How Brivo Mercury Solutions Makes Cloud Migration A Breeze

Enterprise organizations everywhere are looking for solutions to modernize their physical security, break down security silos, and embrace a frictionless user experience. This urgent need is why cloud-based security is outpacing and outperforming traditional on-premise systems. Unlike outdated systems that require constant manual updates, costly hardware, and dedicated IT resources, cloud-based security offers continuous up-to-date protection, unified management, and significant cost savings.

Why Cloud-Based Security?

Moving your physical security systems to the cloud offers a range of benefits that give businesses the power to operate more efficiently, securely, and intelligently:

Remote Monitoring & Management

Manage your entire security operation, from video surveillance to access control, all from a single pane of glass anywhere in the world.

Limitless Scalability

From 10 to 10,000+ locations, cloud-based physical security makes it easy to scale as your business grows.

Optimized Resource Allocation

Free up staff from tedious tasks like maintaining on-premise servers, replacing equipment, and managing disparate systems.

Simple Integration & Connectivity

Open platforms allow for deep integration with existing technology stacks and simplify connections to new tools.

Operational Resilience

When you choose a credible cloud-security provider your data is protected against ransomware attacks, natural disasters, or equipment failure with secure cloud backups. Always make sure to ask for certifications up front to ensure that the provider meets your security and compliance needs.

Unified Security

Cloud-native platforms connect easily with other cloud solutions, allowing you to integrate access control, video, incident management solutions, identity management and HR systems and more.

Despite the many benefits, there are some who still are hesitant about cost. However, the transition to a cloud-based environment can actually lead to cost-savings. Brivo Mercury Solutions allow you to bring your existing access control hardware into the cloud, preserving your investments and preparing your security for the future.

Brivo’s Solution: Leverage Your Existing Hardware

One of the biggest concerns with upgrading security is the cost and disruption of replacing existing hardware. Enterprise organizations know their security is outdated, but they may not have the time, budget, or staff resources to completely replace their legacy systems. Brivo Mercury Solutions minimizes the need for a complete rip and replace.

With an estimated 5 million Mercury panels in use today, globally, Brivo enables you to easily convert existing on-premise security solutions to cloud access control. The Brivo Mercury Provisioning Tool is a cloud-hosted service that makes it easy to convert control panels in minutes. Brivo Mercury Solutions meet users where they are by offering physical security solutions that deliver the power of Brivo Security Suite, without locking users into one hardware manufacturer.
