SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 16, 2023—Quantum Corporation, the trailblazer in video and unstructured data solutions, has forged a strategic partnership with Tiger Surveillance, a renowned provider of video surveillance data management and protection solutions. Together, they are set to revolutionize the field of long-term retention and archiving of video surveillance data.

In a world where high-resolution cameras are becoming the norm, government regulations demand longer retention times, and video analytics are on the rise, the amount of data generated by surveillance systems is exploding. Recognizing this challenge, Quantum and Tiger Surveillance have combined their expertise to offer an end-to-end solution that addresses the growing need for capturing, storing, and managing vast amounts of video surveillance data.

Their collaboration introduces Quantum’s cutting-edge Smart NVR, VS-HCI, and USP solutions, which seamlessly capture and store video surveillance data, now certified with Tiger Surveillance’s Surveillance Bridge software. This integration empowers users to effortlessly tier and archive data to both public and private storage clouds—a game-changer for the industry.

But what exactly does this mean for customers? Lowering the overall cost of storing and managing video surveillance data is just the beginning. By leveraging cloud-enabled workflows, businesses can achieve greater agility, adopt a pay-as-you-grow model, and easily scale their operations. From ingest to analysis to archive, Quantum and Tiger Surveillance are equipped to deliver complete end-to-end video surveillance solutions.

One of the core advantages of leveraging cloud storage for archiving video surveillance data is the reduction of capital expenses.
