Simplify Everyday Tasks and Scale with Niagara Cloud Suite
The people that occupy and own facilities are placing new and challenging demands on the engineered systems that condition their spaces. They want building operations to be optimized for their safety, health, environmental concerns, and bottom line. Moreover, they want the data that proves it. Cloud integration with Niagara Cloud Suite is the next-level strategy enabling consulting engineers and system integrators to unleash the power of operational data to better drive toward performance goals and to inform their next design decisions.
SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS
Increasingly, government, public and private organizations are making sustainability a priority. Building portfolios are an obvious starting place for carbon reduction efforts. How is energy being consumed? Where can energy waste be eliminated? Is there opportunity to incorporate more renewable energy? Answering all these questions and others starts with having the right data – much of it already being aggregated, normalized and presented by Niagara-based building management systems.
CONNECTED AND COMMUNICATING BUILDINGS
Buildings are now equipped with more software, sensors and control systems than ever. Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) and other performance optimization software is helping to automate the big task of finding problems before they cause comfort and energy waste issues. Energy monitoring and reporting software is helping to work with local utilities on demand management. Today, there is even a drive to augment the capabilities and knowledge of human facility managers and building engineers with AI assistants that that analyze and present realtime building data via large language models. But, the more siloed systems that are added, the further operators seem to be from getting full insight from all the investment. How to address the connectivity and data interoperability challenges? No one wants yet another layer of middleware infrastructure. Why not just extend the automation framework you have to continue on your digitalization journey? You can cloud-enable Niagara Framework by adding Niagara Cloud Suite services. You'll not only gain more visibility into your building, you will also be able to set-up two-way communications between your optimization apps and Niagara-powered controls.
CYBERSECURE BUILDINGS
Installing Internet of Things (IoT) and other 'smart' technology has potential to open building operations to cyber attack. Understandably, buiding owners and their IT staff want to de-risk this situation by requiring that any operational Technology (OT) meet today's highest standards of cyber defense. Niagara Cloud Suite requires no additional gateways to the Internet and incorporates robust cyber best-practice features. Governments and military organizations have standardized on Niagara, after rigourously testing its cyber defenses. In this way, Tridium is keeping pace with some of the world's most stringent cyber security guidelines.
Yet industry pressures such as the lack of skilled labor to install, commission and maintain building technologies are creating headwinds for system integrators and facility managers to complete everyday tasks.
RESOURCES
Ability to find and retain personnel with both controls-automation OT and cloud-related IT skills.
CAPACITY
Need greater capacity to serve more customers and complete more projects.
ON-SITE LIMITATIONS
Majority of work, including project changes, require physical access to the site, which is time-consuming and expensive for staff. Secure access to customer sites can also be a roadblock.
Tridium’s Niagara Framework is the platform of choice of automation project teams that are passionate about open integration and enabling smart building outcomes. The recent launch of the Niagara Cloud Suite provides such teams with a new way to install, commission and maintain buildings and simplify everyday tasks. Now, it's possible to meet the expectations of building owners and operators by enabling cloud services – a path that is often best aligned with budget and workforce constraints.
Unlock the full power of the Niagara Framework
Niagara Cloud Suite transforms project delivery and ongoing building management services. It enables teams to break free of on-site limitations. Seamlessly extend your site operations to the cloud to deliver remote access, disaster recovery, and simplified data management. Niagara Cloud Suite empowers your business to create the next era of streamlined, scalable connected services.
Seamless Integration with Niagara Framework
When adopting new processes, how much time and cost do you typically spend on training? How many login’s do you and your teams manage? Is there interoperability between services? Are you addressing the real obstacles to productivity? Niagara Cloud Suite can help you to optimize and save steps in all these respects. Users benefit from secure scalability and a level of workflow flexibility only achievable in cloud environments.
Transitioning your operations to incorporate a cloud strategy has never been easier.

NIAGARA CLOUD MANAGEMENT TOOL
Simplify secure access to Niagara data via the Niagara Cloud Management Portal. Ready access to this data feedback on current operations means your team can resolve any incidents faster.
ENHANCE OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE
Reduce customer downtime and enhance operational resilience across your portfolio, with no additional hardware or physical media required.
Securely Configure, Administer, and Engineer Niagara Systems from Anywhere
It is increasingly hard to attract and retain the talent required to engineer smart building projects. Customer requirements are getting more complex and requiring more time on the part of your skilled resources. At the same time, it can be cost prohibitive to arrange an onsite visit and send a truck every time you need to troubleshoot an issue? These challenges inspired the development of Niagara Remote.
Transform how buildings are controlled and maintained with Niagara Remote. From configuration to maintenance and troubleshooting, Niagara Remote helps you increase productivity. It enables remote engineering and maintenance work and more regular checking of all operations across a Niagara network.

ENTERPRISE SCALABILITY
Enterprise portfolio owners can challenge service providers with their vast campuses and nationwide collection of properties. How can you pull the operational data from all assets in all locations to tell a coherent story about energy or comfort performance? Niagara Cloud Suite makes this possible and it is secure-by-design and adds minimal new OT infrastructure.
RESOURCE FLEXIBILITY
Break free from the bonds of on-site operations to realize greater resourcing flexibility. Send the right talent to address the appropriate issue at the right time.
Faster Issue Resolution and More Responsive to End-Customer Needs
Are resource constraints making it difficult to be responsive to customer service agreements? When resources are dispatched to customer sites to diagnose issues, how many subsequent visits does it take to ensure that you have the right resources and the right tools to address the issue?
Digitally transform your business model to increase your responsiveness to customers with Niagara Remote and Niagara Recover. With anywhere-anytime access, you will be able to view set-points, see trends and take the right actions in a timely way.
