CLARiiON to Help Enhance Data Center Security
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Verint® Systems Inc., a leading provider of analytics software-based solutions
for workforce-enterprise optimization and security, today announced that Banco
Azteca has implemented the Nextiva® IP Video Management solution from Verint ®
Video Intelligence Solutions™ to help safeguard its data center operations. 

Headquartered in Mexico City and founded in 2002, Banco Azteca became the first
Mexican-owned consumer credit institution, and today operates more than 1,500
retail branches in Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, Peru, Honduras and El Salvador. 

"From the beginning, Banco Azteca has been an early investor in state-of-the-art
technology and innovative processes to support its financial operations," says
Rogelio Garcia Cabrera, IT manager, Banco Azteca. "Our goal was to find a
technology provider able to deliver the same integrity and service levels as EMC
with whom we have a long-standing relationship. As such, we were pleased to
partner with Verint, who has provided the expertise, high-caliber attention and
technical support we expect, with a proven video management solution able to
meet our requirements, and save resources, time and money." 

The Verint physical security solution enables Banco Azteca to effectively
monitor its data center. With a previous digital video recorder (DVR) system in
place, the organization required a scalable platform that would meet all of its
security objectives. Verint`s next-generation Nextiva video management platform
is integrated with Banco Azteca`s biometric access control system to help
provide bank security and IT personnel with automated notification, along with
sophisticated feature-rich video viewing and transcoding from the international
location to the Mexico City central location. Together, the Verint Nextiva and
EMC CLARiiON physical security solution is helping protect Banco Azteca`s assets
and employees.

Azteca, with innovative and reliable technology solutions to meet their video
surveillance requirements both today and as they grow," adds Elan Moriah,
