Tridium Niagara Framework

Tridium Niagara Framework is software infrastructure connecting devices and operational data with people and systems managing workflows in buildings, data centers, industrial processes, and smart cities. Built-in tools cover control logic, data management, user presentation, histories, schedules, and alarms, including HVAC, lighting, environmental monitoring, and access integration. Niagara Supervisor provides browser access to alarms, logs, graphics, schedules, and configuration data. It includes multiple open-protocol IP drivers; other drivers may be purchased separately. Security features include hashed passwords, TLS communications, certificate-based authentication, and a Security Dashboard. Niagara Cloud Suite adds remote access, station-data recovery, and API access to semantically enriched data stored with Microsoft Azure. It requires a supported framework version and an active Software Maintenance Agreement. Initial Supervisor licensing also requires an SMA, which is needed for the latest Niagara version. Tridium reports more than one million instances across hundreds of thousands of projects. Pricing is on request.
