## Edge Device Data Storage

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**: This section is available for Belden Horizon Data Manager version 2.12.0 and later.&#x20;
:::

You have the option of storing edge device data in Clickhouse. You can store raw data or OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) data.&#x20;

- **OMA data**: OMA data has been deprecated from Belden Horizon Data Operations and Belden Horizon Data Manager, but this option is available for backwards compatibility. We recommend selecting *RAW data*.&#x20;
- **RAW data**: We recommend using this option. To visualize data in Grafana, you must select **RAW data**. See [Grafana Dashboards](docId\:Z9Jz9scseaINfpB-4hjZj) and [Visualize Child Device Data Using Grafana](docId\:OZlZFqDM9F-w1gdoIRDws) to learn more.&#x20;
