English Premier League club Fulham Football Club has deployed a new physical security system that will enable their security team to monitor crowds and improve stadium security. This new solution will incorporate “VMware virtualization and cloud infrastructure framework to set up a private cloud environment.” This solution will not only allow the security team to better monitor fan safety, it also gives them and the police streaming access to videos from any location and on mobile devices. This new system will save Fulham money on operational costs by integrating 36 servers into just 6 servers.Nicolas Pendlebury, Head of IT Projects at Fulham F. C, said in a release, "We were incredibly impressed by EMC's proposal, which presented us with an entire security package from storage to cameras. In addition, it was based on an open-architecture model, allowing us to choose best-of-breed products. The cloud environment is key to the success of the new system, which we estimate will pay for itself in two years. It has enabled us to increase the agility, speed and functionality with which the security team can monitor our sites remotely and safely, and new cameras can be connected to the network at any time."
