Milestone strives to continuously increase its compatibility with new devices.
  • XAtlas, the multi-platform security management system designed by Zucchetti Axess, allows access control integration, workplace security, time and attendance data collection, anti-intrusion and firefighting integration, video surveillance, vehicle transit management and company canteen and parking management.

"This partnership is very exciting to us, as it opens a whole new channel for us,” said Claus Rønning, director Southern Europe & DACH, Milestone Systems. “Italian IT professionals will be able to use a world-class network infrastructure component and access control software to build value-filled PSIM solutions using leading open platform video management software. The ability to integrate Zucchetti’s and Netgear’s extensive partner network into the Milestone partner ecosystem will expand our combined market reach. This is truly a forward-looking partnership."

The new partnership is already stirring up excitement at Netgear and Zucchetti.

"Netgear is synonymous with quality and reliability,” said Stefano Barbieri, regional sales director CBU, Netgear Italy. “We are confident that all Netgear partners will seize the opportunity to increase their skills in the field of security, providing solutions that include Milestone video management system. We are also confident that the market will surely obtain benefit from this collaboration."

"The benefits for end users will be remarkable, starting with the fact that the access control functionalities of Xatlas software will be directly accessible through the XProtect platform interface, with modular and scalable settings, according to specific requirements," stated Domenico Uggeri, Zucchetti vice president.
