Intransa Signs Norbain; Strengthens Distribution Channel in United Kingdom and Ireland

Posted on May 11, 2012 by admin

Intransa is expanding its distribution channel into the United Kingdom and Ireland and has announced a distribution partnership with Norbain SD. Norbian is widely recognized as one of Europe’s most successful distributors of CCTV, IP Video, Access Control and Intruder Detection equipment.

“Our European expansion is in direct response to the accelerated demand for open, IP-based security products around the globe,” said Bud Broomhead, CEO, Intransa. “The security industry is changing quickly due to the flexibility of IP and customers are increasingly looking to companies that have easy-to-use, reliable platforms. Our flexible products enable customers to install security platforms that are scalable and competitively priced.”

The partnership will extend the reach of Intransa’s open platform server, storage and appliances to the European market. Intransa’s video-optimized platforms are built for the unique demands of video security and are integrated with its security-oriented services portfolio for affordable and simplified local installations as well as for use in advanced cloud deployments.

“Intransa has a strong track record of delivering video optimized server and storage platforms for the IP video surveillance market,” said Andrew Pigram, technical director, Norbain. “And, we are consistently searching for the best technologies. Intransa’s server, storage and appliance platforms allow us to capture new market opportunities and launching its IP product portfolio into Europe is a key part of that strategy.”

More information on the Intransa and Norbain partnership can be found at the Norbain booth # Hall 5 D20 at IFSEC, May 14-17, 2012, in NEC Birmingham, UK.

Security and Support Go Hand in Hand But Are They?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin

Today’s video security systems are more important than ever. Unfortunately, no matter how good the surveillance cameras and video management system software are, if the server and storage hardware infrastructure is not operating correctly due to failed components, the entire video system is at risk. We would like to learn more from security professionals through a SHORT survey regarding what the customer support pain points are when monitoring physical security systems. Please take a minute to share your thoughts. It really should only take a minute. Thanks.

ISC West Wraps Up

Posted on April 1, 2012 by admin

ISC West 2012 wrapped up on Friday afternoon after a busier-than expected last day. It was a great event for Intransa.

While the first two days of the show were above expectations, usually the final day of any event is less exciting… especially in Vegas. But the Intransa booth team was pleasantly surprised that booth traffic kept up all day and an integrator even brought a prospect over AFTER the show closed. Then lights went off and the rugs were rolled up!

The Intransa crew finished the booth tear down on Saturday, and then coordinated shipping back to the warehouse in Santa Clara. And then the last of them got to fly back home late Saturday after a very long but productive week.

Thanks go to all of Intransa’s partners at the show and the Intransa booth crew.  Lots of leads were gleaned and new project opportunities will certainly follow. Intransa also met with more than a dozen press and analysts ensuring lots of continued media coverage of Intransa’s platforms and services in upcoming electronic and print issues.

Intransa’s next big event is ASIS in the fall of 2012 but in the meantime the company has a number of partner roadshows and regionally-targeted events – such as Secured Cities Chicago coming up later in April 2012.  See you on the road soon!
