AVEVA has announced an expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to integrate Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) into its AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure. This move aims to help industrial companies reduce their IT workload and adopt cloud technologies more quickly.
The integration allows industrial organizations to manage operational data by running the PI Asset Framework’s SQL backend on AWS’s managed database services. This approach combines AWS’s secure, scalable cloud infrastructure with AVEVA’s expertise in industrial operations data management, providing a reliable database system that can adapt as business needs change.
Rob McGreevey, chief product officer at AVEVA, stated: “AVEVA’s collaboration with AWS marks a significant step in our commitment to deliver flexible, hybrid-ready solutions for industrial data management. By enabling components of AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure to run on Amazon RDS, we’re giving customers more choice in how they modernise their operations while reducing IT overhead and accelerating time to value.” He added: “AVEVA’s SaaS offerings on AWS will enable deployment times to be reduced from weeks to just minutes and cut maintenance costs for hardware and servers by up to 40%.”
Howard Gefen, general manager for energy and utilities industry at AWS, commented: “Industrial companies benefit from cloud solutions that transform operations and deliver value—not just migrate data. By integrating Amazon RDS with AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure, energy and utilities customers can reduce operational overhead while gaining enterprise-grade security and seamless scalability as their operations grow.”
Since 2015, AVEVA and AWS have worked together on digital transformation solutions for industrial clients worldwide. Their partnership combines software knowledge from AVEVA with the scalable cloud resources of AWS. The result is faster deployment of solutions, lower IT costs, remote access to data with low latency, and high reliability. The two companies aim to support innovation while helping businesses meet objectives related to efficiency and sustainability.
AVEVA is headquartered in Cambridge, UK, operates globally, and serves over 90% of leading industrial enterprises across sectors such as energy, food production, medicine manufacturing, infrastructure development and more. More information about the company can be found at www.aveva.com.
