Cloud computing refers to the on-demand delivery of calculating services machines, storehouses, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence — over the Internet (“the cloud”). Organizations using these technologies are suitable to pay as they go, gauge as demanded, and rent to use rather than own. Hardware Virtualization is the abstraction of many hardware functions into software and their functions delivered as services over the Internet from the Cloud.
Traditionally, the parking sector has been hardware with the frequency of big and expensive hardware equipment like PARCS systems, ticket allocating machines, pay-on-bottom machines, cash registers, on-premise desktops, server machines, etc. But, cloud computing and Hardware virtualization are leading to the minimization of the hardware onsite in the garage, therefore significantly reducing operations costs on electricity, paper, etc. Many of these results are being consolidated or excluded fully from the out-road and on-road parking operations, creating a more streamlined experience for parking staff and customers.
Coming generation cloud-computing parking technologies, with minimum hardware and software on-premise, are now being developed to be self-managing, freeing garage operations from expensive hardware conservation and labor costs. With affordable detectors, mobile payment on client phones, and ALPR-based enforcement, all the access control and enforcement hardware like gates and barriers are getting virtualized. In addition, wayfinding signage is giving way to digital signage, guiding the client all the way from the road to their vacant parking spot, reducing carbon emigrations and the time to situate.
ParkEngage is leading the way in developing parking technologies that produce a far lower impact on associations ’ bottom lines, allowing our clients to pay as they use and gauge to meet their specific requirements. This helps to dramatically reduce the costs associated with the equipment that’s frequently formerly outdated shortly after installation while keeping up with the rearmost technology trends to meet client prospects.
