Allow Buffer to communicate with other buffer

Currently the PI Buffer Subsystem only has the capability to speak directly with the Data Archive. This setup can have a negative impact on your Cyber Security setup as you are not able to leverage the DMZ between the IT/OT networks as it is designed. This request is to allow the PI Buffer Subsystem to communicate with another buffer subsystem to act as a relay to the data archive and would allow all cyber security requirements to be met.

    Thank you for your feedback. While we are declining this functionality request for direct implementation in PI Buffer Subsystem, we encourage you to check out PI Adapters. PI Adapters were designed with use cases similar to the one described here and we hope that they will meet your needs.
