Immix Teams Up to Provide UL 827A Compliance
▶ TAMPA, Fla. - Immix, a provider of commercial central station
and remote SOC software for managed video and security
services, has partnered with Techevolution, a technology hosting
solutions and managed IT services provider.
The partnership will allow Immix central station and security
operations center (SOC) customers to monitor and manage sites
and facilities that fall under the UL 827A standard for security
and life-safety applications. Techevolution is the only data center
that does not also provide central station or SOC services that
holds the 827A designation, according to the announcement.
UL 827A permits existing UL-Listed centers hosted by Techevolution
to earn the additional UL 827A listing. This addition
provides the guidance for a UL 827A-Listed central station to
offer alternative methods related to the structure, location and
implementation of their software and/or hardware, including new
options on the hosting placement and the location of their servers,
software, central station receivers and telephone systems.
Under 827A, centers using Immix can choose to adopt a central
station host structure through Techevolution to include hosting
automation systems, telephone systems as well as receivers in
a remote location. A benefit is that a hosting service can relieve
some of the burden from the central station, alleviating the need
for IT staff experts or incurred costs of routine hardware and
software licensing and upgrades. Outsourcing allows the central
station to focus its resources on service delivery to its customers.
