ioimage, e-Convergence Solutions Partner

  • Aug 15, 2008
ioimage recently announced that it has signed an agreement with e-Convergence Solutions, a specialized distributor of presence, security and convergence technologies, to distribute ioimage products to data networking VARs in North America.

As a result of this partnership, e-Convergence Solutions will market off-the-shelf intelligent video solutions from ioimage. e-Convergence Solutions, based in Centreville, Va., specializes in the data networking market, providing IT and security-related convergence products to data networking VARs and integrators throughout North America. A high concentration of e-Convergence reseller partners serve the federal government, intelligence community and commercial market.

“ioimage represents the first physical security device offered by e-Convergence Solutions to data networking VARs and the many high-level government customers they serve in the Washington, D.C. area and beyond,” said Joseph Heinzen, president of e-Convergence Solutions. “We’ve begun to incorporate physical security solutions in our product offering, because there’s a logical association between keeping someone from coming in the door and then letting them on the network. We feel that physical security and data networking security are a powerful combination for convergence applications and that video surveillance is the next big data network application.”

Thanks to the addition of ioimage products at e-Convergence Solutions, companies such as LANtek Inc., a network solutions provider in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, have begun implementing intelligent video solutions from ioimage for several customers; projects in the pipeline also include a local municipality and the military.

“We look for products that fill a unique niche,” said Dennis Cichelli, president of LANtek, Inc. “ioimage offers network-based intelligent video products. It’s a natural extension of our capabilities to add this to the network, enabling clients to access surveillance from anywhere.”

ioimage offers a comprehensive line-up of intelligent video devices, including video encoders and IP cameras that enable installers to take a plug-and-play approach to video analytics. ioimage solutions are ideal for retrofitting installations and for new sites. Its solutions have been deployed by car dealerships, manufacturing facilities, utilities and retail operations.

“This partnership with e-Convergence Solutions offers a comprehensive reach into the physical security, IT, data and government security markets,” said John Whiteman, VP and general manager for ioimage North America. “Now we can provide a simple-to-install solution to the data networking industry, an important sector within our sales and marketing efforts.”

  • The Future is Happening Outside the Cloud

    For years, the cloud has captivated the physical security industry. And for good reason. Remote access, elastic scalability and simplified maintenance reshaped how we think about deploying and managing systems. But as the number of cameras grows and resolutions push from HD to 4K and beyond, the cloud’s limits are becoming unavoidable. Bandwidth bottlenecks. Latency lags. Rising storage costs. These are not abstract concerns. Read Now

  • The Impact of Convergence Between IT and Physical Security

    For years, the worlds of physical security and information technology (IT) remained separate. While they shared common goals and interests, they often worked in silos. Read Now

  • Unlocking Trustworthy AI: Building Transparency in Security Governance

    In situations where AI supports important security tasks like leading investigations and detecting threats and anomalies, transparency is essential. When an incident occurs, investigators must trace the logic behind each automated response to confirm its validity or spot errors. Demanding interpretable AI turns opaque “black boxes” into accountable partners that enhance, rather than compromise, organizational defense. Read Now

  • Seeking Innovative Solutions

    Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. You may recognize these terms as the “5 Phases” of a grieving process, but they could easily describe the phases one goes through before adopting any new or emerging innovation or technology, especially in a highly risk-averse industry like security. However, the desire for convenience in all aspects of modern life is finally beginning to turn the tide from old school hardware as the go-to towards more user-friendly, yet still secure, door solutions.
