Enterprise & Enterprise Plus
The Unity Access Enterprise & Enterprise Plus appliances are ideal for medium to large systems. Businesses with complex or geographically distributed systems may require multiple appliances to manage access and ensure safety and security in and around their facilities. Unity Access facilitates this by automatically synchronizing the access data between appliances. And with the hot standby auto-failover feature, businesses can ensure their data across all sites is always safe.
Professional
The Unity Access Professional appliances are suited for small-sized systems with up to 32 readers. They are ideal for businesses looking to start with a small desktop machine and expand as their needs change. The small appliance size allows for an easy, convenient installation into compact spaces with limited power consumption while offering powerful access control features.
Virtual
The Unity Access Virtual appliances are designed for organizations that have migrated their IT infrastructure to a secure, private cloud environment. They are Partner Ready for VMware vSPHERE (vMotion® exempt) and support Microsoft Hyper‑V for deployment on a virtual server. This eliminates the need to maintain a separate, stand-alone server or dedicated network appliance – providing a scalable design while reducing capital and operating expenditures. These appliances enable the customization of all the configurations, allowing businesses to easily add more resources to the virtual appliance as their access control systems grow and their needs change.
