SAN JOSE, California June 9, 2009
Intransa, the leader in simple, green video data management and retention, today introduced Genetec's Omnicast IP surveillance solution as the latest physical security industry leader to be a pre-loaded option on its ground-breaking video surveillance-specific appliances.
Genetec, a pioneer in the physical security and public safety industry and a well-known provider of world-class IP security solutions, supports international market needs for transportation, education, retail, gaming, and government users. The company offers advanced video surveillance, access control and license plate recognition (LPR) solutions to customers around the world.
“Genetec has always been a leader in IP video surveillance,” said Guy Chenard, vice president Global Sales & Business Development for Genetec. “The Intransa VideoAppliance fits in very well with our pioneering strategy, and brings simplicity of installation and operation with advanced capabilities for the benefit of security departments and integrators. The appliance family is a great addition to our sales channels for physical security customers.”
Omnicast is an enterprise-class IP video surveillance solution that provides seamless management of digital video, audio and data, and was previously tested and certified by the Intransa StorAlliance Technology Partner Labs for integration with the company's video data management and retention (VDMR) platforms. Intransa solutions scale modularly from 2 to 1,500 terabytes (TB) of retention capacity for weeks to years of video.
More than 150 applications and products, including Omnicast, plus IP cameras, megapixel cameras, DVRs, NVRs, video management systems, physical security information management systems, life safety, access control, authentication, and biometrics are certified for risk free integration with Intransa VDMR platforms. Genetec is one of the first to certify applications for the new Intransa VideoAppliance family.
“Genetec is a leading vendor we felt an absolute need to bring to our Intransa VideoAppliance solutions,” said Bud Broomhead, CEO of Intransa. “Their customers are passionate about IP video surveillance software, and our application-specific video appliances will simplify installation, integration and operation for customers and integrators, while reducing energy consumption and the cost of typical commodity hardware in a complete, high performance solution.”
Each Intransa VideoAppliance is optimized for video, eliminating the risk of improperly sizing and configuring commodity hardware leading to support challenges, and ensuring maximum performance and availability in the demanding 24x7x365 world of surveillance.
