AVEVA has announced an expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help industrial companies manage operational data more efficiently and accelerate their move to the cloud. The partnership involves integrating Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) with AVEVA PI Data Infrastructure, allowing organizations to run the PI Asset Framework’s SQL backend on AWS’s managed database services.
This integration aims to simplify operational data management for industrial organizations by combining AWS’s secure, scalable cloud-managed database capabilities with AVEVA’s expertise in industrial operations data management. According to AVEVA, this will provide reliable and high-performing database infrastructure that can scale as businesses grow.
Rob McGreevey, chief product officer at AVEVA, said: “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 Amazon Web Services, stated: “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.”
The two companies have worked together since 2015, delivering digital transformation solutions globally. Their combined efforts aim to help manufacturers and industrial firms deploy solutions faster, lower IT expenses, access data globally with low latency and high reliability, and promote sustainable business outcomes.
AVEVA is headquartered in Cambridge, UK, operates worldwide, and provides software used by over 90% of leading industrial enterprises.
