Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) has announced the launch of its LenelS2 OnGuard Cloud technology across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, giving regional customers the ability to remotely manage their buildings’ OnGuard access control systems via the cloud for the very first time.
The LenelS2 OnGuard platform is an advanced, scalable on-premise security management system that integrates access control, video surveillance, and identity management to safeguard organizations of all sizes. Designed to enhance security and operational efficiency, it delivers robust automation, real-time monitoring, and seamless third-party integrations.
With OnGuard Cloud, customers no longer need to manage or maintain OnGuard software and servers at individual sites. Instead, they gain full control of each environment’s configuration remotely from any connected location.
This innovative cloud-based solution addresses the rising demand for connected security capabilities across the built environment and reinforces Honeywell’s strategic alignment with three compelling megatrends, including automation.
“OnGuard Cloud supports the growing need to move critical IT architecture to the cloud, enabling improved control of key systems, more efficient use of data to drive autonomy and improvements in cost and process efficiency,” said Phil Daniell, President Europe, Building Automation, Honeywell. “OnGuard Cloud is a robust, customisable enterprise access control solution that enables existing OnGuard customers to move their systems to the cloud in a flexible way, in-line with their broader IT transformation strategies.”
Key features and benefits of OnGuard Cloud include:
- The replacement of on-premises server hardware with a custom-configured, resilient cloud service powered by Amazon Web Services and cybersecurity best practices.
- Automatic updates and maintenance, reducing the burden on in-house IT staff and additional costs.
- Access to the full range of capabilities available within the OnGuard ecosystem, including LenelS2’s OpenAccess Alliance Program technology partner integrations, allowing customers to take advantage of the OnGuard platform’s wealth of customisable and certified integrations directly within a cloud-based solution.
- All-inclusive licensing for the most sought-after features, including badge printing, visitor management, advanced reporting, and more.
- Services and support as on-premise OnGuard customers transition to OnGuard Cloud.
- Access and ease of migration to newer versions of the OnGuard platform as they become available to the cloud given the use of AWS and common services, providing a seamless experience to new capabilities as they become available.
- OnGuard Cloud can be hosted from multiple cloud locations within the region
LenelS2 is an industry-leading brand by Honeywell that offers the full spectrum of access control solutions, including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-deployed platforms, to suit virtually any commercial or enterprise customer need.
