Kelley Property Management, an Iowa real-estate company with about 30 employees, is working on setting up security cameras in about 1,000 apartment buildings. We chose Tricord because we dont have in-house tech people, and there was a lot less tech-time cost involved, says company owner Ron Kelley.
Pushan Rinnen, an analyst with Gartner/Dataquest thinks Tricord has a unique approach to clustering storage, but she still has her doubts about Tricords chances to make it big in the security NAS market.
Their brand name isnt strong," she says. "And this isnt an easy time to establish a name, when IT dollars are very limited and companies aren't willing to take risks on new products and new vendors.
Another problem, according to Aberdeen Group Inc. analyst Dan Tanner, is that Tricord only supports CIFS (Windows) and MAC, not UNIX. Thats kind of unusual, since most people are looking for something more flexible, he says. Its not a positive thing.
