Cross System, Multi-Site, Multi-Tenant Architecture

Factor #5:  BluSKY Purpose-Built Architecture

Point 1: The architecture is everything. 

• Frankenstein approaches to evolving an architecture to do things that it was not built to do never yield the quality results that derive from a properly-built architecture.

Point 2: The BluSKY software and BluBØX system architectures are designed specifically to support channel sales and scale smoothly from SMB all the way to true enterprise level.

Point 3: BluSKY databases have a hierarchical structure that defines:

• Integrators
• Their Customers
• The Customers’ Systems
• The Facilities that are supported by a System
• The Occupants (Companies or maybe Departments) of each Facility, and
• The People who are affiliated with the Occupants
• Devices, such as Readers, Alarm Points, Cameras are associated with a System or a Facility. 

Point 4: As a result:

Integrators can:

• Define an unlimited number of customers.
• Configure, commission, control, support and manage all their customers from a single interface.
• Connect to every customer site at every moment,
• Monitor the health and status of every system
• Offer managed services to every customer beyond the platform itself

Customers can:

• Own and manage an unlimited number of systems
• Manage all their systems from a single interface ADAWATAB
• Have many separate systems or one large system
• Their systems can be standalone or grouped together in any combination

Additionally:

Systems can:

• Each system can be associated with one or more facilities
• A single system can span many facilities
• A common time clock is used across all systems to ensure all events are properly synchronized

Facilities can:

• Readers, alarms, cameras, floors, etc. are defined at the Facility level to make system administration easier
• Security points can be shared between Systems and/or Facilities.

Occupants can:

• One or more occupants can be defined in each Facility - providing for both single and multi-tenant scenarios
• Security points controlled by one occupant can be “delegated” to other occupants so they can include the delegated points in their access levels.
• Occupants can be given the ability to manage their own peoples’ records, access levels, photo-IDs, and badges, and they can extract their own reports or, alternatively, this can be done centrally for them
• Occupants can have their own separate security system but include delegated points to give access past the portals that are controlled by another system.
