Install and configure more than one PI System Connector instance per server

At local industrial sites, we deploy use cases different in nature and end user consumption in separated AF DBs, like OEE, PSM, Autoclave, utilities, etc. We need to centralize these individually into our central PI System. We need to segregate the use cases in different AF DBs to maintain a complex security landscape for worldwide whitelisting.

At the time of centralizing these in our central PI System, currently we need to provide one VM per use case since we need to eventually write those in different AF DBs at the destination thus, the need also for dedicated PI Connector Relays.

For the Pharmaceutical industry, it is even more painful since we need identical environments for PROD, QUAL and DEV, so the number of VMs explode uncontrollably, based on the number of use cases. This limitation prevents us from deploying effectively a comprehensive data/asset centralizing approach.
