EMC Gets Physical

With users under pressure to improve both physical and digital security, EMC has unveiled a set of services linking storage devices to IP video, security cameras, and building alarms.

The vendor announced a partnership today with video security specialist Verint and a set of assessment and design services for physical building security.

"The reality is that customers now have a lot of devices that range from cameras and alarms to card readers and intrusion detection systems," explains Dick O'Leary, senior director of EMC's global solutions group. "The industry requirements [for security] are increasing."

From government-led border security projects to port surveillance and the retail industry's attempts to nab shop-lifters, the video surveillance market is booming.

In an attempt to tap into this trend, EMC today unveiled its Assessment For Physical Security service, delivered jointly with systems integrators such as BT and Unisys, and Design for Physical Security, which implements the findings of the assessment service.
