NetApp, Bosch Security Partner

FAIRPORT, N.Y. -- Bosch Security Systems and NetApp, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTAP), have formed a strategic, global partnership to capitalize on the rapid development of the IP video surveillance market. Under terms of the agreement, Bosch will sell and support cobranded NetApp storage devices as part of its closed-circuit television (CCTV) portfolio.

“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 a 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 systems integrators and our newest generation of customers—IT-savvy end users.”
