March Networks Video Management Platform Interoperable With DDN

March
Networks announced that the company’s Command video management
platform is now interoperable with storage appliances from DataDirect
Networks (DDN).

The integrated solution delivers scalability
and petabytes of video storage – all managed using Command’s
web-based software interface.

Many
applications are using more multi-megapixel cameras at high frame rates, and
requiring more than the typical 30 days of video storage. The combination of
Command’s scalability and the DDN SFA10000 Storage Platform allows customers to expand their surveillance network from hundreds to tens of
thousands of IP cameras and edge devices. DDN storage options scale from 80TB
to multi-petabytes off a single RAID engine, enabling customers to reduce
datacenter footprints, and cut energy and cooling costs by as much as 40
percent.

"The adoption of megapixel cameras in the
market is driving the need for higher scalability and reliability of achieved
video," said Fabrizio Colciago, Chief Technology Officer, March
Networks. "After evaluating a number
of options, we selected DDN for its best-in-class real-time storage solution
for single or multi-site enterprise-class applications. The combination of our
technologies offers the robust capabilities that customers have been seeking
for quite some time."

"We are excited to partner with March
Networks, which has a rich heritage in video networking and is recognized
industry-wide for its strong video management solutions," said Harvey
Kohli, DDN’s Vice President of Business Development for IP Surveillance Business
Unit. "Command’s scalable software
provides customers with a sophisticated, web-based interface that is easy to
use and highly customizable. By combining Command with award-winning DDN
technology, customers now can access video content with speed and certainty,
within an infrastructure that is both extremely scalable and efficient."
