BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - October 6, 2008) - VideoIQ®, Inc. today announced the addition
of Don Bulens to its board of directors. As former president and CEO of
EqualLogic, Bulens led the company to success in the high performance iSCSI
storage area network (SAN) market and ultimately to an acquisition by Dell
for $1.375 billion. Bulens' expertise in the storage industry and proven
track record in bringing revolutionary products to market will help VideoIQ
build on its leadership position in the intelligent video surveillance
marketplace.
Bulens is an industry veteran with extensive experience in strategically
building companies from early-stage to large market leaders. Throughout his
career, he has propelled emerging companies into leadership positions by
devising and executing on innovative channel strategies that led to broad
customer adoption. During his tenure at EqualLogic, its channel program was
one of the fastest-growing and highly regarded in the storage industry,
delivering an extensive portfolio of tools and resources to help partners
achieve and maintain competitive advantage.
Prior to his position with EqualLogic, Bulens served as CEO of Trellix
Corporation, a leading provider of OEM Web publishing tools for consumers
and small businesses, which was acquired by Interland in 2003. Before
Trellix, Bulens played a central role in driving the widespread market
adoption of Lotus Notes. At Lotus, Bulens spearheaded the strategy and
implementation that led to the creation of the industry of more than 18,000
companies that developed and marketed applications and services based on
Lotus Notes.
"Don knows what it takes to build a company, successfully pioneer a market,
and introduce revolutionary benefits to an established marketplace," said
Scott Schnell, CEO of VideoIQ. "In particular, his expertise in bringing
ground-breaking products through the channel will be a tremendous asset to
us as we make intelligence part of every surveillance system. We are
thrilled to have him join the board."
VideoIQ products transform video surveillance into a dynamic, real-time
intelligent system for guarding against intruders and gaining early warning
of security breaches in nearly any environment. Its newest product, the
VideoIQ iCVR (intelligent Camera with Video Recording), builds advanced
video analytics, content-aware storage and intelligent networking into
high-quality IP security cameras. The VideoIQ iCVR represents a
breakthrough in video surveillance by offering unprecedented capabilities
that include: 1) plug-and-play, real-time analytics that warn of threats,
without the need for time-consuming calibration and set up; 2) powerful
appearance-based search that enables users to search for a particular
person or vehicle across all cameras with the click of the mouse; and 3) an
intelligent architecture that maximizes storage quality and minimizes
network bandwidth requirements.
"VideoIQ is poised for tremendous success and its technology has incredible
market potential," said Don Bulens. "The new iCVR product represents a
major breakthrough in video surveillance and storage, and I'm excited to
help the company seize this huge market opportunity."
