Intransa announced that NetApp E-Series storage systems have been tested and certified for use with Intransa VideoAppliance and server platforms for open, HD-optimized video surveillance projects.

Testing was performed by Intransa with a NetApp E2660 Storage System from the E-Series family. The E2660 is a high-performance storage platform, with a modular design and extreme flexibility. Its flexible design benefits include the capability to scale bandwidth or capacity independently to cost effectively meet a wide range of data center requirements. The E2660 delivers customizable configurations, leveraging a 60-drive shelf with 3TB NL-SAS disk drives to provide up to 180TB for maximum rack density. Other features include a fully redundant I/O path, advanced protection features, and iSCSI and Fibre Channel interface options. In addition to the E2660, the E5460 from the E-Series family provides the same density and higher performance.

“NetApp customers are now able to deploy their choice of applications from the physical security industry’s leading video management system vendors with confidence,” said Bud Broomhead, CEO, Intransa. “Integration with Intransa video-optimized servers and appliances eliminates many of the challenges for IT customers who need to deploy a reliable video surveillance system.”

Intransa’s video-optimized server and appliance platforms eliminate the challenges of untested commodity servers in the demanding, 24x7x365 world of video surveillance. The company’s patented and patent-pending software technology, services and video optimization, along with extensive hardware tuning, have been proven in thousands of customer’s video security installations.

Pretesting by the Intransa Technology Lab, with 3rd party security applications such as video management systems, video analytics, access control and PSIM, along with standard IP, Megapixel, and HD cameras, helps to identify interoperability, performance and integration challenges in advance of installation at a customer site. OEM storage platform testing, such as that recently completed by the NetApp E2600 storage system, ensures that the entire system works together to address demanding customer video requirements from the physical security world on world-class enterprise IT hardware.

The NetApp E2600 storage system will be displayed integrated with Intransa platforms in booth #26127 at ISC West, March 28-30, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Those visiting the booth will also have the opportunity to win an Apple iPod Touch or an Apple iPad, along with picking up the latest Intransa product and services information.
