EMC India Center of Excellence (COE) announced the launch of Surveillance
Lab in Bangalore. EMC has made a multi-year investment to form the industry’s
largest, most advanced test and certification Surveillance Labs. The
Surveillance Lab will help organizations to reduce the deployment risk and
support requirements and also provide a proven, repeatable architecture and a
known performance baseline for production environments.
With the government of
India’s increased emphasis on the development of smart cities, safety has
become a major concern for all the stakeholders. Thus, making the role of
technology extremely crucial, especially surveillance technology. Shielding
people, infrastructure and critical data from deliberate or accidental threats
is serious business—and it’s a business that’s growing at an unprecedented
rate. In the present scenario, video surveillance has become the largest and
fastest-growing component of the physical security industry in India.
Industry
research released by IHS Technology forecasts the sales of video
surveillance equipment to reach $26B in 2018, growing 2X faster than the
overall IT market. The advancement made in technology and the increasing demand
to strengthen the security has led to new requirements for video surveillance.
Leading vendors in sectors like transport, manufacturing, IT, ITeS and
government are quickly transitioning to the digital era, where large pools of
high resolution video and data can be stored safely, retained and used for
intensive analytics whenever required.
The new Surveillance Lab in Bangalore complements EMC’s
dedicated lab in North Carolina, USA that’s been testing with partners for more
than 6 years. To ensure the quality of physical security applications,
which is supported with EMC’s portfolio of products, EMC has partnered with the
leading surveillance vendors. The lab will offer EMC Proven Solutions
documentation for field sales, delivery teams and partners, Reference
Architectures (RAs), white papers, technical notes and sizing guidelines, as
well as technical presentations to the customers. The key features
of the lab includes dedicated engineering team, partner testing &
validation, proof of concept and test to fail philosophy.
“Security is one of the most important components of a smart
city. The development of dedicated surveillance lab testifies our commitment to
physical security. It also underscores our commitment to global surveillance
market as well as the customers in India and across APJ. Our expertise in the
technology and in the security domain offers leading physical security vendors
a forum that will allow video surveillance workload to be more manageable and
enable easy analysis of the available data,” said Sarv Saravanan, Senior Vice
President & General Manager, EMC Centers of Excellence – Asia Pacific
Japan. He further added that “through this lab we aim at creating awareness
about the importance of overall surveillance practice and also our advanced
test/validation capabilities”.
“As India strides towards developing smart cities, the pressure
to develop cutting edge, scalable and proven security solutions is massive.
EMC’s Video Surveillance lab offers the private security vendors a platform
that is open, flexible, cost-effective and is analytics-ready. EMC wants to be
an enabler and strives towards developing purpose-built platforms that leverage
its enterprise storage expertise and business partnerships that are focused on
the growing security space,” said Michael Gallant, Global Practice Lead,
Surveillance & Security, EMC Corporation. He said “working together with
our partners we want to offer customers integrated solutions that are
customized to their needs for simple deployment and the management of large
scale video data that is generated today.”
