Quantum partners with Tiger Surveillance on long-term video surveillance retention

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Quantum Corporation has announced its partnership with Tiger Surveillance, video surveillance data management and protection solutions provider, to deliver end-to-end solutions for long-term retention and archiving of video surveillance data.

Thanks to the partnership, Quantum’s Smart NVR, VS-HCI and USP solutions are now certified with Surveillance Bridge software by Tiger Surveillance to easily tier and archive data to public and private storage clouds. Quantum said that these new offerings will provide a simple solution to lower the overall cost of storing and managing the growing amounts of retained video surveillance data.

“Due to the predominance of high-resolution cameras at more and more locations, longer retention times imposed by government regulation and compliance policies, plus the growing use of video analytics, our surveillance customers’ data continues to grow,” said Choon-Seng Tan, general manager, strategic markets for Quantum. “With our Tiger Surveillance partnership, we are extending our video surveillance solutions to include cloud-enabled workflows for greater agility, pay-as-you-grow economics, and easy scalability. In addition, we can more effectively deliver complete end-to-end video surveillance solutions, from ingest to analysis to archive.”

According to Quantum, there is a growing demand for the archival of video surveillance to be retained for evidence, compliance, and for business insights like loss prevention. This can result in reduced capital expenses, protection against disasters, and better use of high-performance storage in their video management systems the company said. IDC, an industry analyst firm, estimates that daily global video data capture will likely increase to over 18 exabytes by 2025, fueling a demand for long term storage options.

“With our partnership with Quantum, we continue to expand our presence in the video surveillance market,” noted Lance Kelson, CEO, Tiger Surveillance. “Surveillance Bridge, our software-only solution, enables customers to easily adopt public and private cloud storage solutions into their video surveillance workflows. This unlocks tremendous opportunities for seamless capacity expansion, disaster recovery, cost optimization, and long-term video retention. We look forward to driving our joint solutions to market with Quantum.”

Joint solutions from Tiger Surveillance and Quantum are immediately available. Surveillance Bridge plug-ins compatible with Quantum VS-HCI, USP and Smart NVR solutions are available for a variety of video management systems, including Milestone, Avigilon, Genetec, and Qognify.
