New high-density appliance enables enterprises to scale cloud-managed physical security without forcing cloud-only storage or infrastructure replacement
Genetec Inc. has introduced the Genetec Cloudlink™ 2210, a high-density, cloud-managed appliance designed to help enterprises scale physical security without mandating cloud-only storage or requiring infrastructure replacement.
Built for complex, enterprise-scale deployments, Cloudlink 2210 addresses common challenges associated with large-scale cloud adoption, including cloud storage costs, legacy device support, and maintaining local operations during connectivity disruptions. With a stackable 2U rack-mount form factor, it enables organizations to extend cloud-managed security across mission-critical environments while preserving existing infrastructure.
Consolidated Workloads In A Single Appliance
Like other solutions in the Cloudlink line, the 2210 supports multiple workloads—including video management, access control, and intrusion detection—within a single appliance.
By consolidating these workloads, enterprises can reduce system sprawl, simplify management, and lower operational overhead across high-density deployments.
Unlike proprietary systems that isolate workloads, Cloudlink 2210 is built on an open architecture. It supports a wide range of third-party cameras, access control systems, and intrusion panels, allowing organizations to modernize while securely integrating existing hardware and minimizing migration risks.
“Enterprises don’t want to choose between innovation and operational certainty,” said Christian Chenard Lemire, Product Director, Unified Solutions at Genetec Inc.
“With Cloudlink 2210, we’re redefining what cloud-managed physical security looks like at scale by giving organizations the freedom to modernize on their own terms, control long-term costs, and maintain the resiliency and continuity their most critical environments demand.”
Designed For Scale And Storage Efficiency
Cloudlink 2210 supports hundreds of connected devices per appliance and offers up to 240 TB of local storage per unit.
Its architecture minimizes dependence on cloud storage, helping enterprises manage long-term storage costs while meeting high device density and extended retention policy requirements. This makes it particularly suited for environments where uptime and local retention are operational priorities.
Built-In Resiliency For Continuous Operations
To support strict uptime and retention standards, Cloudlink 2210 incorporates hardware-level resiliency features:
- RAID-protected storage
- Redundant system components
- Dual network interfaces for redundancy and network isolation
Security workloads continue operating locally, independent of cloud connectivity, ensuring business continuity during network disruptions.
Scalable Without Infrastructure Redesign
Organizations can scale deployments by adding additional Cloudlink 2210 units as requirements grow. This modular approach increases device counts and storage capacity without requiring infrastructure redesign.
Centralized cloud management maintains unified visibility and operational control across distributed deployments.
Flexible Deployment Models
Cloudlink 2210 supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments, aligning with operational and regulatory requirements.
By combining high-performance local processing and storage with centralized cloud operations, the appliance enables scalable cloud-managed deployments without sacrificing control, performance, or cybersecurity.
For channel partners, this approach supports larger, high-density projects within a consistent cloud-managed framework. Integrators can streamline installation, accelerate rollout timelines, and scale predictably while accommodating customers with strict retention policies and hybrid requirements.
Availability
The Genetec Cloudlink 2210 will be showcased at ISC West in booth #13062 and is expected to begin global shipments in May 2026 through Genetec’s accredited channel partner network.
