Scalable DVR Storage Program Solves Reliability, Retention and
Resolution for Video Surveillance Customers
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Intransa, the global leader of scalable, network-centric IP
storage solutions, announced today an agreement with Surveillance
Specialties, Ltd (SURV). Under the terms of the agreement, SURV will
integrate and distribute the Intransa EdgeBlock scalable video storage
system as an upgrade to extend the life of today's digital video
recorders (DVRs) and provide customers with improved reliability,
retention and resolution.
Available immediately, the Intransa EdgeBlock will be incorporated
by SURV into its existing solutions portfolio. The physical security
and video surveillance market is very sensitive to extraordinary costs
and the Intransa and SURV agreement is focused on the delivery of
solutions that provide low total cost of ownership while facilitating
the transition to tomorrow's technological advances, including network
cameras and scalable IP storage.
"Intransa's EdgeBlock video storage is a viable solution for the
thousands of DVRs that are currently deployed and are suffering from
limited storage capacity and high internal disk failure rates as they
age," said Justin Davis, chief operating officer, SURV. "With
EdgeBlock, organizations are able to extend the life of their
currently installed DVRs, transition into IP-based technology, achieve
greater video retention and improve image resolution, all without
having to discard existing recording technology. The Intransa
EdgeBlock allows organizations to significantly improve upon their
security infrastructure, while maximizing their initial DVR
investment."
SURV Scalable DVR Storage Upgrades, based on the Intransa
EdgeBlock video storage system, is an upgrade option for many
qualified DVRs. The upgrades dramatically improve overall video
storage reliability while providing the expansion needed to cover new
retention requirements for weeks, months or years of high resolution,
high frame rate recording. The upgrades can also facilitate the
simultaneous transition into high resolution network surveillance
cameras.
The combination of Intransa video storage solutions and SURV
expertise in integrated security solutions ensures that customers with
existing DVR installations can transition to new technology gracefully
while meeting the video surveillance and security needs that are
required in a wide range of customer environments including: gaming,
government, education, manufacturing, quality assurance, retail,
hospitality, transportation, physical security, law enforcement and
transportation industries.
"Intransa has taken the lead in the scalable video storage market
with cost-effective solutions that support existing video surveillance
infrastructure," said Jeff Whitney, vice president of marketing for
Intransa. "The agreement with SURV underscores our continued
commitment to the video surveillance market and forges a creative
solution to a very large problem faced by thousands of companies and
organizations needing improved technology to meet growing challenges,
but cannot completely cast off existing operations and start anew.
With the SURV Scalable DVR Storage Upgrade program, customers aren't
faced with making that kind of transition anymore to get the job
done."
