June 19, 2009 — Tridium the global leader in software frameworks, automation infrastructure technology, energy management, and device-to-enterprise integration solutions today announced its Niagara Framework has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 150,000 instances worldwide. The Niagara Framework resolves the challenges associated with open systems, integration, and interoperability by integrating diverse systems and devices — regardless of manufacturer, or communication protocol — into a unified platform that is easily managed and controlled over the Internet. Niagara connects real time operational data to the people, devices, and systems that manage business enterprises.

Perhaps no other technology has had as profound an impact on making buildings sustainable and more energy efficient as the Niagara Framework. As a smart energy management solution, Niagara merges multi-vendor systems and real time integration to manage and control energy-consuming systems such as HVAC, lighting, and more while ensuring these systems are optimized for maximum performance and energy efficiency. Niagara is deployed in 45 countries and used in a variety of automation applications including Commercial Buildings, Security, Industrial, Residential, Energy, Telecom, M2M, and Medical.

"Not only is this an exciting milestone for Tridium, it marks a great advancement for our technology platform as a whole," said Marc Petock, Vice President, Global Marketing and Communications of Tridium. "We've been committed to increasing the reach and prevalence of the Niagara Framework, and it is rewarding to see the number of deployments and adoption continue to rise at such a rapid rate." The company will release NiagaraAX 3.5, the latest version of the award winning software platform in the fourth quarter of this year.
