AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and the USA has announced they have completed the Genetec certification process for the AMG Integration with Security Center and have been officially certified by Genetec.  Purpose of the integration Integrating AMG switches with the Genetec Security Center environment allows Genetec users to gain insights and control over their AMG industrial or commercial-grade switches. Now, the AMG570 and AMG510 series models are visible within the Genetec environment as native entities, offering control and alarm capabilities. The Genetec Security Center is well known as a robust, enterprise-grade solution well-suited for multi-site, security-intensive operations that demand scalability, integration, and unified management. AMG products are a natural choice for these applications. Expertise insights Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, confirms, “Our team has worked closely with the Genetec certification team. We view Genetec as one of the top video management systems (VMS) platforms, and being certified by Genetec will be a major benefit to both companies’ customers. AMG switches can be discovered and added as native Genetec entities, allowing users to manage and monitor their network infrastructure of AMG products to gain insight into their switch state directly from the VMS. Very few switch manufacturers have this certification.”  According to Thibaut Louvet, Genetec Senior Director of Professional Services, “Genetec has completed a thorough evaluation of AMG Systems Ltd’s Network Device Management integration against the provided use cases and concluded that it meets Genetec ’s functionality and quality criteria. Considering this, we confirm that AMG Systems’ Network Device Management integration is now certified by the Development Acceleration Program (DAP) to run with the Genetec Security Center.” User beneficial integration Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “Integrating AMG switches within the Genetec Security Center will allow smart alerting and provide real-time alerts to ensure a proactive response to any network-related issues, control switch ports, Power-over-Ethernet, and contact closure inputs and outputs from within the Genetec software. Users gain insight into the health and status of the network with switch and port statistics, including ARP cache and MAC table monitoring." "Harnessing the Genetec automation rules to trigger contact closures or shutdown ports without the requirement of manual interventions. The Genetec Security Center integration is a major advancement for the acceptance of AMG switches and gives Genetec users another strong reason to use AMG in their applications.” Other products and beliefs AMG believes in advancing transmission technology and that having products in stock and being fully supported by the AMG design team gives AMG customers worldwide a measurable advantage in the competitive marketplace.

AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and the USA introduces the AMG Secure-Net SFP carrier, an SFP-based IP-level device that offers 128-bit encryption for traffic over any IP network. This device operates as an SFP carrier and can host most standard MSA-compliant 100Mb or 1Gb SFP modules. The Secure-Net SFP carrier transparently envelopes a wide variety of SFPs, enabling full reuse of existing equipment and easy deployment across various infrastructure types, including both fibre and copper lines. The SFP carrier The SFP carrier is easy to use with standard MSA-compatible SFP ports on AMG switches The SFP carrier is easy to use with standard MSA-compatible SFP ports on AMG switches, media converters, and third-party devices, including switches, routers, and servers from other manufacturers. This removes the need for external power, saving space and reducing cabling costs. The Secure-Net SFP carrier supports end-to-end static IPsec in transport mode for highly secure 128-bit AES-GCM-ESP encrypted network links in both point-to-point and multipoint deployments. Network security Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, confirms, “AMG is known for our innovative approach to solving our customers’ challenges. Network Security is more important than ever.” “With the AMG Secure-Net SFP Carrier, any device on the network that requires the highest level of security can now be cost-effectively secured using Secure-Net.” Secure-Net SFP carriers Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “These Secure-Net SFP carriers are a cost-effective alternative to larger overall solutions.” “In addition, complete out-of-band management ensures the highest levels of security with no access to the configuration of the Secure-Net device from within the network or from its local host device.” Data transmission equipment AMG Systems offers an extensive line of fibre optic, copper, and wireless Ethernet video “The Secure-Net SFP Carrier is another example of a product designed to provide a definitive solution to a known challenge. The product is available now and can be ordered through all AMG channels,” adds Frank Haight, AMG VP of Marketing.
