Next-generation C•CURE 9000 platform unveiled at Security 2008
| Software House, a leading access control brand of ADT Security, used the recent ASIAL Security 2008 Conference to showcase the capabilities of its new open architecture security management platform, the C•CURE 9000. Developed to support industry-leading databases, Microsoft® SQL Server 2005 and Oracle 10g, the C•CURE 9000 features unsurpassed integration capabilities and an intuitive graphical interface, making it one of the most flexible, easy to configure and even easier to use platforms in the industry. Drawing from Microsoft’s powerful .NET platform, the C•CURE 9000 allows for the convergence of an unlimited number of security applications using the same graphical interface, navigation and drivers. Supporting the integration of multiple programming languages, .NET also gives security software developers the capability to choose the most effective programming language for the specific task at hand. As Joshua Simmons, Regional Sales Manager ACVS explains, the C•CURE 9000 will prove popular with many of Australia’s government organisations and leading corporates who have recognised the benefits of open architecture and are increasingly seeking application platforms built with third-party integration in mind. “The C•CURE 9000 is ideal for the growing number of customers wanting a customisable platform that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure while enabling the convergence of physical and logical security measures.” Secure Socket Layers (SSL) provide encrypted communication between the C•CURE client and server, while Microsoft® Windows single sign-on and authentication of historical log content feature an electronic signature on each event. This allows administrators to detect additions, modifications, or deletions of data which is critical in order to maintain compliance with standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and 21-CFR Part 11. follows “The platform’s scalable architecture also supports the enormous growth and transformation many enterprise corporations undergo,” he says. “While a company may have 10 card readers connected to the system now, C•CURE 9000 can easily be expanded to add additional hardware in the future.” The growing complexity of security systems is another driver behind demand for the capabilities that the C•CURE 9000 security management platform offers. “As ADT Security designs increasingly complex systems for customers, its team of software developers are often called upon to develop custom applications. Traditionally, creating these has been a time-consuming process, requiring developers to write lines of code to push or pull data to or from various sources but the C•CURE 9000 is set to change all that,” says Simmons. While software developers and system integrators will benefit from the introduction of the C•CURE 9000, the security operator is also able to take advantage of the platform’s flexibility. Based on the familiar Microsoft® Outlook context-sensitive toolbar and main navigation pane, the C•CURE 9000 graphical interface is extremely intuitive. From drop-down lists to the Windows Explorer tree structure, the C•CURE 9000 administration and monitoring stations are user-friendly, easy to navigate and fully customisable. For extremely effective information management, the C•CURE 9000 supports multiple layouts and monitoring station panes in the same window to enable an operator to focus on system activity, while another window displays live video. “Creating a unique experience that is comfortable for each operator makes all the difference to the speed of smart decision-making when monitoring hundreds of events, fast moving live video and critical alarms,” says Simmons. “The most powerful thing about the C•CURE 9000 monitoring station is that each pane is live and interactive. With appropriate permissions you can manipulate data fields and change views, navigate around maps, launch a video tour and perform quick searches all in real time from the one interface.”
