Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, is partnering with Johnson Controls, which offers a portfolio of building technology, software and services, to deliver high-performance, secure, and cost-effective cloud storage for the video surveillance industry. According to the announcement, the combination of Wasabi hot cloud storage and Johnson Controls’ exacqVision video management system (VMS) brings organizations an affordable, fully integrated cloud storage and VMS solution with the added security of Wasabi’s immutable buckets to help prevent data loss.

“Wasabi offers our partner and customer ecosystems a better cloud storage option with more transparent and predictable pricing than other vendors,” said George Martinez, director, product management, Johnson Controls. “This becomes critically important as surveillance systems generate massive amounts of data.
