International. Genetec announced the launch of Security Center SaaS, its new scalable, open, and unified software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that combines access control, video management, forensic search, intrusion monitoring, automation, and many other advanced security capabilities.
"The electronic security industry has failed to make the cloud or software-as-a-service a suitable solution, especially for 
enterprise customers," said Christian Morin, vice president of product engineering and CSO at Genetec Inc. "With Security Center SaaS, organizations are no longer locked into proprietary solutions or limited software-as-a-service solutions that unnecessarily force them to choose between entirely cloudy solutions. on-premise or in the cloud. Security Center SaaS's advanced capabilities and open architecture are designed to enable systems to manage complex workloads where they are easiest to deploy. This flexibility responds to a need that end users have had for many years and fills an important gap in the market."
Hybrid SaaS solution built for integrators or business partners
To bring this new SaaS solution to market, Genetec highlighted the transformation of its entire approach to procurement, deployment, and maintenance without compromising the advanced enterprise-grade capabilities that its solutions are known for.
"Current approaches to SaaS solutions have weakened the role of integrators, whom we consider critical to the success of our customer projects. Security Center SaaS represents an important opportunity for our system integrators or business partners. This translates into better margins, long-term customer satisfaction, and all, without an additional investment in time or resources from our partners," said Michel Chalouhi, Vice President of Global Sales at Genetec Inc.
With an automated online quoting and purchasing process, systems can be fully operational in a matter of minutes from the moment the order is placed. Genetec's new portal makes it easy to quote, purchase, deploy and manage large facilities so that business partners can continue to grow their business and offer the technology and service options their end users demand.
Cloud Business Experience
With the ability to centralize multi-site monitoring and management, Security Center SaaS is ideal for meeting the needs of customers in a wide range of industries including retail, universities, corporate campuses, banking, hospitals, cities, and more. It can also serve deployments with few devices connected directly to the cloud and scale up to thousands of sites and devices with hybrid storage and compute. Operators can manage operations from a SOC (Security Operations Center) or on the go through robust web and mobile applications.
Evolution to the cloud
Security Center SaaS is a platform that allows different types of deployments and configurations. Based on a hybrid SaaS architecture, the new solution enables organizations to migrate components and sites to the cloud, based on their needs and requirements, through a combination of cloud-native services and cloud-managed appliances, with storage and processing at the edge. Thanks to its open architecture, Security Center SaaS gives organizations the freedom to choose the devices, cameras, and door controllers that best fit their business.
Security Center SaaS can also seamlessly connect with existing on-premises security infrastructure and devices. Access control devices and cameras that aren't ready to connect directly to the cloud can easily connect to Security Center SaaS using Genetec devices at the edge.
Availability
Security Center SaaS will be available globally starting in April 2024 through Genetec's certified partners and will be showcased for the first time at ISC West at booth #13062. Their subscription plans will be based on the number of device connections needed. For more information, please visit: https://www.genetec.com/es/a/lanzamiento-security-center-saas
