Bosch forms global partnership with NetApp
 

• Strategic move anticipates rapid market growth 
• Global partnership aligns leaders in storage and video  surveillance 
• Agreement links sales and support teams and research and  development

Bosch Security Systems and NetApp (Network Appliance Inc. based in  Sunnyvale,CA/U.S.) have formed a global partnership. Under terms of the  signed agreement, Bosch will sell and support co-branded NetApp storage  devices as part of its CCTV portfolio. Bosch Security Systems is a  worldwide acting company for security systems, NetApp is a creator of  innovative storage and data management solutions. The agreement is a  strategic move anticipating continued rapid development of the IP video  surveillance market.

“The market is continuing to mature in its understanding of IP video  system architectures, resulting in a substantial up tick in the adoption  of Bosch’s approach for recording video ­ streaming video direct to RAID  array or storage area network and eliminating network video recorders,”  said Johan Jubbega, vice president of Global Video Systems and Products,  Bosch Security Systems, Inc. “The partnership with NetApp will increase  the options we offer our customers by adding proven technology from a  leading storage solution provider. These products will appeal to system  integrators and our newest generation of customers ­ IT-savvy end users”. 

Bosch pioneered the development of IP cameras and encoders that stream  directly to RAID array or storage area network (SAN). This award-winning,  efficient approach to video recording is made possible with the use of an  IP-based storage standard ­ Internet Small Computer System Interface  (iSCSI).  With the partnership agreement, Bosch is growing its portfolio of  storage devices that use the iSCSI protocol, as the company will resell  three co-branded NetApp appliances.

The products will include the FAS2000  Series, scaleable cost-effective devices with a storage density up to 65  terabytes, and the S550, a storage appliance for small and medium  applications that was recently recognized by Windows IT Pro  magazine as a 2007 Editors’ Best Award winner. 

“With the desire growing among customers for IP video surveillance  solutions, the timing is right to partner with Bosch,” said Andreas König,  general manager and senior vice president EMEA for NetApp. “By leveraging  NetApp solutions that utilize the iSCSI protocol combined with Bosch  security products, customers are provided with a proven and effective  answer to their video surveillance needs.”

Under terms of the partnership, NetApp will assist Bosch associates  with pre-sales support for the co-branded products. The company will also  deliver training and certification to Bosch technical support groups.  Bosch will provide customers with post-sale technical support for the  storage devices. This level of integration will provide a streamlined  experience for customers during and after the sale of the co-branded  products.  To ensure continued compatibility of products, Bosch will also gain  ongoing insight into NetApp’s technology roadmap. Early access to NetApp’s  devices will assist Bosch in tuning its video surveillance products to  take advantage of new features and functionality in NetApp’s future  storage offerings.
