Thursday, March 27, 2008
Collaboration with Verint Systems Inc. Delivers Open Architecture, Centralized Management and Cost-effective Scalability in a Comprehensive Security Solution
HOPKINTON, Mass., March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMC Corporation
(NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today
announced new professional services for Physical Security Solutions, which
will enable customers to take full advantage of industry-leading information
management capabilities for the physical security markets. EMC is offering
comprehensive assessment and design services, and is partnering with Verint
Systems, a leader in IP Video Security, to implement scalable, flexible and
cost-effective physical security solutions.
An increased focus on security is prompting enterprises and government
agencies around the world to expand their use of video surveillance and other
physical security technologies. The vast amount of data created by these
systems is challenging information managers to effectively capture, analyze
and store security data. EMC Physical Security Solutions integrate physical
security information from a wide range of data sources and help automate the
analysis and management of the information. Customers in retail, financial
services, gaming, transportation, seaports/airports, correctional facilities,
government, education, critical infrastructure, and border control use EMC's
best-practices solutions for real-time access to critical information,
enabling them to proactively protect critical assets.
The new services are:
-- EMC Assessment for Physical Security: EMC and its partners, including
Verint, Unisys, British Telecom, Orion Systems Group, and DMJM
H&N/AECOM, identify customers' technology, business and physical
security requirements, analyze the data, identify challenges and
obstacles, and present recommendations. EMC and its partners also
assess and identify findings regarding items such as cameras, alarms,
video archiving, encoders, video software and network services
-- EMC Design for Physical Security: Allows EMC and its partners to gather
the information collected in the assessment service and provide a
complete design of the customer's physical security environment to
include any connectivity to other systems such as access control
devices, alarms, cameras and sensors
-- EMC Implementation for Physical Security: Incorporates Verint IP video
technologies with the implementation of an EMC CLARiiON-based storage
solution. EMC and its partners will install the solution, including
cameras and other security devices. EMC manages the process and
ensures the solution will be turn key for the customer
EMC and Verint have been working with the Kentucky Exposition Center to
implement these solutions. "As one of the largest exposition facilities in the
United States, we have an enormous security challenge, and needed a solution
that was very flexible, scalable, and easy for our security team to learn and
to use," said Alicia Montgomery Dunlap, Information Systems Manager, Kentucky
State Fair Board. "Despite the challenge of installing the system around our
busy event schedule, the EMC team got everything integrated and running
smoothly in a very limited timeframe. The system is very intuitive to use and
has really increased our ability to provide a safe and secure environment for
our visitors."
With EMC's Physical Security Solution and Verint's Nextiva(TM) IP video
software platform, customers can:
-- Integrate a full range of physical security systems and networked IT
solutions
-- Cost-effectively scale the solution as security requirements evolve
-- Quickly and easily provide authentic, tamper-proof video data for use
in criminal investigations
-- Monitor and manage video surveillance data and analyze security
incidents in real time, from any location, using a secure web browser
-- Leverage enterprise-class EMC storage systems, information and content
management software, and best-practices solutions
-- Manage data growth with powerful policy-based storage management
capabilities from within the Verint Nextiva video management platform
-- Integrate with existing CCTV systems to provide compliant archiving
capabilities when transitioning to IP-based solutions
"Security experts are overwhelmed with large amounts of data and
information to analyze and act on. Enterprises and government agencies around
the world can now harness innovative analytical technologies for leveraging
video to enhance both security and operational performance," said Todd Pavone,
Vice President, EMC Global Solutions. "EMC's expertise in storage, security
and information management is tailor-made for these physical security
solutions. EMC's new services, in conjunction with EMC's and Verint's
technologies, help customers manage everything in one place to make better
decisions and provide comprehensive security across the entire organization-
whether it is infrastructure or its physical assets."
"By partnering with EMC, we are able to combine our open-architecture
Nextiva video management platform and expertise in IP video security solutions
with EMC's storage and infrastructure management systems and outstanding
services capabilities," said Jim Clark, senior vice president and general
manager, Verint Video Intelligence Solutions. "Customers are now reaping the
benefits of our collaboration with highly effective and tightly integrated
security and enterprise solutions."
The new services are available worldwide.
