FAIRPORT, N.Y. — Bosch Security Systems and NetApp, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., have formed a partnership to develop storage devices for the IP video surveillance market.
Under terms of the agreement, Bosch will sell and support co-branded NetApp storage devices as part of its video surveillance solutions portfolio.
The market is continuing to mature in its understanding of IP video system architectures, resulting in a substantial up-tick in the adoption of Bosch’s approach for recording video streaming direct to a RAID array or storage area network and eliminating NVRs, says Johan Jubbega, vice president of Global Video Systems and Products, Bosch Security Systems.
“The partnership with NetApp will increase the options we offer our customers by adding proven technology from a leading storage solution provider,” Jubbega says. “These products will appeal to systems integrators and our newest generation of customers IT-savvy end users.”
NetApp products offered by Bosch include the FAS2000 series along with the S550 and S300, providing products with a storage density ranging from 2 to 104 terabytes.
Under terms of the partnership, NetApp will assist Bosch associates with presale support for the co-branded products. NetApp will also deliver training and certification to Bosch technical support groups. As a NetApp authorized provider, Bosch plans to provide customers with post-sale technical support for the storage devices.
