REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2014) - Oracle (
Summary Securitas Direct, a leading supplier of safety and security solutions in Spain, Europe, and Latin America, has chosen Oracle hardware and software as the backbone for its main connections and processing signals center. With the Oracle Internet of Things (IoT) solution, Securitas Direct will be able to strengthen the quality of service, speed time to market for new products and services, and deliver an improved experience for its business and residential customers. The Oracle solution will allow Securitas Direct to manage as many as 100 million signals per day from different security devices. With Oracle, Securitas Direct migrated its legacy system to a scalable, integrated platform that can handle massive amounts of device data transforming it to immediate business value while providing centralized monitoring services from a hub in Spain to countries including Brazil, Chile, France, Italy, Peru, and Portugal.
New Facts
- Continuing its commitment to deliver the most innovative solutions for alarms and intelligent applications, Securitas Direct introduced the Verisure system, which enables customers to monitor security remotely via mobile applications.
- In order to develop the Verisure system and support future products and services related to the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart-home systems, Securitas Direct needed an integrated monitoring platform that could manage an increasing amount of data and communications originating from installed security equipment devices. With Oracle's technology, the system can handle an exponential increase in recurrent communications between the alarm devices and the central monitoring hub.
- Using Oracle technology and services, Securitas Direct can scale to manage as many as 100 million signals per day from different security devices. With this next-generation platform, corporate centers from seven countries can obtain service through the systems that support the Central Monitoring Station. The new solution currently processes more than 2 million device alarm signals per day.
- By implementing the Oracle solutions, Securitas Direct has been able to reduce system latency of the alarm signal to response timeto mere seconds, while also improving the efficiency of the signals management system.
- Oracle's technology will support Securitas Direct's future business growth. Additionally, it will also help strengthen the quality of service for Securitas Direct's home and business clients.
Technical Description of the Oracle Solution

- Specifically, the technology includes Oracle Database ; Oracle SOA Suite ; Oracle Event Processing ; Oracle WebLogic Server 12 c ; Oracle Coherence 12 c ; Oracle JRockit Real Time ; Java Platform, Enterprise Edition ; Oracle VM for x86; and Oracle Linux.
- Using Oracle Fusion Middleware -- Oracle Event Processing, Oracle Business Activity Monitoring, and Oracle Coherence -- the company has been able to shorten the time to market for applications and services.
