Promise Technology Inc., a developer of open storage platforms for video surveillance, has been named the ‘Best Storage Solution Partner’ in Africa by Milestone Systems. Promise has now received this honour from Milestone on two continents, having also been designated as its leading storage solutions partner for the past two years in APAC.

Latest Milestone certifications

Milestone is a provider of open platform IP video management software (VMS), and the company’s relationship with Promise is a longstanding one that enables strategic collaboration. In 2014, Promise became one of the first IT infrastructure vendors to be certified by Milestone, and by continuing to qualify its storage appliances with XProtect® VMS Promise provides customers with even more solutions to solve their security challenges.

Integrators and end users designing, installing and operating surveillance systems which incorporate the Vess A-Series storage appliances and XProtect VMS can have confidence that the system will deliver an optimised user experience and perform reliably. Promise’s Vess A2330 and A3340 storage appliances are the latest offerings to become Milestone-certified.
