Milestone's XProtect software is built on an open architecture, the company said, providing VARs with the ability to design solutions that make use of cameras, video decoders and storage solutions from a variety of manufacturers.

"Businesses of all sizes are replacing traditional analog security systems with IP-enabled physical security solutions that provide greater functionality and higher returns on investment," said Chuck Bartlett, Tech Data's vice president for Networking Product Marketing, in a statement. Barlett added that the Milestone product complements Tech Data's existing line of network infrastructure, cameras, DVRs and other physical security products.

Tech Data's Physical Security Unit will offer a range of Milestone's products designed to fit into different sized IT environments.

In addition, resellers can leverage the XProtect line to deploy large enterprise-class solution spread across multiple sites and severs supporting thousands of cameras or an SMB implementation with a single server managing less than 25 cameras.

Tech Data also will distribute XProtect Transact and Retail, and XProtect Central, add-on solutions that link video recordings with point of sale transaction data.
