Security

Your privacy and the safety of your data has the highest priority for us. Therefore, all hosting and storage is 100% aligned with the restrictive EU data protection laws. Your data is yours. We will not touch it, give it to others or even have a look at it unless you ask us to. No hidden traps or backdoors that others can exploit once you uploaded your files are to VAM2. We do not and will never claim any ownership of your data. Last but not least, all connections are SSL encrypted.

Data Recovery

When a user deletes assets, they are not erased from the storage but only made invisible. In result you can recover every single asset that was deleted. One of the design rules for VAM2 is that all uploaded data remains untouched in the original state and is available for download. You will have access to your assets forever until you pull the plug.

Centralized, secure and affordable

Storage how you want it. Flexible, unlimited and scalable. Host your projects on your own machine or network, in a public cloud or leave it to Mister Spock our Software as a Service platform. VAM2 is permanently updated to the latest encryption technologies and relies on a modern, robust architecture. VAM2 has proofed its performance and reliability in heavy stress tests in the field for many years.

Publish projects

VAM2 offers 3 different ways to deliver your data controlled by an easy and intuitive user-interface. 1. Publish to a web server. Providing all the viewing and sharing capabilities for an unlimited amount of users and it requires no license to view. 2. With restricted internet access, the projects can be published for display on a local device running from the storage device and providing the same interactivity as in the web-version. 3. Export and import function to transfer projects including original functionalities and settings from one server to another. This is common when working in the field on a Notebook and transferring the projects to the central server once the fieldwork is done.

Direct access without license fees

People often ask: Why do I need a license to view a project? - well you don't. Whenever you publish a project from the VAM2 database to an external storage device or a website, you can give access to as many users as you want. These users will not need a license, all they need is a device with a browser and the access details. The users can then search and view assets, take measurements, share links or download data. This means all operations that do not require access to the database application.

Multi language support

VAM2 allows switching between 5 languages for the user interface. In result, international teams can work on the same project at the same time using their preferred user interface language. English - Chinese - Spanish - French - Arabic

VAM2 | Powerful user right management

To make sure everybody can only see and do what they are supposed to, VAM2 is equipped with a user rights management system. It allows defining which user has access to see which projects with specific editing rights. This can be as fine grained as blocking a single object in a specific project for a certain user or for pre-defined user groups.

If your infrastructure is operating Single Sign-on (SSo) and authentication infrastructures like SAML, OAuth and alike the integration of VAM2 as a browser-based application is simple. Once set up, you can manage the user rights from your main infrastructure.

Independent of a stand-alone, client-server or cloud setup, the rights of the 3 different license types remain the same.
