Spec's

Retail Chain Manages Liability with IP Security

The Customer

Spec's Wine, Spirits and Finer Foods has been owned and operated by the same Houston family since 1962. The company operates more than 60 stores located throughout the state of Texas, offering the best selections of wines, spirits, beers, liqueurs, cigars and, in its larger stores, fine gourmet foods.

The Challenges

  • Allow the loss prevention team to quickly research the cause of an event
  • Upgrade to a reliable digital system without adding administrative personnel or costs
  • Select a system that could support future expansion plans

The Solution

Pivot3 offers scalable storage that can be shared by many servers. This innovative approach matches the availability, bandwidth, and needs of capacity-intensive markets with a scale-out approach that lets customers dynamically expand over time. The CloudBank appliance and integration of server and storage virtualization enables Spec’s to extend the life of its video while reducing costs. Normally, storage costs account for more than 40 percent of the cost of a surveillance system. Pivot3 helps reduce these costs significantly with its free virtual server and decreases investment for hardware replacement. The company's industry leading technology accomplishes this while increasing reliability, efficiency and data recovery.
