AMAG Technology Adds Intransa Security-Grade IP Storage to its Security Management Solutions
IP Cameras and Open Platform Software Integrated into Scalable IP Storage Solution
SAN JOSE, California — September 17, 2007
Intransa, the global leader of scalable, security-grade IP storage solutions and AMAG Technology, a leading manufacturer of security management systems for commercial and government markets, today announced the two companies have agreed to a sales and marketing collaboration giving AMAG customers access to Intransa IP storage by fully integrating it into AMAG's Symmetry Security Management solutions.
AMAG's Symmetry Security Management Systems (SMS) offer intelligent networked solutions scaled to manage access control and security management challenges from small, remote facilities to multi-national organizations located around the globe. The Symmetry Product Portfolio promotes growth as a system evolves. The open architecture standard ensures interoperability with a wide range of peripherals and information sharing with other systems, and now supports Intransa's scalable IP SANs that can grow from 4 to 1,000 terabytes of RAID-protected storage.
By using Intransa's scalable, security-grade IP storage for video surveillance applications AMAG customers can deploy more cameras than with a traditional storage solution using servers, DVRs or NVRs, while increasing reliability and lowering costs. Intransa IP storage can also be used to run other security or IT applications simultaneously, gaining further value out of the storage system.
“We are extremely excited about being able to offer proven and scalable IP storage to our Symmetry Authorized Resellers,” said Bob Sawyer, President of AMAG. “Symmetry already offers a superior video/access control solution, and with Intransa's IP storage running behind the scenes, increased scalability with lower costs have been added to the equation. It is a truly winning solution for AMAG customers.”
Symmetry SMS provides seamless integration of intrusion, video, access control and other security functions, and provides an exceptional solution for the recording of video-based intrusion and access control events. The adaptable Symmetry Video fits many requirements and can be used with the Symmetry Security Management software package to create a totally integrated solution for all aspects of security management.
“AMAG customers who deploy a solution with Intransa IP storage can concentrate on using the Symmetry video/access control system, yet know that they have a highly expandable and dependable answer to their growing needs to retain video for long periods of time and at higher and higher resolution rates,” said Bud Broomhead, CEO of Intransa. “AMAG's customers gain all the benefits of IP SAN, without having to become IT experts to get it installed and running.”
Specifically designed for projects with video surveillance needs such as the gaming, government, education, retail, hospitality, security, policing, and transportation industries in which AMAG is a leading provider, Intransa IP storage delivers year-round availability, easy management, and plug and play architecture with full RAID protection for maximum protection over inexpensive and proven IP.
Intransa's scalable IP storage solutions are immediately available from AMAG Technology and their Symmetry Authorized Resellers, and other Intransa StorPartner Channel Program member security integrators and value added resellers around the world.
