Samsung and Pivot3 Collaborate to Offer Turnkey Video Surveillance Solution

The partnership between the two companies will deliver innovation and reliability to security market.

  • Nov 27, 2012

Samsung Techwin, a global supplier of video surveillance and security products combining superior performance and value, announced a collaborative partnership with Pivot3 in which the two companies will offer a unified IP video surveillance solution to new and existing clients. The agreement follows a Pivot3 Series E round of funding led by Samsung Ventures, which also included all existing Pivot3 investors.

The agreement between Pivot3 and Samsung Techwin is an independent commercial partnership. By combining Pivot3 vSTAC Watch appliances with Samsung video management software and security cameras, surveillance users can leverage one appliance for the viewing, recording and storage of video surveillance data. The unified solution delivers ease of video management and recording, reduces the amount of required hardware, and protects critical video data and VMS applications from catastrophic hardware failure.

Pivot3 is a leading provider of unified storage and compute appliances, and is the #1 supplier of IP Storage Area Networks (SANs) to the video surveillance market. The company is recognized as one of the most innovative and forward-thinking vendors in the virtualization space by CRN Magazine and was selected by the Wall Street Journal for the prestigious “2011 Next Big Thing” award.

Samsung and Pivot3 sales teams and manufacturers’ representatives will be actively involved in collaborative sales activities under the new partnership. Activities will include joint selling, business planning, lead and information sharing as well as leveraging the resources and market influencers of both companies. Governance of projects will be managed through project registration and price protection, among other policies and procedures.

Digital video surveillance systems generate tremendous amounts of data that must be managed and stored and customer expectations are rising. The Samsung-Pivot3 collaboration is designed to address and overcome these challenges with specific strengths and resources that, when combined, are unique in the industry. IMS Research forecasts that 2013 will be the tipping point for world IP surveillance equipment sales to overtake analog video equipment sales, and through their technology partnership, Samsung and Pivot3 will provide comprehensive solutions that meet the needs of an ever-evolving marketplace.

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
