HAYWARD, CA, Mar 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
Dynamic Network Factory, Inc. (DNF), a leading maker of high-performance
network
attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SANs), RAID and iSCSI systems,
today announced the formation of DNF Security, a new business division that
will capitalize on double-digit growth in the IP surveillance market to provide
customers with a complete centralized infrastructure for managing cameras, video
servers, camera management servers, storage, and long distance communication.
Leveraging DNF Security's expertise, traditional surveillance and IT
resellers can quickly deploy complete IP surveillance solutions that are
well-integrated and tested, while also gaining a single source for support and
procurement across the management and storage infrastructure.
DNF Security has already formed a strategic partnership with Milestone
Systems, a
world-leading developer of open platform IP video management software.
According to
Robert Madej, newly appointed product manager for DNF Security, the Milestone
partnership gives the company access to a sizeable network of specialized
Milestone resellers.
"The Milestone management software has over 35,000 installs, and our
alliance
offers channel partners and end-users a certified source for management
servers and storage infrastructure that support deployment of Milestone IP
surveillance solutions," Madej said. "With IP video now defining the future
of electronic surveillance, DNF Security's high-availability technology is
poised to
support the rapidly expanding demand for archiving, data storage and protection
that is now shaping the market."
DNF Security plans to offer soon a new line of end-to-end IP surveillance
solutions
that delivers vastly superior scalability and smaller form factors than
traditional analog alternatives. "DNF has been working with surveillance
customers for a number of years, through DNF Storage and other DNF business
units, and we have used their feedback to develop targeted solutions addressing
the key challenges for digital video surveillance: capacity, availability, and
managing
the heavy load from streaming media," said Madej.
According to Mark S. Wilson, marketing director - Americas, for Milestone
Systems,
DNF's presence in the market will be met with strong customer interest. "The
combination of DNF Security's hardware expertise and Milestone's
industry-leading open platform IP video management software gives users powerful
new choices for their surveillance needs. The alliance supports our ongoing goal
to ensure that the market has access to surveillance solutions that are easy
to manage, reliable in operation and scalable to unlimited devices."
The Milestone open platform design allows customers to integrate with
othersecurity equipment (gates, door alarms, access control) as well as other
systems like payment, point-of-sale (POS) and ATM. Also, because the platform
is network-based, customers can run multiple cameras via the same cable (CAT
5, fiber, wireless or existing cables); cover larger areas more efficiently;
connect via the Internet for remote access; and easily scale capacity and
performance.
