Cisco Purchases ViaLogy's SPM™ Product for Its Safety and Security Operations
LONDON, April 30, 2007 - ViaLogy PLC (LSE: VIY), announces that Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) has purchased SPM™ (Sensor Policy Manager) to support safety and security (SAS) operations at its San Jose Campus in California. SPM™ will be deployed within Cisco's converged (voice, video and data) products and IP-network solutions framework called Cisco Connected Real Estate (CCRE).
ViaLogy SPM™ provides a standards-based, sensor-policy engine for interconnecting enterprise-wide distributed subsystems including building management systems (BMS), energy planning, seismic monitoring for business continuity, physical and workplace resources management. Based on sensor triggers and alarms, SPM™ architecture applies user specified policies to enable automated analysis, alerting of appropriate personnel and rapid response.
CCRE aims to deliver significant capital and operational cost savings and improved efficiency by automating complex facilities operations. Cisco's IP-networks combine IT and building management systems on a converged platform carrying voice, video and data alongside heating, ventilation, lighting, energy, video surveillance and access authorization.
According to ViaLogy Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Sandeep Gulati: "The challenge is to monitor, maintain and control the multiple proprietary protocols and interfaces. We are already addressing many of the same computational issues in defense and other critical infrastructure security deployments." He added, "SPM's intrinsic scaleability to handle hundreds to thousands of sensors is key to its success in these applications."
ViaLogy CEO, Mr. Shah Talukder stated: "The past few years we have been seeing a global shift and a heightened awareness for safety and security in the private sector and greater emphasis on technology which enables business continuity and crisis management. According to an IDC market report, the overall worldwide enterprise and government security/ continuity market is growing at a 10% growth rate through 2009, translating into over $120 billion addressable market by 2007."
Mr. Talukder added, "We are delighted that Cisco is deploying SPM at the San Jose campus. This is an important milestone in realizing SPM's potential as a platform for sensor interoperability and to provide a policy-based service delivery architecture based on a customer specific needs."
