Genetec announces Streamvault Edge to simplify migration of security equipment for businesses

Two versions of the Streamvault Edge™ family of cloud-managed appliances

MONTRÉAL — Genetec Inc., a technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, will unveil Streamvault Edge™ at ISC West. The Edge is a new line of connected appliances that reportedly enables an easier transition to a hybrid-cloud infrastructure and marks the beginning of a new edge platform strategy for Genetec.

Ideally suited for multi-site operations such as banking, retail, or businesses with remote or unmanned sites, Streamvault Edge enables organizations to modernize their security infrastructure while leveraging existing legacy sensor infrastructure. The Edge enables the gradual migration of security systems to a hybrid architecture without disrupting operations. The appliance is also reportedly low-maintenance, easy to install edge device that makes the commissioning, deployment, and management of connected remote sites simpler.

At its initial launch, Streamvault Edge will focus on delivering a hybrid cloud architecture for enterprise-grade video surveillance, with more security and IoT devices to be supported in the coming months. “This is just the beginning of a new edge platform strategy, and a more efficient way of delivering our solutions to customers,” said Christian Morin, Vice President Product Engineering and Chief Security Officer at Genetec, Inc. “We are starting with video, but Streamvault Edge will soon evolve to power a broader range of capabilities from access control to advanced operations technologies.”

A connected Linux-based appliance, Streamvault Edge reportedly has little to no impact on IT resources and can be easily installed and configured by non-specialized technicians.
