Quality Essential Distribution and Seagate Technology form partnership

The need for reliable data storage and management solutions continues to grow, with CCTV video monitoring and analytics functions becoming increasingly important within video surveillance applications. It’s vital that information gathered by CCTV systems is protected and ready for use, not only for security purposes, but also for business management and law enforcement.

Based in America, Seagate Technology is a recognised specialist when it comes to data storage and management solutions. The new partnership strengthens QED’s CCTV product range with the addition of Seagate’s SkyHawk drives, which are built to protect data.

Seagate also recently announced that its premium file recovery software is now available free of charge. Supported by a 95% success rate against unexpected data loss and delivering access to data recovery experts, businesses can focus on what’s important and rest easy knowing that their files are safe.

Matt Philp, QED’s managing director, said: “This partnership has been driven by the need to add more flexibility to our product range to support our partners. We’re proud to be working with Seagate. Installers can be confident that their customers not only have the best drives available, but that they’re protected across every aspect of those drives.”

Domenico Scordo, sales manager for Northern Europe at Seagate, responded: “Seagate is committed to nurturing its partners. Through the Seagate Partner Programme, we hope to equip them to deliver greater value-added service down the chain. Our channel customers play a critical role in our efforts. This new partnership is an excellent platform for us to deliver the tools that will empower them to help their customers make more educated decisions about data storage in the surveillance market. We’re proud to be partnering with QED to deliver Best-in-Class surveillance solutions for customers.”
