Augusta Systems, Inc., provider of technologies that power the intelligent convergence of devices, systems and networks, and Intergraph, provider of engineering and geospatial software, have signed a reseller agreement under which Intergraph will sell Augusta Systems' EdgeFrontier middleware to complement Intergraph's integrated security solutions and Smart Grid command and control center for utilities.
ebizQ received the following:
Through the reseller agreement, Intergraph will offer EdgeFrontier's remotely configurable middleware to promote simplified integration for devices and systems to further extend the reach of Intergraph security software platforms.
EdgeFrontier supports integration and normalization of data, events and control functions from diverse devices, systems and networks, regardless of manufacturer or communications protocol. These include sensors, wireless sensor networks, RFID systems, video devices and systems, access control systems, metering and measurement devices, actuators, databases and file repositories and others. In addition, the products provide structures for event processing and configuration of event or policy-based actions through a policy engine.
EdgeFrontier resides on routers, servers and other computing systems, providing a complete middleware platform for building and managing complex monitoring, control and automation solutions.
EdgeFrontier will also provide support for remote, localized event or policy-based processing of data and events to push intelligence beyond the data center throughout the network infrastructure. These capabilities eliminate the need for custom interface development and allow for enhanced information management.
"From security agencies to utilities building Smart Grids, Intergraph's geospatially powered solutions organize vast amounts of data and provide a common operational picture to facilitate better and faster decision-making," said John K. Graham, president, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure. "EdgeFrontier delivers important, new data convergence capabilities and this agreement with Augusta Systems underscores Intergraph's commitment to providing the markets we serve with a common operating picture to advance operational efficiencies and promote swift, confident decision-making."
