Choose McKenney’s to keep your system operational.This year, Oracle® announced that they are eliminating support for their Java plug-in by the end of 2016, and you could be affected if your building is not running on Niagara 4 (N4) by Tridium®. We are the top choice in automation and controls, and our team will ensure your building automation system (BAS) continues to function properly, allowing you to access critical information so you can keep making informed building management decisions.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWJava, in its simplest form, is a required software for you to view and interface with your BAS. Like all plug-ins, it is a favorite pathway for hackers and is estimated to be responsible for over 90 percent of security breaches. Tridium’s N4 is less reliant on plug-ins and instead utilizes HTML5 to give users maximum control over their BAS while increasing security and ease-of-use.
HOW THIS CAN AFFECT YOUR BASAll Tridium customers and users of the Niagara Framework are impacted—whether your JACE hardware comes from McKenney’s, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Lynxpring, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Distech or other OEM rebrands of the Tridium product.
Once the Java plug-in is no longer supported, you will likely log in and realize that your BAS graphics are no longer viewable. Your system will continue to run in the background, but your user interface will be unavailable and you’ll be “flying blind.”
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOWThe best option is to upgrade to N4 as soon as possible and eliminate the need for the Java plug-in before it’s no longer supported. Many factors, including the age of your system, the revision of system software currently running your BAS and budget constraints, will influence your upgrade.
