The advent of cloud technology has facilitated faster, easier physical security deployments. As businesses rationalize their costs, concerns and approach to migrating to the cloud, hybrid-cloud deployments are gaining traction across the physical security industry. Recent research conducted by Genetec shows that 60% of organizations are moving towards a blend of on-premises (on-prem) and cloud-based solutions. Such deployments offer organizations the benefits of the cloud while enabling them to keep some infrastructure on-premises.
A hybrid approach gives organizations freedom and flexibility when implementing solutions. Businesses with numerous locations can consider each site’s unique requirements. For instance, they might run some larger density sites on local infrastructure, monitor global deployments in a fully hosted environment, and set up smaller remote sites with direct-to-cloud devices.
