Quantum Corp. announced that Zhejiang Uniview Technologies Co. Ltd., a video surveillance system integrator, has agreed to become a Quantum value-added reseller and strategic alliance partner.

Uniview offers a comprehensive line of IP video surveillance products—including IP cameras, network video recorders, encoders, decoders, storage and client software and applications—covering vertical markets such as retail, building, education and municipal government. Uniview will now sell Quantum’s full range of scale-out tiered storage products, enabling customers to manage the transformation in surveillance technology and the massive growth in surveillance data more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Video surveillance solutions

According to industry research firm IHS Markit, the market for enterprise storage used in security and video surveillance in China is projected to increase at a 26 per cent compound annual growth rate between 2014 and 2019. At this rate, IHS Markit expects China to overtake the United States as the largest market in the world for this type of storage by 2018.

Video surveillance is undergoing rapid change, with the accelerated adoption of high-definition cameras, longer retention times for video-based data and the implementation of sophisticated new analytical tools. Storage costs can force customers to compromise in one or more of
these areas.

Data management

Powered by the company’s award-winning StorNext software, Quantum’s highly scalable, multi-tier storage solutions leverage disk, tape, and the cloud to provide an optimal balance of cost, performance, and accessibility for video surveillance workflows. Data can be kept on- or off-premise, including in public, private or hybrid cloud architectures, based on customer preferences.
