Adding to its growing physical security portfolio, Ingram Micro
Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest wholesale technology
distributor and a global leader in IT supply-chain, mobile device
lifecycle services and logistics solutions, today announced its
SecurePOD bundle. The new IP video surveillance bundle was created
in conjunction with industry leaders Axis Communications, Dell,
Intel and Milestone Systems.
Offered through the Ingram Micro North America Physical Security
business unit, the new SecurePOD bundle will be previewed in Ingram
Micro's booth, #23091, at ISC West, April 10-12, in Las Vegas.
Expected availability is the end of Q2 2013.
The new offering gives resellers and integrators a high-value,
pre-validated physical surveillance solution that enables them to
capitalize on the growth of IP video-based security across a wide
range of industries. Featuring competitive price and performance
advantages, combined with industry-leading branding and channel
enablement services available exclusively through Ingram Micro,
SecurePOD is designed specifically for IT resellers and integrators
in need of a powerful, yet simple, way to jumpstart their IP video
surveillance practices.
"We developed the SecurePOD bundle from the ground up to give
our channel partners a way to not only successfully enter -- but to
also excel -- in the fast-growing market of IP video surveillance,"
says Tom Burns, director, Physical Security business unit, Ingram
Micro North America. "With our depth and breadth of vendor
relationships, solutions and specializations, Ingram Micro is well
positioned to create solution bundles such as SecurePOD that bring
together many of the IT industry's best technologies into a simple,
easy-to-sell solution."
Market experts indicate that more than 60 percent of new video
surveillance installations today still utilize analog technology.
However, by the year 2020, these experts predict that nearly 100
percent of surveillance installations will utilize IP camera,
storage and network technology. The SecurePOD bundle helps IT
integrators and resellers capitalize on this market
opportunity.
Based on an open framework, SecurePOD is ideal for use across a
wide range of video security applications requiring 16 to 256
IP-based cameras. The SecurePOD effort is a great example of the
unique value that Ingram Micro brings customers by being able to
combine strengths in a variety of technologies, including physical
security, networking and advanced computing. The solution leverages
Dell's industry leading PowerEdge server portfolio with enhanced
customization by the Dell OEM Solutions group.
"Offering optimum capacity, performance and usability features,
this new bundle addresses the most important factors that drive
success for the channel in the video security marketplace," says
Dave Panziera, segment marketing manager, Intelligent Systems Group
at Intel Corporation.
"By engaging with Ingram Micro to deliver this multi-vendor
solution to the market, our resellers gain a valuable go-to-market
edge through access to unrivaled channel and industry expertise,
extended warranties and pre- and post-sales support," adds
Panziera.
To accelerate sales, Ingram Micro is offering resellers branding
services to set the stage for effective, high-impact marketing and
sales programs surrounding their SecurePOD initiatives. In
addition, Ingram Micro is providing business and sales training,
along with technical training for building and customizing the
solution. Upon completion of these programs, resellers can earn
certifications that further set them apart in the market.
