At ISC West, Spectra Logic unveiled a new global division: Spectra Video Surveillance, and simultaneously announced Spectra NVR3™, a first to market, enterprise class, fully integrated, video management software (VMS) with intelligent analytics and multi-tiered storage solution.

“Many industries utilize video surveillance for a variety of reasons, and today these projects include vast amounts of higher resolution cameras, more video footage and legal requirements that mandate its archival for years,” said Spectra Logic’s Chief Sales Officer, Brian Grainger. “This market moves at unprecedented speed and operates within stringent guidelines. Our new unit, Spectra Video Surveillance and newest product, Spectra NVR3™, are natural next steps to help our clients stay ahead.”

Supporting the new global division, Spectra NVR3, is a purpose built, high performance, video management software combined with long-term retention. It is the first fully integrated video management solution to include a feature rich VMS, analytics software, and tiered storage – eliminating any unnecessary complexities associated with using multiple vendor solutions.

With an intuitive user friendly interface, Spectra NVR3, allows customers to live view, manage, analyze, record, retain and retrieve surveillance video. Spectra NVR3 is optimized for mission critical functions and provides the highest levels of data assurance combined with easy to use surveillance video management.

NVR3 Overview:

• Integrated enterprise class video management solution includes a high performance server, digital tape library, and a full feature VMS.
• Scales to accommodate unlimited cameras, increasing bandwidth requirements, and long term video retention mandates.
• Tiered storage allows for 100% of video accessibility 100% of the time.

With increasing resolution, the migration of analog to digital video format, and longer retention terms, rising cost of standalone video management systems, network video recorders, and disk-only storage have made video management and retention prohibitively expensive,” added Grainger. “Our NVR3TM solution fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures, allowing customers to affordably retain petabytes of video content, indefinitely.”

Vaidhi Nathan, President and CEO, IntelliVision, stated “IntelliVision is excited to announce our integration and certification with Spectra Logic’s NVR3 product line,” said IntelliVision’s President and CEO Vaidhi Nathan. “Fully integrated, our extensive analytics, Spectra’s NVR3’s enterprise VMS and infinite retention capabilities offers a wide variety of customers, the industry’s leading, best in class solution.”

Spectra Logic’s NVR3 TM is an industry changing, comprehensive VMS and tiered storage solution that is scalable and affordable for current and future video surveillance needs.”

Eric Slack, Senior Analyst, Storage Switzerland, commented “Spectra Logic has developed technologies to ensure long-term data integrity for tape-based data recording,” said Storage Switzerland’s Senior Analyst Eric Slack. “Together with tape’s compelling economics the NVR3 gives IT the ability to store as much video as the company desires, essentially forever, and do it at a reasonable cost.”
