The video management software (VMS) company Milestone Systems is hosting its Milestone Community Days EMEA (MIPS) from May 8 to 10 in Dubai, for hundreds of delegates and more than 30 exhibiting partners. The company says that MIPS networking events are also extending the Milestone open platform approach, as an enabler in video solutions moving beyond traditional security.
Milestone is adding two new business-ready products to the XProtect product, in response the firm says to market demands for the ability to network smaller systems. R2, the second product update of XProtect 2017, was also introduced at the event. That features a recording server performance of 3.1 Gigabit/S, to contribute the company says to hardware cost savings and a simplified infrastructure. As video management systems are becoming more and more business-critical, it is imperative that the software is as secure as possible, according to the product developers. The XProtect 2017 R2 update includes several security enhancements for improved cybersecurity, Milestone adds.
More than 30 partners are showcasing integrations with XProtect and a range of add-on products, from infrastructure to video analytics on the edge and sensors as VMS devices. The sponsoring partners are:
Diamond: Allied Telesis, Fujitsu
Platinum: iCetana, Pivot 3, Seagate Technologies, Venzo Secure
Gold: Axis Communications, Fibernetix, Hikvision, IBM, Intransa, NetApp, Scality
Silver: Advancis, Axone Systems, BARCO, Bosch, Dahua, Dell EMC, Ela-soft, G2K Group, Ipsotek, Nedap, Optex, Pablo Niklas, Parking Spotter (Milestone Kickstarter winner), Promise Technology, Quantum, Rasilient, Snap Surveillance, Soliton, Spectra Logic, Vidsys, XPR Group.

This is the perfect opportunity for partners and customers to experience the solution power of our community.”
