International. BCDVideo announced that it already has its new hybrid cloud connectivity offering in partnership with software developer, Tiger Technology, specializing in designing secure, high-performance data management solutions for enterprises in the enterprise IT, surveillance, media and entertainment, and small and medium business (SMB)/small and medium enterprise (SMB) markets.
This joint offering provides security customers with an avenue to connect their video management systems (VMS), image archiving and communication systems (PACS), artificial intelligence and analytics to the cloud.
All BCDVideo and Video Storage Solution (VSS) video devices will include Harmonize Bridge powered by Tiger. These cloud-ready devices began rolling out as a standard feature on March 1, 2021. The BCD Harmonize Bridge offering allows the integrator or end user to choose the cloud provider of their choice.
A partnership with Tiger Technology means BCD customers can seamlessly manage storage and cloud services, all while maintaining legacy applications and workflows. This distinctive offering allows customers to store data on-premises as well as in public and/or private clouds. Customers can infinitely customize their storage system, prioritizing cameras that require hot cloud storage and immediate information, while protecting devices that send images directly to cold storage for long-term storage and analysis.
The popularity of local and remote data storage has been on the rise, in both public and private clouds, due to the easy access and clean workflow collaboration it allows between remote installations with a shared dataset. These hybrid systems allow customers to integrate specialized services, such as artificial intelligence (AI), video playback, data archiving, and long-term retention, without the need for local builds. This makes hybrid models the premium option for deployments that aim to expand the size of their systems, which would otherwise require large capital investments. Generally speaking, hybrid cloud infrastructures reduce costs, maximize return on investment (ROI), and offer operational flexibility to any security customer, all while keeping data accessible and secure.
Jason Glover, Vice President of Sales: "BCDVideo now offers this technology within its full portfolio of BCDVideo and VSS video devices, as a download on all legacy BCD systems. This means integrators can continue to provide on-site hardware with the new added capacity of cloud storage products to give end users more immediacy and flexibility than ever before."
