Speaker Bio
Gerhard graduated with a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1997. Immediately after graduation, he joined OSIsoft and has stayed with the company ever since, persevering through the transition from OSIsoft to AVEVA. Gerhard started life at OSIsoft working on PI Interfaces and maintaining UniInt. He then dabbled in client tools, such as PI Point Builder, PI Tag Configurator, and PI Tag Search, the last of which is still used by client tools today. He then joined the PI Data Archive team and focused on the PI Backup Subsystem. Shifting gears once again, he moved on to support setup and deployment and created the PI Server integrated kit. He then joined the cloud effort, supporting PI to ADH and developing the ADH Assets service. Recently, he has come back down to earth to support on-premise systems once again, but this time he is helping deploy the PI System in the AWS cloud and Azure cloud via the PI System Deployment Samples (PSDS). These samples are discussed in this talk.
