Seagate Selects Genetec Security Center to Secure Global Campuses and Regional Offices
Handling of petabytes of high-resolution video, door, and sensor data to provide scalable solution for large scale facilities
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 19, 2021 at 2:02 pmGenetec Inc. announced that Seagate Technology Holdings plc has deployed its Security Center to secure their global campuses and regional offices.
At the heart of this large-scale global deployment is the Genetec unified security platform which includes Security Center, Omnicast IP video management system (VMS) to manage more than 1,150 cameras, Synergis IP access control system (ACS) to manage more than 22,000 card holders, Sipelia to manage communications between intercoms and security operation, and Seagate’s own performance Exos X 5U84 mass capacity storage system. All sites are connected using the Security Center Federation feature to centralize monitoring, reporting, and alarm management across the entire organization.
The solution enables Seagate to pull in up to 1.3PB of high-definition video in a single disk enclosure from hundreds of cameras and other IoT devices without losing a single frame or data packet.
“Video, and especially multi-source, high-definition video, provides a stringent performance test for any storage solution,” said Ken Claffey, SVP and GM, enterprise storage systems, Seagate. “Likewise, the data availability expectation of a robust, unified security platform like Genetec Security Center is formidable. The sheer volume of high-definition video streams, frames and metadata coupled with increasingly long retention periods, represent one of the most challenging IT infrastructures to deploy.“
This enterprise-scale deployment provides a clear blueprint for a unified, high-performance physical security environment for modern, large-scale facilities.
“Enterprises with global campuses and data center environments have mission-critical requirements, and securing a growing number of assets across huge facilities, while staying ahead of emerging threats is increasingly challenging,” said Christian Morin, VP, product groups, Genetec. “Through our partnership with Seagate, this enterprise-scale deployment provides a great example of how enterprises can implement a holistic approach to security, that encompasses physical and cybersecurity while ensuring compliance with fast-changing regulatory mandates.“
