How to take on-prem Commend solutions to the cutting edge of cyber-security with VirtuoSIS

The accelerating progress of online technologies and their amazing benefits come at the price of growing demands on cyber-defence and the trusted protection of networked assets.

Cybercrime is on the rise, and the financial and technical uphill battle against it makes it increasingly difficult to "go it alone" as an operator of your own on-premise-only server equipment. As a result, classic on-premise solutions – once considered the way to go to keep IT assets thoroughly cyber-secured – are already losing their former appeal. Meanwhile, cloud-powered solutions have been moving to the forefront of technology and taken the lead in the race for affordable, highly cyber-secure communication technology.

Fortunately, this development has also sparked the development of an arsenal of powerful cyber-protection tools to go with it. Cloud service big-players like Microsoft (Azure) or Amazon (AWS) are able to provide a level of high-powered, always-on, always up-to-date cyber-defence that would be impossible for the typical on-premise server operator to develop and maintain on their own. 

VirtuoSIS: The key to modernising on-premise Commend server environments

Users of the cloud-native Commend Symphony service platform symphony.commend.com are already reaping the benefits of low-maintenance 'Intercom as a Service', from a superior return on investment to effortless scalability, automatic feature updates and high-level cyber-security.

Now there's great news also for operators of Commend on-prem servers (e.g., GE 800, GE 300).

As a key player in the Symphony 'orchestra', our fully software-based Commend VirtuoSIS communication server offers them all they need to modernise their server base with all the benefits of cutting-edge cyber-security, integrity and confidentiality trust.commend.com. It's the ideal way to transition from classic on-premise Intercom solutions to the future of communication on the Symphony platform, unlocking a new era of seamless connectivity and advanced capabilities:

  • Designed, developed and built from the ground up on the principle of "Privacy and Security by Design"
  • Convenient automatic security and feature updates
  • Full compliance with highest cyber-security standards for critical infrastructures: NIS2 (EU) and NIST (USA)
  • Easy scalability

Smooth transition

Thanks to Commend's hallmark Evergreen Technology approach, bringing on-premise server configurations up to the VirtuoSIS level of performance and cyber-security is affordable and easy, offering a lot of flexibility along the way:

  • Convenient step-by-step transitioning, ensuring fast and simple replacement as needed
  • Seamless cyber-secure support of existing 2-wire devices via VirtuoSIS Link, an easy-to-use device that acts as a gateway to the Symphony world and Cloud Services like Cloud System Management or Ivy Virtual Assistant
  • Support of hybrid configurations to suit individual needs, with existing on-premise servers operated side-by-side with VirtuoSIS

 

This phased approach allows customers to modernise their on-prem system at a manageable cost and with an eye towards future developments. For all operators of on-prem Commend servers, the way to cyber-hardened, future-focussed communication has a name: VirtuoSIS!
