Compare Canary vs. Canary Historian

Protect your business from chargebacks and fraudulent activities by utilizing Canary's digital credit card authorization system. This solution is compliant with PCI Level-1 standards, ensuring that sensitive information is handled securely. According to PCI regulations, it is crucial to avoid transmitting credit card details through insecure channels. Traditional methods of gathering credit card data on paper forms are problematic, as they do not allow for validation of the card's authenticity, increasing the risk of fraud. The issue of chargebacks in the hotel industry is often linked to outdated paper-based practices. These processes require guests to print, manually fill out, and fax forms, which can be cumbersome and frequently leads to errors due to missing or unreadable information, resulting in the need for guests to redo the forms. Instead, you can simplify this process by providing each guest with a personalized link that directs them to a secure online form for entering their credit card details. Once they complete the authorization, your team will receive an email notification, streamlining communication. Additionally, with Canary’s intuitive web dashboard, you can easily monitor and manage authorizations, giving you valuable insights over time and enhancing overall operational efficiency. This modern approach not only minimizes errors but also ensures a smooth experience for both the guests and your staff.

The remarkable aspect of the Canary Historian is its versatility, functioning equally well on-site and across an entire organization. It allows for local data logging while simultaneously transmitting that data to your enterprise historian. Moreover, as your needs expand, the solution adapts seamlessly to accommodate growth. A single Canary Historian is capable of logging over two million tags, and by clustering multiple units, you can manage tens of millions of tags effortlessly. These enterprise historian solutions can be deployed in your own data centers or on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. Additionally, contrary to many other enterprise historian options, Canary Historians do not necessitate large specialized teams for maintenance. Serving as a NoSQL time series database, the Canary Historian implements loss-less compression algorithms, delivering exceptional performance without the need for data interpolation, which is a significant advantage for users. This dual capability ensures that both speed and efficiency are maximized in data handling.
