Scalability
-
Niagara containers do not provide horizontal scalability. It is a single instance of
Niagara. You can increase the capacity by allocating additional memory or using a faster CPU.
- Containerized
Niagara uses IP-based drivers only.
- Serial drivers and custom drivers such as BACnet MS/TP, CCN, BPort are not supported. The container engine does not permit
applications running in container direct access to serial ports.
No data recovery service
If the container is terminated or the hosting platform has a power loss, there is no support for data recovery. All data will
be lost since the last station backup.
Station only
Containerized
Niagara is not suitable for deploying
Workbench. You need another laptop or PC to interact with the container and run
Workbench.
Outbound internet connectivity required
A container deployment must be able to connect to the Entitlement Server to validate its license.
