Unified Security Command and Control Operating System (C2OS)

The ONE C2OS is a patented open architecture, flexible framework security command and control operating system that is a generation beyond current integrated solutions. It overcomes the limitations of current industry offerings by providing:

    • Unprecedented Flexibility to Customize and Scale the Solution

    • True Unification of Attached Resources

    • A Single Environment, A Complete Solution

    • The Fastest, Most Cost Efficient Development of New Capabilities

    • Capacity to Meet Security Needs Well into the Future
rule

True Unification of Attached Resources
 
The benefits of Unification over Integration are many. True Unification allows complete collaborative and actionable views of the entire security picture for the fastest situational analysis and response. It allows automated response and management by exception for a solution that requires a fraction of the staff normally needed to monitor security. And true Unification allows the system to accommodate leap step technology advances that would require completely new version releases and potentially complete rewrites to address in other solutions. The ONE C2OS allows the fastest, most cost efficient development of assets needed to unify the full spectrum of data and commands from any attached resource.
Fastest Development of New Capabilities
 
The ONE C2OS use of modular add-ons to implement functionality allows development of new capabilities through discrete modules. This flexible framework architecture greatly diminishes the impact of new development on the rest of the system, reducing time and cost of development, testing and implementation. This also allows any newly developed module to be made available to every other ONE C2OS client. What takes months or years and tremendous cost to develop in other solutions in the industry takes days or weeks to develop for the ONE C2OS and can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost.

 Unprecedented Flexibility
 
The ONE C2OS facilitates nearly every aspect of security and facility management through modular add-ons which rest on top of a flexible framework architecture. The ONE C2OS allows modular addition of Graphic User Interfaces, functionality, logic, data, and data driven device drivers. The result of this architecture is unprecedented flexibility, scalability and agility both to customize the solution set at install, for the individual user, or for additions in the future. No other solution on the market today is as flexible or agile.

 Capacity to Meet Security Needs Well into the Future
 
If a command and control solution can not meet your needs five years from now, it doesn’t make sense to implement it. The ONE C2OS is designed to allow rapid custom development of discrete add-on modules to accommodate literally anything required. It was designed specifically to allow MDI or the client to evolve the solution to any need, even ones we could not predict. Modular functionality makes this possible. The core framework architecture need not change to realize incremental growth of functionality. It is the only C2 solution that provides this kind of growth potential.

Complete Unified Solution



The ONE C2OS uses modular add-ons for nearly every aspect of its functionality. These modules are licensed as functional solution sets. This eliminates the need for separate executables to manage each area of the security solution. Where traditional command and control solutions require purchase of multiple software packages with separate executables for complete management of your security resources, the ONE C2OS enterprise solution set provides an all-inclusive environment with everything required to manage, control and administer security and more.

  • Multi-Server, Centralized, Distributed Monitor and Control

Return On Investment


Reduced Cost of Installation
  • Unified Technology dramatically reduces the cost to attach new resources to the system and eliminates the surprises inherent in other C2 solutions when supposedly integrated devices require integration at install.
  • Single environment solution allows the installation staff to focus on a single technology without managing the potential conflicts between the various separate executables.


Reduced Cost of Maintenance

  • A Single Unified Command and Control Environment minimizes training required to monitor and maintain the solution
  • Single solution greatly reduces time required to troubleshoot errors and reduces potential for errors or conflicts


Reduced Cost of Operation

  • Unified collaborative and actionable access to the full range of data and functionality of attached resources allows management by exception, automation and the fastest possible situational analysis and response. The security staff is able to focus on only those events that require their immediate intervention, significantly reducing staff requirements to monitor security while improving response times to critical events. With ONE C2OS response to security events can happen in seconds rather than minutes. The efficiency of the system allows centralized monitoring of geographically disparate locations with a small staff. There are current clients that monitor more than 40 facilities across the US from a central location with a staff of less than 5.


Reduced Cost to Upgrade

  • Unified and complete environment reduces potential software conflicts and testing required for upgrades. With separate solution executables from other vendors potential conflict between legacy and new version releases must be considered.
  • The framework architecture in ONE C2OS separates the core solution from the individual functional elements at the code level. Addition of new functionality to the system may be made without customization or modification to the core. The result is a solution that may be freely added to or customized without potential conflict in upgrading to a new release.
  • Modular add-on architecture allows any new or custom functionality developed to be available to all ONE C2OS clients, significantly reducing the cost of new development and accelerating the availability of new capabilities for all ONE C2OS solutions.
  • New development of custom functionality is accomplished through modular architecture, greatly reducing impact on the rest of the ONE C2OS. The result is dramatically reduced cost to develop, test and implement.


Reduced Cost of Expansion

  • The ONE C2OS was built to scale. Any ONE C2OS solution may expand to multiple or even global facility security management, distributed, centralized or both without hardware replacement or software conversion costs. Add servers and licenses to fit the smallest to largest solution requirements.
  • The ONE C2OS does not force dependence on proprietary control hardware. If your current command and control solution uses Mercury control hardware you can migrate to the ONE C2OS without incurring hardware replacement cost.
