Data driven Bosch jointly
develops innovative security
solution with NetApp
rates, dynamics and light sensitivity. However, data must also be
manageable efficiently. This is why Bosch Building Technologies
has been working with NetApp since 2011.
“We work with NetApp because they are the data authority,”
said Bernhard Schuster, Executive Vice President Sales
and Marketing at Building Technologies. “NetApp offers the
technologies that ensure that our systems are up and running
and makes managing large data volumes easy with maximum
reliability while lowering costs.”
The BVMS is using real-time data, AI and IoT
power to build a safer, more secure world
etApp, a leading data authority for hybrid cloud, and
Bosch Building Technologies, an expert in security,
safety and communication solutions, have announced
the details of their joint high-performance security solution. The
Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) is using real-time
data, AI and IoT power to build a safer, more secure world. This
is achieved by integrating NetApp Hybrid Flash Arrays with the
Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) for a revolutionary
concept of storage virtualisation.

The NetApp operating system is writing different data streams
directly from the camera to the storage in a compact format and
with high storage density. The result is that video streams and
storage capacity are ideally balanced and backed-up in such a
way that the processes continue to run even if there is a hard
disk failure. The system also allows for the highest scalability.
Advantages of the data-driven partnership
Data and its availability are critical to Bosch Building
Technologies and its customers. Among other solutions,
its extensive product portfolio includes solutions for video
surveillance, intrusion detection, access control, fire detection
and evacuation systems that help empower their customers to
build a safer, more secure world.
To be able to reliably map and record events as well as objects,
a security solution needs industry leading resolution, refresh

However, the digital vision of the Bosch team goes beyond
security. For use at airports, company premises, hotel
complexes and stadiums, recording alone does not do the
job. “Our video systems process image data in real time,” said
Schuster. “Sharing the information with your security and other
enterprise systems, such as warehouse or manufacturing is key
for improving security and reducing costs.”
Greater security and efficiency can be achieved by a seamless
transfer of data to higher-level systems. By adding IoT and
AI, intelligent functions from sensor to connectivity turn the
camera into an even smarter device that delivers valuable
information in a digital infrastructure.
Additional to the forensic capabilities of the system, suspicious
activities are detected in real time by the device’s algorithm.
This can include the detection of inventory theft, tracking
missing shipments in large warehouses, or flame and smoke
detection in seconds. That in turn enables the security
operators to act quickly and efficiently.
High standards: Security and efficiency in
video surveillance
What is special about the joint solution is the unique integration
of Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) and NetApp E-Series
Hybrid Flash Arrays as part of BVMS. The NetApp operating
system is writing the data stream directly to the storage.
By means of virtualisation, all disks can be managed by the
solution as one large storage pool. Like this, the VRM can
automatically balance video streams and storage capacity
ideally, and back it up in such a way that the processes
continue to run even in the event of a hard disk failure. u
