Iomega Partners with Axis Communications to Connect the Cloud for Hosted Video Surveillance

Iomega, an EMC company and an innovator in data storage solutions for small and medium businesses as well as distributed enterprises, announced the integration of Iomega network storage products with the video hosting system from Axis Communications, the market leader in network video. Iomega is shipping the first of its NAS models with an integrated video hosting system client that enables customers to store video files locally and at HDTV or megapixel resolution while simultaneously streaming video data to a secure off-site storage facility developed by their hosting provider.

The Iomega network storage devices, along with Axis network cameras and encoders, allow resellers and integrators to deliver video surveillance capabilities to small and medium-sized customers that are secure, remotely accessible, and a cost-effective solution compared to DVR-based analog systems with small camera counts.

“Eliminating the need for expensive and complex DVRs, as well as reducing the necessity of elaborate on-site infrastructure for low camera count deployments, gives our mutual customers a more secure, highly available and cost-effective solution for their video surveillance needs,” said Jonathan Huberman, President of Iomega. “By partnering with Axis to integrate video hosting system into our network storage products, powered by EMC's security and storage technologies, Iomega continues to deliver advanced yet economical network storage solutions to the marketplace."
