tiple cardholders at a time using global access levels and personnel groups.” Texas Biomed’s time schedules are configured to secure facilities after normal business hours in addition to serving as a foundation for
alarm functions, such as “door forced” or “door held.”
In addition to Texas Biomed’s 24/7 SEOC, the organization also integrates NEC’s ExpressCluster high availability software into their DNA Fusion system for reliable, fault-tolerant security. The integration between DNA Fusion and ExpressCluster provides the facility with a comprehensive application redundancy solution for high availability and remote disaster recovery of their DNA Fusion system in the event
the primary server goes down.
“We rely on the integration between DNA Fusion and ExpressClus-
ter to ensure our security system remains operational, and to provide uninterrupted coverage,” said Hammargren. “When access control sys- tems stop working, the entire operation is at risk, which isn’t some- thing we can let happen.”
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
“Open Options has seamlessly integrated into Texas Biomed’s security program, and continues to provide robust and reliable access control for our facility,” said Hammargren. “We look for-
ward to connecting other security systems, such as
alarms and video, in future master planning and facility design.”
