COPENHAGEN — Milestone Systems announces a new global program for hardware partners in the Milestone community. The System Builder Program enables hardware manufacturers to ship their servers, clients and storage solutions powered by Milestone XProtect software.
With XProtect Essential+ preloaded on the hardware, Milestone Channel Partners and customers will benefit from tested and validated hardware configurations, according to the company.
The open program enables deployment of Milestone VMS with just a few clicks, or rapid upgrade to one of the more advanced editions through a Milestone channel partner.
Milestone says it will support the VMS software while the hardware partners joining the System Builder Program will leverage their existing support structures.
In addition to the XProtect functionality, Milestone customers also get access to a multitude of software add-on options from Milestone Solution Partners and a range of more than 7,000 supported camera models and other hardware devices, according to the company.
The hardware partners in the Milestone System Builder Program who ship products with the Milestone VMS software will be able to design hardware to fit specific surveillance market segments, with the opportunity to tap into the IoT and artificial intelligence market through the solution power of the Milestone community.
“The System Builder Program is all about ease of deployment. Customers can now get the XProtect experience on their hardware of choice in a few clicks. Nobody else is doing this,” says Bjørn Skou Eilertsen, CTO of Milestone Systems. “Customers will also be able to easily enter the world of intelligent video solutions by tapping into the rich spectrum of add-ons from Milestone Solution Partners.”
