Validation of OVRL/Tandberg product lines, improved storage products w/opportunity for improved margins.

They are simple to configure, have been rock solid for months, and the few times we’ve needed support they were readily available and helpful. The SnapServer NAS allows us to offer a complete IP video solution for our MOBOTIX surveillance installations.’”
