AMAG Technology Changes Product Line to
Symmetry™ Security Management System
Security Beyond Integration
Torrance, CA (September 25, 2006) – AMAG Technology, A G4Tec Company,
today announced that it will rename its AMAG line of security management systems
to Symmetry™ Security Management Systems. Symmetry signifies the company’s evolution
to a market-driving security solution provider. Symmetry encompasses AMAG’s approach
to offer not only best-in-breed solutions, but to provide a complete portfolio of
security solutions beyond the typical integration to its customers.
AMAG has been driving a fundamental shift in its approach to the market that began
with the development of Symmetry™ Video Management and Symmetry™ ENVS® (Edge Network Video Server). Symmetry Video uses “smart” software to stop crime in real-time by
recognizing configured behaviors. The company entered the video market last year
with its Symmetry Video product line, and is now focusing on offering a complete
Symmetry Security Management Solution.
The name Symmetry represents exactly what AMAG has been providing its customers
for years: a totally integrated security management system that includes Identity
Management, Access Control, Intrusion Management and Video Management, all of which
have equal value and are in balance with one another to protect people, property
and assets.
“The Symmetry renaming will allow AMAG to strengthen our overall position in the
marketplace, be better recognized for our product contributions, and establish a
stronger connection with our customers,” said AMAG Technology, Vice President of
Marketing, Kim Loy. “Symmetry is an expression that declares what we do, which is
bringing security beyond integration.”
The Symmetry Security Management System product portfolio includes:
- Symmetry Business software is perfect for commercial facilities with up to 64 readers
in mind. Business Edition brings an integrated solution to the marketplace for facilities
that want to incorporate access and video without tying together disparate systems.
- Symmetry Professional software fits applications that require a more sophisticated
set of features but at a cost-effective price point. Professional can meet all the
system requirements for the majority of mid-sized, multi-location facilities.
- Symmetry Enterprise software is the solution for systems operating across a LAN / WAN with multiple operators administering the system. It supports an unlimited
number of readers and clients making it ideal for larger, multi-site applications
that require centralized monitoring and database administration.
- Symmetry Global is the product to use when large organizations have buildings spread
over a wide geographic area and provides the functionality to unite them. Combined
with Symmetry Professional or Symmetry Enterprise software at the individual locations,
Symmetry Global Edition provides the means to manage databases and monitoring in
either a centralized or de-centralized manner or a combination of both.
- Symmetry Homeland is AMAG’s government specific software designed for supplying
security to Government Agencies that need to meet the requirements of the various
standards and directives, such as; PIV-II, FIPS 201 and HSPD-12.
- Symmetry multiNODE controllers utilize a distributed database detailing valid cardholders
and access rights.
- Symmetry Video is a digital video solution supporting IP cameras, multiple technologies,
and 36 camera views per PC. Its smart software detects behavior differences, which
significantly reduces false alarms. The Symmetry ENVS stores 80 GB and forwards
video activity on demand.
The renaming to Symmetry is part of a global marketing strategy to bring together
all of the Group 4 Technology (G4Tec) products under a single brand. AMAG Technology
strives for perfection in creating technology driven, user friendly products. Symmetry
SMS’ can be custom designed to provide a synergistic solution with any combination
of access control, digital video, identity management, alarm monitoring, intrusion,
and visitor management.
