Requirements

Requirements include hardware, software and licensing.

Platform requirements

The Cloud Backup Service functions on any JACE or Supervisor platform capable of running Niagara 4.3 or later.

License requirements

For a station to connect to Niagara Cloud Services and use the Cloud Backup Service, the following features must be licensed for your platform, as shown.

cloudBackupService
cloudSentienceConnector

Figure 1. Cloud licensing features

NOTE: The cloudSentienceConnector license feature includes a “systemType” attribute with the value: “n4-station”. This specifies the system type that is registered by the connector.

Additional software requirements

A valid Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) is required to use Backup as a Service.
The following modules must be installed on your system:
- cloudBackup (-rt, -ux, -wb)
- cloudConnector (-rt)
- cloudSentienceConnector (-rt -ux)
Internet access for all stations and clients.
NOTE: If your local network uses a proxy server to provide Internet access, work with your on-site IT department to configure the proxy server to allow access to the Niagara Cloud. The Cloud Connector requires that any intermediate proxy server be a fully transparent proxy; named proxy servers, also known as explicit proxy servers, are not supported at this time. The station requires unauthenticated proxy access to the following domains which are part of the Niagara Cloud ecosystem:
- *.scm.azurewebsites.net
- *.azurewebsites.net
- *.cloud.tridium.com
- *.tridium.com
- *.dsentience.net
- *.honeywell.com
- *.force.com
- *.niagara-community.com
- *.trafficmanager.net
- *.azure-devices.net
