Harman has debuted CloudworX Manager, the first application from its cloud-based CloudworX software.
The CloudworX platform is being developed to unify the configuration, deployment and monitoring of Harman audio, video, control and lighting systems.
CloudworX Manager is browser-based, offering system integrators the ability to install, configure and maintain devices, without having to configure those devices individually or locally at the device. Initial supported devices include the AMX Acendo Core meeting space collaboration system and AMX Acendo Book scheduling touch panels. More devices are being scheduled for inclusion in upcoming CloudworX releases.
The tool supports private or single sign-on accounts; sorting, filtering and searching of discovered devices; simultaneous configuration of like or unlike devices; simple connection of local installations using CloudworX Gateway software; device firmware management; and template creation and deployment.
Future CloudworX applications are being developed to offer additional design and management capabilities.
CloudworX is built on Microsoft Azure and security compliance is designed around Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Star Level I, GDPR, and ISO 27001 (Coming Q1 2020).
