DC-Based Provider of Storage Solutions Sees Emerging Need Among

Customer Base for NetBotz Physical Security Monitoring

NetBotz Inc., the leading global provider of IP-based intelligent physical security solutions, today announced the addition of COMPUMART to its roster of Solution Partners.

With more than 2,000 customers, NetBotz provides Intelligent Physical Security Monitoring solutions that safeguard critical assets and spaces from physical threats such as hostile human acts and harmful environmental factors. NetBotz does this by providing early warning of physical threats or events that can jeopardize these investments.

Based out of Washington, D.C., COMPUMART specializes in providing storage solutions to government and commercial customers. These solutions range from data storage media, data conversion and recovery to media rework and destruction. The company includes a wide range of government agencies nationwide among its customer base.

According to Terry Jones, President of COMPUMART, two converging trends are behind the growing need for physical threat monitoring of storage assets. "Data centers are housing greater amounts of storage while, at the same time, storage infrastructure is becoming distributed throughout an organization. This means storage assets are becoming increasingly vulnerable to physical threats -- from hostile human acts to harmful environmental factors such as extreme temperatures. Partnering with NetBotz enables us to offer our customers affordable and capable physical threat security of their storage assets."

"In business for 25 years, COMPUMART has extensive expertise and success in providing storage products and services that help customers to run their businesses," said Ned Schantz, Director, Federal Sales. "Thus, they fully understand the growing physical security needs of their client base, including the need to protect remote storage assets. We were delighted they turned to NetBotz to help their customers run safer, more secure environments."

Recently, NetBotz announced the WallBotz 500, the newest addition to its award-winning line of "Sentry" appliances, an emerging new breed of appliances that protects an organization's assets from physical threats. A surveillance-grade camera; a modular architecture that features snap off sensors for greater threat protection flexibility, secure SSL transmission of sensitive security data and wireless connectivity are among the inventive features of the WallBotz 500. In addition, the modular design makes it easy for NetBotz to broaden its threat protection capabilities by partnering with developers of "homeland security" sensors, such as those that detect nuclear, biological and/or chemical agents.

The company also announced the latest version of NetBotz Central 2.0, which gives users a centralized way to deploy, configure and manage hundreds of appliances throughout an organization. Redundancy, greater storage of physical threat data, and "hot standby capability" mean users have a fail safe, fast and secure access to their enterprise-wide physical security information.
