Infortrend, the networked storage expert, and Milestone, a leader in open platform IP video management software, announced a partnership whereby Infortrend is a Milestone Solution Partner (MSP).

Infortrend systems offer high-performance data storage to meet the requirements of demanding application environments, and are extremely reliable to ensure high data availability. Supporting 3TB disk drives, the storage arrays offer large capacities ideal for video surveillance. Users can choose between SAN systems (Fibre Channel or iSCSI connectivity) or DAS systems (SAS connectivity) based on their own datacenter requirements.
In addition, the systems offer excellent scaling capabilities. Users can flexibly add expansion enclosures for extra capacity, or take advantage of the scale-out technology on ESVA systems, which enables linear scaling of capacity and performance by adding systems to an existing storage pool. With these capabilities, users can gradually expand capacities based on actual business needs and “pay as they grow”, without the need for large upfront investments.
Martin Friis-Mikkelsen, Head of Strategic Alliances at Milestone Systems, stated: “At Milestone, we strive to make our IP video management software scalable for as many user needs as possible, and by partnering with a leading storage vendor such as Infortrend we ensure that we move closer to that goal. Milestone customers can also choose flexible storage from Infortrend systems for their video surveillance environments.”
Thomas Kao, Director of product planning at Infortrend, said: “We are constantly on the lookout for ways to better integrate our storage systems in user environments. Milestone's IP video management software has been widely adopted by a large number of customers around the world, and becoming a Milestone Solution Partner offers us a great opportunity to further strengthen our advantages in the video surveillance market.”
