AVEVA is advancing its PI Data Infrastructure by integrating with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), offering industrial organizations a powerful new way to streamline and scale their operational data management. This strategic enhancement, developed through a long-standing partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is designed to help companies lower their IT overhead and speed up their transition to cloud-based systems. The integration allows the PI Asset Framework’s SQL backend to operate on AWS’s fully managed database platform, combining industrial data management with secure, scalable cloud infrastructure.
This hybrid-ready solution is fully scalable, enabling customers to extend data lifecycle management, reduce analytical latency, and increase productivity, all while supporting sustainable business growth. By leveraging Amazon RDS, AVEVA provides a reliable, high-performance database environment that can grow alongside a company’s operational demands.
Rob McGreevey, Chief Product Officer at AVEVA, emphasized the importance of this development, stating, “Our collaboration with AWS represents a major step in delivering flexible, hybrid-ready solutions for industrial data. Running components of the AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure on Amazon RDS gives customers more options for modernizing their operations, cutting IT overhead, and accelerating the time it takes to realize value.” He also highlighted that AVEVA’s software-as-a-service offerings on AWS can reduce deployment times from weeks to minutes and lower hardware and server maintenance expenses by as much as 40%.
Howard Gefen, General Manager for Energy and Utilities at Amazon Web Services, added, “Industrial firms need cloud solutions that do more than just move data, they must transform operations and deliver tangible value. Integrating Amazon RDS with AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure helps energy and utility customers reduce operational costs while gaining enterprise-grade security and seamless scalability as their businesses expand.”
