  • Jan 29, 2009

Pivot3 Inc. recently announced that the company has joined the Milestone Solutions Partner Program and the IP User Group as part of its international expansion.

"Pivot3 came to market with a powerful storage offering for IP video installations, delivering combined hardware of both servers and storage in a physical rack,” said Martin Kaufmann, Milestone MSP program manager. “This provides a solution that is easy to install, configure and manage for our joint customers, offering the best of all worlds with the Milestone open platform freedom of choice and the Pivot3 minimal use of resources.”

The Milestone Solutions Partner Program enables system integrators and equipment manufacturers to develop security or other business solutions that are integrated with the Milestone IP video management platform. The MSP program offers access to the Milestone SDK with APIs for making integrations, programming support and marketing cooperation.

“Milestone continues to be a leading partner and, as one of the early pioneers in the open-systems model, is an ideal partner for Pivot3,” said Lee Caswell, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Pivot3. ”The cooperative work we are doing with Milestone allows our joint worldwide customers to take advantage of Milestone’s leading-edge video surveillance applications with the added safety of proven, highly scalable storage from Pivot3.”

Pivot3 is also announcing its new affiliation with the IP User Group, a dedicated Security Technology Forum providing education on IP within physical security applications.

“I welcome Pivot3 to the IP User Group and I am looking forward to learning from their experience in the data storage industry,” said Andy Hennings, membership secretary at the IP User Group. “Data storage is a major part of a video surveillance project, and I know our members will be able to take advantage of the industry insight that a leading-edge surveillance storage company such as Pivot3 will provide.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
