Genetec announces UK Data Center for Security Center SaaS, hosted on Microsoft Azure

Meets growing demand for data sovereignty, deployment flexibility, and performance

Genetec Inc. (“Genetec”), the global leader in enterprise physical security software, today announced the option for customers to host Security Center SaaS exclusively in the UK.

Genetec is seeing strong momentum from UK and European companies who want to take advantage of full or hybrid cloud architectures for their physical security solutions. For those hosting security data in the UK, compliance with strict local privacy and regulatory requirements is critical.

To meet this demand, Security Center SaaS can now be hosted wholly in a UK data center, ensuring sensitive data stays protected, governed and processed within regional boundaries. This simplifies compliance, strengthens data sovereignty, and gives customers confidence that their security operations meet local laws. With this launch, the UK joins the growing global network of data centres available to Genetec customers, including deployments in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands.

Security Center SaaS is a scalable unified physical security platform that delivers access control, video management, intrusion monitoring, intercom, AI-powered investigations, all built on an open platform that integrates with a broad ecosystem of technology partners. With its hybrid architecture, the platform gives customers greater choice and control. They can blend cloud services with on-premises systems according to what fits best with current and future needs.

“With accelerating demand for cloud and hybrid-cloud-based physical security, we are committed to providing the highest standards of regional compliance, data sovereignty and deployment flexibility,” said Simon Cook, Director New Offerings, Genetec Inc. “We’re proud to offer our UK customers the choice to host their data locally.”
