Inim Cloud
Computing infrastructure that offers potentially unlimited resources
The Cloud born of the ever increasing need to manage data from anywhere: at home, at work or on holiday. The Cloud is already an integral part of the lives of everyone. Purchases, bank transfers, reservations, virtually every online transaction now uses cloud capabilities. It is an established reality that is often entrusted with things of considerable value. And the advantages are numerous:
- “Self-service”: users can request services directly without the intervention of data infrastructure managers or service providers.
- “Global access”: services are accessible from multiple devices and from different places at all times.
- “Heterogeneous”: guarantees access via mobile phones, tablets, small desktop computers or large enterprise servers.
- “Elasticity and scalability”: resources can be adapted to suit user needs.
- “Secure”: both intrinsically secure in terms of total data protection, encryption and resistance to cyberattacks, and operability secure in regards to availability, storage redundancy, network providers, electricity and geographic redundancy.
- “Multi-user”: resources are shared, synchronized and available to all users at the same time.

The Inim Cloud is a pioneering service provider both for the innovative features it offers and for its performance at the highest levels of professionalism and efficiency. The Inim Cloud has been especially developed and designed to manage the latest technologies available. All these resources guarantee maximum reliability and a unique user experience.
When tapping into Cloud services it is fundamental to be able to rely on an adequate structure that is capable of offering these services in a professional and efficient way. For this reason, Inim Cloud uses one of the most important European datacenters, with extensive guarantees in terms of bandwidth, computing power and data storage. In addition, the data center, as a result of its advanced technologies allows geographical replication, therefore, even in the event of disasters or natural calamities in a determined geographical area the Inim Cloud can be replicated instantaneously elsewhere.
In order to take advantage of the Inim Cloud services it is necessary to have a SmartLiving and Prime control panel and one of the following communication devices:
- SmartLAN/G
- SmartLAN/SI
- Nexus/G
- Nexus/3G
However, if you desire additional assurance of connectivity, you can combine a SmartLAN board with a Nexus/G module which will function as a backup channel to the Cloud. The communication channel established between the peripheral devices and the Inim Cloud is encrypted with the most modern cryptographic algorithms: highly secure and reliable. The Inim Cloud services are offered to both the end user and the installer, each of whom will benefit greatly from the numerous advantages it offers. The point of registration and access to the Inim Cloud is represented by the web address www.inimcloud.com from which both the user and the installer can register and manage their systems.
The installer
The tasks of the installer are greatly simplified, time is saved and system management is more efficient. It is no longer necessary to worry about having to change (or have someone else change) the network configuration at the installation site. Under normal circumstances, the installer has to perform two major operations on the network structure, which involve reachability and routing: the installer must provide the user with an address to use (in the app or browser) and that he himself can use to reach the system through the SmartLeague software. Now, the only point of access for all installers and users alike, regardless of the location of the control panel is one: www.inimcloud.com. Then, the installer must provide connection redirection by implementing port-forwarding on the router and/or firewall. Inim Cloud technology allows control panels to avoid this problem, as it is the control panels that connect to the same common point: www.inimcloud.com. The SmartLAN boards (G and SI) are already set up for automatic Internet access so it is simply a “plug ‘n play” connection thus making the operations relating to connectivity extremely simple. Moreover, at present the installer has several different ways of remotely accessing the various installations. With Inim Cloud all control panels will be reached in the same way, at the same address: www.inimcloud.com. From the Inim Cloud web interface it is possible to monitor the system status, view faults and schedule interventions through a calendar that functions like a real management system.
The user
Inim Cloud users have full control of their installations (house, shop, holiday home, etc.) and, in order to interact with them, can choose between an intuitive web interface (www.inimcloud.com) and the AlienMobile+ App, thanks to which they can receive very convenient push notications on their smartphones or tablets for real-time updates. Users can manage the intrusion section of their installations: activate scenarios, arm individual partitions or bypass/unbypass zones. Home-automation control is at hand and activating outputs, setting and adjusting the thermostat to the desired temperature are all easily done. All events are immediately available and categorized, users can also take advantage of the handy ‘keyword or date range’ search function and, if required, download the events on their PCs or tablets. Push or email notifications are freely configurable by category, in other words, it is possible to decide just how many and which category of notifications are to be received push, email or both. Users can connect more than one mobile device to their systems thus allowing multi-user system management. The AlienMobile+ App also allows the management of more than one system at a time, so it is possible to centralize home and office management on a smartphone in an efficient and intuitive way.
