JKS Physical Security Week #6 – CCTV-Hikvision 6 MP Smart IP Outdoor Bullet Camera

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems monitor your location with cameras 24/7, all year round. The cameras are installed around buildings provide protection to the company. They record images and audio.

Having a CCTV system provides many benefits, such as:

• Act as a crime deterrent: Cameras can act as a deterrent to potential criminals. Thieves, burglars, and intruders are far less likely to commit a crime when they know they are being recorded.
• Provide a safer working environment: Employees are more likely to adhere to health and safety policies and work far more efficiently while under constant surveillance.
• Provide a strong training tool: Images captured can be used as a training tool for staff.
• Prevent false claims: Fraudulent claims (staged slip-and-fall accidents, workplace injuries caused by employee negligence, etc.) can cause lawsuits that cost companies large amounts of money. Camera footage can provide evidence for the proper authorities to ensure your company in not saddled with extensive costs.
• Reduce retail theft: Shoplifters and thieves generally target businesses that have poor security systems.
• Prevent of crime: Acts of vandalism and theft can be avoided as criminals tend to avoid areas under surveillance.
• Monitor remotely: Camera images can be monitored and recorded from a remote location.
• Provide a feeling of security: Give yourself peace-of-mind knowing your company is protected.
• Advance warning can alert you and notify authorities: CCTV systems with motion detection capabilities can give an advance warning of intruders and notify the proper authorities in the event of a break-in or intrusion.
• Protect employees and clients: Inhabitants of a building are protected from possible robberies and assaults.
• Higher rate of prosecution of offenders: If a crime does occur, CCTV cameras can provide solid evidence to prosecute the offenders.
• Reduced insurance premiums: Commercial insurance companies usually provide discounts to customers with CCTV security installed, saving your company money

JKS Infrastructure Solutions- Battery Back Up Emerson Power Rack PDUs

 Are Your Rack PDUs Keeping You From Optimizing Power Management?

Are You Ensuring a Highly Available, Grid-To-Chip Power Chain?

As your data processing needs increase, you’re experiencing rising power densities and rack temperatures. This increases stress on your Rack PDUs, ultimately threatening the availability of your IT equipment and applications.

You Need Rack PDUs that ensure power availability – PDUs with robust designs that accommodate higher power densities and are resistant to higher temperatures, so they do not compromise basic power distribution. You need rack PDUs that are easily upgradable and serviceable to minimize downtime and carry manufacturer-provided support to ensure your own SLAs

Can You Manage Energy and Capacity the Way You Want To?

Your objective is to improve operational efficiency in the data center, including reducing energy costs. You know that a significant percentage of energy usage in the data center is from IT equipment, and that without greater precision in metering power usage of that equipment, you’ll find it difficult to optimize efficiency and capacity management. In addition, you want power infrastructure equipment that consumes less power.

You Need Intelligent rack PDUs that are highly efficient and that provide precise metering and control of energy usage by IT equipment. They need to give you the data to right-size your power infrastructure and eliminate unnecessary capital expense.

Does Your Power Chain Strengthen Business Resiliency and Agility?

Like most companies, your data center is complex and has many challenges to support new business initiatives. You want to optimize IT systems for manageability so your staff doesn’t waste time initializing equipment or setting up proprietary systems every time they add new equipment. Supporting multiple management platforms is not only expensive but also creates more room for errors.

You need: A simplified approach to change management that should translate to real cost savings and operational advantages. You need a PDU that provides intelligent power metering and distribution – complete with the simplified energy management, modular design and cost savings that ensure your data center – and your business – can operate at peak velocity and resiliency.

JKS Collaboration Week #5 - Expanding Meraki Simplicity into communications

JKS Collaboration Solutions –  Cloud-Managed Communications

Expanding Meraki Simplicityinto communications

JKS is a Premier Cisco Partner.

Meraki Formula

Why has Meraki’s model been so much simpler than anything else available? A cloud-based dashboard that provides IT managers with a “single-pane-of-glass” to manage Meraki devices across the enterprise. But the Meraki dashboard isn’t just an overlay. The true magic of the Meraki formula comes from a seamless blending of hardware, software and cloud technologies. Meraki devices are designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with our cloud, providing users with a single simple dashboard to manage their entire site.

All of this technology is really just a means to an end, and that’s where simplicity comes in. Instead of sending someone to a branch office to configure a network or change a security setting, an IT manager can simply log in to the Meraki dashboard and make the changes remotely. Need to troubleshoot a network remotely? No problem. Need to set up a new branch office? Easy. Trouble with remote security posture? Piece of cake.

Introducing Cloud-Managed Communications

A rapidly growing number of IT teams depend on the Meraki Dashboard to manage their infrastructure. More and more of them have been asking if we could do the same thing to simplify their voice networks. Meraki users can be incredibly persuasive.

The result is the new phone, the Meraki MC. As you’d expect, it’s designed to deliver the same simplicity and ease-of-management Meraki customers have come to expect. Here are four things you need to know about the Meraki phone:

•  Single-Pane-of-Glass: It’s managed from the same “single-pane-of-glass” dashboard as the rest of the Meraki portfolio, including wireless, security, switching and mobile device management.
• Three Elements: The platform is built on a SIP-based architecture and the solution is comprised of the endpoint, cloud license and SIP service from designated service providers.
• Availability: It’s available immediately in the United States, with other countries coming on board over time. (We’re in the process of partnering with service providers around the world to deliver the SIP capabilities that underpin the solution. Once that happens we’ll announce local availability.)
•  Integration: The Cisco Meraki team is working on integrating with Cisco Collaboration solutions like Cisco Spark to enable a complete mobile collaboration solution. Cisco Meraki is also working on integration with other leading IT tools and platforms.

Focus on Users

In this industry, it’s easy to focus on the newest technology, or aggressive competitors, analysts or the media. We believe that a maniacal focus on users is our true north. What do we hear?

•  Simplicity – less is better: Functionality no one can turn-on might as well not exist. Every IT dollar spent on complexity that can’t be leveraged is wasted.
• Do more with less: IT groups have fewer resources and need to do more with less. Specifically, they need fewer systems that do more, less hardware on-site, and just enough complexity to get the job done.
• Technology for the future: Technology teams are investing in cloud systems, modern collaboration and high performing connectivity to make their infrastructure simple. This simplicity frees them to focus on the digitization of their businesses, schools and organizations.

Expanding the Stack

This phone release is so special because these devices are managed exactly the same way and in the same Dashboard as the rest of the Meraki IT stack. This converges networking, security, enterprise mobility management and now voice onto one IT platform.

With that in mind, we’re also adding new wireless access points and Ethernet switches to our product lines. The two new indoor access points will be the highest-end, highest density APs we’ve ever built. They provide higher capacity, connect more devices and support more voice and video streams than ever before…So much, they won’t be able to reach their full potential on a single gigabit link, so we’re also releasing a new Multi-gigabit Ethernet switch and two new 10Gbps fiber switches.

Managing more with fewer systems will free IT groups to focus on what really matters to them instead of another cumbersome management platform.
