NEI's platform hosts advanced video lifecycle management software that delivers high-quality surveillance and performance, while dramatically reducing video storage requirements
CANTON, Mass. , Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NEI (Nasdaq: NENG), a leading provider of application deployment platforms, appliances and services for storage, security, carrier-class and enterprise communications applications, today announced that TimeSight Systems, an industry leader in Video Lifecycle Management (VLM), is deploying its video surveillance application on an NEI appliance platform.
Driven by the need to eliminate grainy video quality and gaps in video coverage, the demand for high resolution, extended retention video surveillance storage systems is expected by analysts to grow into a multi-billion dollar storage market. Industry experts have noted that the key to addressing the prime obstacle to growth in this sector lies in reducing the mounting storage costs that result from the rapidly increasing deployment of high-resolution, IP-based cameras.

"In today's economic environment, businesses are looking for enterprise-class quality and reliability in a powerful, cost-effective turnkey solution. Combining the competitive hardware design from NEI with the incredible storage savings from our VLM software and video surveillance, users can now easily transition to higher resolution video with longer retention times," said Charles Foley , TimeSight Systems chairman and CEO.
