Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, has been ranked as the world’s largest provider of branded SAN, NAS and external DAS storage used in video surveillance in 2016, with the largest estimated market share of 22.1%, according to the latest reports from IHS Markit.
“This is the first time that Hikvision has been ranked as the number-one provider in the enterprise storage business. It speaks about the success we have had in the video surveillance market, especially in large-scale projects with citywide storage demands,” said Keen Yao, VP at Hikvision International Business Centre, “As our customers continue to see the great value of employing surveillance data to boost end users’ businesses, enterprise-level data storage is becoming an increasingly important part of a solutions approach to data-centred needs.”
Yao attributes Hikvision’s growth in storage capacity to customer’s increased demand for valued data. For instance, in retail business video is used to observe customer patterns and preferences, as well as employee performance to make better business decisions and improve management. City authorities use video to analyse traffic, reduce congestion, and increase commerce. In addition, with time, data retention times are also increasing; for example, due to regulatory requirements, many companies and authorities are keeping surveillance data much longer, and that is putting even more demand on storage infrastructures.
With years of technological innovations, Hikvision has established an extensive, well-developed line of enterprise storage products combining high data density, modularized design, video management, data safety, and device management features. Together, these characteristics create the most high-performance, scalable and affordable storage solutions available to date, providing customers with autonomous control, stability and efficiency.
