MANAGE AND MONITOR TENS TO THOUSANDS OF SERVERS FROM ONE USER INTERFACE
FOR PHYSICAL SECURITY
WITH PIVOT3 MANAGAMENT APPLICATION
WITH PIVOT3 AND NON-PIVOT3 SERVERS
Organizations can find themselves overwhelmed by managing and monitoring all the various servers and appliances in use for video recording, video analytics, access control, intrusion detection and other physical security applications. This is especially true in environments with multiple distributed locations, but also in large, centralized environments. The time it takes to gather all the right information to ensure all the servers and appliances are healthy, performing optimally, and up to date takes you away from other more critical tasks, yet a problem with just one of those servers can put your organization at risk. Pivot3 Surety unifies the management and monitoring of both Pivot3 servers and appliances along with non-Pivot3 servers and provides visibility and management of key information through a single-pane-of-glass management console, saving you time and ensuring your security applications are running at their peak performance and efficiency.
Surety enables you to monitor the health of server node hardware, including disks, power supplies, NICs and whether the server is offline or disconnected. The health of the operating system is also monitored with notification of warnings and critical events.
Surety reports on utilization of CPU and memory, as well as storage performance. This information is vital to the performance of applications such as video management software and video analytics, especially if real-time reporting is required
Manage, monitor, and inventory 10’s to 1000’s of servers and appliances at remote and/or centralized locations from a single management console. Surety, running on each server and appliance, gathers health, resource utilization, event, alarm, and configuration information and feeds it into the Pivot3 Management Application, which acts as mission control for your physical security infrastructure. You now have all relevant information at your fingertips.
All information passed between Surety running on servers and appliances is encrypted as it’s sent to the Pivot3 Management Application. Communications between Surety and the Pivot3 Management Application can be done across completely private networks for use within dark sites.
Surety is included with Essentials by Pivot3 video recording servers and workstations, Pivot3 analytics appliances, and Pivot3 Virtual SOC appliances. Surety is also available to run on non-Pivot3 servers enabling management and monitoring of those servers from the Pivot3 Management Application, thus simplifying your overall security infrastructure.
