As part of its investigation into VSMs and Hypervisors, Protection Sécurité Magazine highlights various obstacles slowing the adoption of traditional platforms: fragmented security systems, lack of video surveillance expertise, and difficulties in centralizing data. Local authorities and public organizations struggle to fully leverage their tools. In this context, Suadeo’s Hypervisor emerges as a concrete alternative for building a unified territorial command center, already tested and validated by the Ministry of the Interior. PSM reports on it.
This post includes excerpts from the article “VSM, Software, Hyper or Supervisor: Slow to get off the ground”, published in Protection Sécurité Magazine (September–October 2025 issue).
In its September feature “VSM, Software, Hyper or Supervisor: slow to get off the ground,” Protection Sécurité Magazine draws a clear conclusion: despite technological progress, “the systems in use are far from exploiting all available features.”
Local authorities and public organizations are still struggling to connect video surveillance, access control, IoT, AI, and line-of-business systems due to a lack of truly interoperable solutions and insufficient expertise.
This technological and operational lag directly impacts command centers, which remain too often dependent on application silos and limited tools.
Limits of the VMS Market: partial interoperability and underutilization
Investigations conducted by the magazine raise a major concern: while modern systems are theoretically interoperable, the more systems are connected, the more compatibility and cybersecurity become critical.
The journalist also notes a lack of skills among many providers, systems that are sometimes “poorly designed, not very open, close to obsolescence,” limited integration between video surveillance, access control, and AI analytics, and difficulties for local authorities to maintain sufficient technical expertise.
The needs are therefore clear: more open, smarter, and easier-to-use platforms.
Suadeo: a Sovereign Hypervisor designed to overcome these limitations
Capable of unifying any private or public data source, video surveillance, IoT sensors, transport, energy, field reports, prefecture data, citizen inputs, Suadeo’s hypervisor acts as “a digital control tower serving the territories.”
Suadeo’s approach reflects a major market evolution: moving from a simple VMS to a territorial decision platform capable of federating all data, in an environment compliant with the highest security standards (including Restricted Distribution).
A sovereign and Open Platform
Unlike traditional VMS solutions, Suadeo is interoperable and agnostic by design. Deployed on Kubernetes and natively equipped with several hundred APIs, it integrates seamlessly with:
- multi-brand video surveillance systems
- IoT and urban sensors
- line-of-business systems (mobility, sanitation, energy…)
- event processing chains…
Self-Data Analytics: the Core Engine enabling data democratization
Where the market suffers from a shortage of technical expertise, Suadeo empowers users to manipulate and exploit data without advanced technical skills.
While technical profiles benefit from full data management capabilities, business users can easily:
- create dashboards or business applications without coding
- orchestrate data autonomously
- contextualize events
- manage governance and security in real time
A unique advantage that reduces dependency on integrators and supports upskilling.
A truly Decision-Oriented, sovereign Hypervision Platform
Smart alerts, cross-analytics, automated scenarios, prediction and modeling, real-time regulation… Suadeo transforms a supervision center into a fully operational command center.
Available on-premise, on private clouds, or public cloud providers, Suadeo’s engine is designed to operate in any environment. It is already deployed on the Cloud PI within the French Government Interministerial Network, for the Ministry of the Interior. This deployment required months of auditing to verify compliance with classified data standards (Restricted Distribution: II 901, IGI 1300).
Proven during the Paris 2024 Olympics, the 2023 Rugby World Cup, and official state visits, the hypervisor natively meets the highest security requirements.
Immediate benefits for Local Authorities and Public operators
By unifying territorial data flows, Suadeo enables:
- crisis management orchestration
- traffic and mobility regulation
- optimized waste collection
- incident anticipation or detection
- energy and environmental supervision
- alert notifications to citizens or territorial partners
- real-time coordination of field intervention forces
With this solution, backed by 21 years of R&D, Suadeo ushers in the era of sovereign territorial governance. Its hypervisor breaks down silos and enhances collaboration among all stakeholders involved in events, whether internal or external to the community.
