Genetec has unveiled the Genetec Cloudlink 210, a cloud-managed appliance to support multiple security workloads, including video management, access control and intrusion detection.

The design

As the latest addition to the Genetec Cloudlink family, this new device simplifies security infrastructure by consolidating critical functions into a single, scalable appliance.

Designed for hybrid environments, Cloudlink 210 provides a cybersecure bridge between on-premises systems and the cloud, offering organizations a cost-effective and flexible path to modernizing their physical security operations, notes Genetec.

Multi-workload appliance

According to the company, Cloudlink 210 is the first appliance of its kind to manage multiple workloads across video, access control and intrusion detection, enabling organizations to streamline security management and meet business goals with a single device.

This multi-workload approach is also being extended across all other Genetec Cloudlink appliances.

A bridge to the cloud

Designed for hybrid applications in Security Center SaaS, Cloudlink 210 serves as a cybersecure bridge between on-premises infrastructure and cloud-based systems, the company states.

Unlike proprietary solutions, Cloudlink 210 is based on an open architecture, enabling existing camera and access control systems to connect to the cloud without requiring a complete overhaul.

It offers a cost-effective and practical pathway to modernizing physical security operations while ensuring interoperability between on-premises and SaaS environments in hybrid deployments.

“Modernize with confidence”

Christian Morin, Vice President of Product Engineering, Genetec commented: “As organizations transition to modern security infrastructure, outdated or vulnerable devices can create critical cybersecurity gaps.

“Cloudlink 210 acts as both a bridge and a shield, seamlessly connecting legacy systems to the cloud while enforcing robust protection against cyber threats.

Morin continued: “With this appliance, businesses can modernize with confidence, knowing their networks remain secure at every stage of the journey.”
