New server with extra security unveiled by Quantum

Surveillance and security solution firm Quantum Corporation on Monday announced a new server to enable customers run video management systems (VMS) or analytic applications with extra security. The server named Xcellis Application Director offers multiple methods of connecting to storage for efficient data management.With the new server, users can access data without adding to network traffic for a more efficient video surveillance infrastructure."Xcellis Application Director extends the benefits of Quantum solutions to a broader range of customers and eliminates the gap between appliance-based surveillance storage solutions and large scalable models that haven't been a good fit for small camera count environments," explained Wayne Arvidson, Vice President, Surveillance and Security Solutions, Quantum, in a statement."With Xcellis Application Director, system integrators can easily configure storage solutions to address a uniquely expansive range of surveillance customers," added Jim Ricker, Vice President, Supplier Relations, Anixter. This comes right after the recent security breaches and terror attacks all around where secure surveillance becomes an essential weapon to avoid such concerns. Another issue the additional security is implemented is to stop the damage done by ransomware that are causing rampage by infected systems all around the globe.With inputs from IANS
