The GSN Homeland Security Awards honor the outstanding vendors of IT and physical security products that in the past year introduced innovative technologies and products that protect the nation’s infrastructure and people. Entries included security technologies, products and services that were evaluated by a panel of judges that consisted of experts in information and physical security technologies. The awards also salute dedicated officials, and agencies and departments at federal, state and local levels of government who have created effective and cost-efficient security programs.
Video surveillance is a proven tool in monitoring, analyzing and shifting crime and terrorist activities, and these systems require maximum uptime to be successful. The award-winning Pivot3 Scale-out Application Platform™ provides an innovative storage-centric approach where server applications share storage hardware resources to reduce overall power and cooling costs, resulting in cost reductions of up to 40 percent. Pivot3 solutions also offer application failover that protects both storage and VMS applications in the event of a failure.
"We are delighted with this latest recognition for our scale-out server and storage technology in the fast-growing homeland security market," said Lee Caswell, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, Pivot3. "Homeland security applications generate massive amounts of video data that must be processed, protected and stored, and Pivot3 allows the latest virtualization and scale-out technologies to be managed by non-technical users. It is now possible for video surveillance customers to realize the cost, power, cooling and rackspace savings that virtualization customers in the IT markets have enjoyed for years."
