RedCloud, a high tech access control system, was recently awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent Office for its revolutionary technology, enabling the integration and convergence of distributed access control network appliances with identity management and IT security information systems.
Patent no. 8,122,497: “Networked Physical Security Access Control System and Method.”
“This patent recognition reaffirms the groundbreaking vision of our technology platform and further extends RedCloud’s industry-leading convergence capabilities,” said Dave Basil, Chief Executive Officer, RedCloud.
RedCloud’s Convergence Platform and Security Management Software
It is the industry’s first and only web-based physical access control system (PACS) designed to synchronize identities, roles, and policies across peer-to-peer network appliances and door controllers. Unlike legacy, client/server-based physical access control systems, RedCloud’s ground-breaking web-based system eliminates the need to support and maintain separate application and database servers. This enables organizations to secure their facilities, people and assets at anytime, anywhere from any standard web browser.
“The ability to manage identities, set policy and report activity across physical and logical security systems is the future of access control,” said Terry Neely, President, Founder and CTO, RedCloud.” This patent is a watershed moment in the growth of our company, validating many years of hard work, dedication and commitment to reducing industry-wide barriers to convergence and is personally very rewarding.”
RedCloud’s Security Management Software runs on the RedCloud Convergence Platform and is available on all of RedCloud’s web-based, access control network appliances, including RedCloud Express, RedCloud Enterprise and RedCloud Virtual, available through RedCloud’s nationwide network of authorized dealers – like ARK Systems.
