Data Partitioning

“The latest release of AC2000, which includes data partitioning, offers enhancements for multi-site and multi-tenanted customers,” said Richard Fletcher, Product Manager, CEM Systems. “AC2000 Database Partitioning is a powerful feature for scenarios where multiple companies utilize a single security management system. It empowers each company by giving them control over their own private access areas while still allowing them access to common areas within the building or campus.”

Enhancements within AC2000 Security Hub centralized command and control application include map zones, reports, and a seamless video integration interface which enables live video footage for specific configured alarms to be displayed.
