Dedicated Network Optix workstations, to buy or rent.

Following the recently announced technical partnership between Video Management Servers Co. (VMS Co.) and Network Optix, VMS Co has introduced four COMPUTE™ workstations optimised for Network Optix systems. The COMPUTE™ workstations are available to buy outright or as a monthly subscription; support up to 32 or 64 video channels; and come with integrated, client graphics options. Paired with the Network Optix, Nx Witness Enterprise platform, which is subscription-only, the workstations give integrators an affordable, combined hardware and software, all-subscription option for advanced, CCTV applications.

Nick Bowden, MD of VMS Co., said, “Our new COMPUTE™ workstations support Network Optix systems of up to 64 channels each. With affordable purchase and subscription options, the workstations encourage wider uptake of video management systems. This broadens the reach of Nx Witness into markets traditionally served by NVRs, such as retail, logistics, commercial estates, industry and hospitality. In addition, deploying the COMPUTE™ workstations on site reduces video streaming and processing costs to below that of equivalent cloud solutions; reduces hacking risks, with less external network exposure; and offers less dependence on broadband or WAN networks, which can often be unreliable. 

“Every COMPUTE™ workstation uses Dell Pro Max professional hardware, with Intel Ultra 7 processors, NVIDIA GPUs for integrated graphics and 16G or 32G RAM options. Microsoft Windows comes as standard, however secure Linux options are also available and VMS Co. can preload Nx Witness software to order, to the required channel count.”

For Nx Witness systems over 64 channels, VMS Co. and Network Optix recommend separating out video processing, analytics and system viewing hardware, addressed by VMS Co.’s separate VMS server, analytics server and client PC ranges.
