Agreement places primary focus on situational awareness across
critical infrastructure
OSIsoft,
LLC, a global leader enabling operational intelligence, today
announced that a major U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) Agency has
mandated installation of OSIsoft’s PI System software as the information
technology-operational technology (IT-OT) infrastructure for situational
awareness at several major national facilities.
“We see this as a game changer for OSIsoft and the IC,” said Martin
Otterson, senior vice president of sales, marketing and industry at
OSIsoft. “As the government continues to optimize critical
infrastructure monitoring, there is a need to implement a software
foundation that can deliver intelligence on all aspects of facility
operations in real-time. We are pleased that OSIsoft has been picked as
a proven leader with our PI System software to deliver the intelligence
they need.”
The PI System will aggregate historical and real-time sensor-based data
from across numerous building, energy and IT systems to provide
predictive analytics, improved reliability and better provisioning as
part of a common operating picture for the IC’s critical facilities and
data centers worldwide.
“The PI System is recognized as the secure standard in operations
monitoring for critical facilities. Deployed in over 17,000 sites
monitoring 1.5 billion streams of data, the PI System delivers a
holistic cybersecurity solution and true convergent monitoring,” said
Steven Sarnecki, vice president of federal and public sector at OSIsoft.
“The PI System is the recognized standard used in critical facilities
and command centers. From nuclear power stations to the national
electrical grid, the PI System is the trusted system to connect and
centralize large volumes of distributed data for historical
investigation, real-time decision making and predictive analytics,”
Sarnecki said. “This project’s reference architecture will be a
benchmark for sensor data acquisition and data center operations across
the public sector.”
The PI System is used around the globe to manage, monitor, and maintain
critical infrastructure, including over 1000 leading utilities, 95
percent of the top oil and gas companies, and top chemical and
pharmaceutical companies, as well government agencies at the municipal,
state and federal level.
The installation of the PI System is targeted to begin in March 2016.
