Among the growing customer base is the City of Bogota, Colombia, who partnered with Lenovo and Pivot3 to refresh its complex monitoring system of over 1000 cameras of different vendors. The City of Bogota deployed a highly efficient Lenovo/Pivot3 edge computing solution which achieved maximum infrastructure efficiency to scale the entire security network into a single control center. With this new deployment in edge computing, the City of Bogota is now able to seamlessly scale performance requirements as surveillance needs grow. Following this initial deployment for the City of Bogota, the suburbs of Bogota additionally chose the combined Pivot3-Lenovo technology for another 2,000 cameras located just outside the city limits.
“The simplicity and scale of our security has dramatically improved thanks to the new modernized control center,” said Rafael Padilla, City Government Systems Integrator, City of Bogota. “With this new edge computing platform our security team may view any camera, regardless of brand across the city from a single location.”
