EMC Corporation deploys IP video surveillance software from Verint at its offices

EMC sought a centrally managed, scalable IP video solution

Verint® Systems Inc. announced that EMC® Corporation is implementing its Nextiva® IP video security solutions. This latest deployment is the result of EMC's continued investment in technology from Verint Video Intelligence Solutions™ as part of an upgrade to the security infrastructure in its corporate headquarters and smaller field offices.

EMC Corporation is a leading global developer and provider of information infrastructure technology and solutions that enable organisations of all sizes to transform the way they compete and create value from their information. In an effort to modernise its major U.S. corporate campuses and field offices, EMC has continued to select Verint technology to support its move to an open, scalable system, including its current deployment of additional Nextiva video management software, IP cameras and video encoders in offices around the world. 

"In looking to replace our legacy DVR system, and as we continue to modernise our video security technology, we sought a centrally managed, scalable IP video solution with the breadth to cover our campuses," says Dan Fitzgerald, Vice President, Global Real Estate and Facilities, EMC Corporation.

Verint's Nextiva, IP cameras and encoders enable EMC's Facilities Team to create a standard and scalable configuration

The Nextiva platform works in tandem with the high-performance EMC CLARiiON® storage to continually record and archive video data for viewing incidents in real-time from virtually anywhere. Verint Nextiva video management software, IP cameras and encoders enable EMC's Facilities Team to create a standard and scalable configuration to serve the needs of five types of EMC facilities: large and small campuses, large and small field offices, and regional Centres of Excellence (COE). Nextiva helps EMC efficiently manage its corporate sites through access to video from any office in world, all from a single, central location.

"With the Nextiva IP video solution, we will be able to immediately view alarm instances and triggers, for example, which enable us to make informed decisions within a matter of seconds," adds Fitzgerald. "Equally important, we will have all of that data centrally stored, allowing easy access to video surveillance to help keep our facilities secure."

With its open, IP-based architecture, the Nextiva IP video portfolio supports a wide range of hardware and software - including a mix of analogue and digital IP cameras, access control and intrusion detection devices, visitor management and identity recognition systems, RFID and biometric technologies, and sophisticated analytics.

"We are pleased to provide global corporate campuses, such as those at EMC Corporation, with innovative and reliable technology to meet their video security requirements both today and as they continue grow," says Elan Moriah, President, Verint Video Intelligence Solutions and Verint Witness Actionable Solutions®. "As a leading provider of networked IP video solutions, Verint is committed to delivering enterprise-class solutions that provide low total cost of ownership, enterprise scalability, and easy interoperability to business, security and IT systems."
