvolupament en el sistemes de fitxers amb l’objectiu d’explorar les seves possibilitats en l’entorn de Microsoft, intentant obtenir les especificacions dels sistemes transaccionals en el seu comportament. Es vol analitzar les possibilitats pel desenvolupament del sistema de fit- xers de Windows a baix nivell, els seus requeriments, les seves limitacions i l’entorn necessari. 1.1 Motivació personal Aquest PFC neix de l’interès personal per realitzar un projecte en col·laboració amb el grup de recerca d’Storage Systems del BSC per tal de realitzar el pro- jecte final de carrera en un marc de recerca i investigació. 2 Introducció En els últims quadrimestres de la carrera vaig començar a tenir la inquie- tud de viure una experiència en el camp de la recerca, aleshores vaig tenir la sort de conèixer en Toni Cortés que em va obrir les portes a poder realitzar una col·laboració futura, ja que en aquells moments m’era impossible realit- zar el projecte a plena dedicació tal i com desitjava. Després de la finalització de les assignatures necessàries per completar l’Enginyeria Informàtica vaig esperar el moment adient dins el marc laboral per poder viure l’experiència de la realització d’un projecte d’investigació a plena dedicació. Aquest PFC és la realització d’aquest desig, que degut a la impossibilitat de poder-se realitzar en plenitud en un àmbit de compatibilització amb la feina, em vaig esperar el temps necessari per trobar l’escenari adequat per la seva consecució. Així doncs, una vegada els condicionants personals es van complir, vaig anar a veure en Toni Cortés per tal de trobar un projecte prou engrescador. Després d’avaluar algunes alternatives, vàrem decidir veure quines possi- bilitats de modificació del comportament del sistema de fitxers de Windows existien i com es podien portar a terme. Dins d’aquest escenari en Toni em va proposar

Hyper Historian™ Product Brief Hyper Historian Introduction Companies today are faced with the need to perform better and to be more competitive with fewer resources. For plant-level operations, today’s systems need to connect to different infrastructures for data gathering and users need to analyze and visualize data in real time. Access to plant data is fundamental to staying competitive and efficient. The demand to produce products faster or streamline operations is increasing across the globe. ICONICS’ Hyper Historian™ enterprise-wide plant historian allows you to gain that competitive advantage, by organizing all your real-time information from across the enterprise. Hyper Historian is ICONICS’ high-speed, reliable and robust plant historian. In order to analyze and visualize data in real time, organizations must have access to plant data and reporting. Hyper Historian is designed to log large volumes of data, in excess of 100,000 updates per second, and connects to multiple data sources across the enterprise including OPC UA, OPC DA, OPC XML DA, BACnet, SNMP and many more. ICONICS Hyper Historian also provides full, web-based configuration. Optional redundant configurations are supported using redundant Hyper Historian Collectors and redundant Loggers, and Hyper Historian offers Store and Forward technology as part of its integrated redundancy solution.
