Abu Dhabi Monitoring and Control Centre (ADMCC) today announced a strategic collaboration with Dell EMC driven towards achieving their ambitious vision to build a secure and intelligent city.

Intelligent cities as a concept are safer cities, utilizing advanced infrastructure to connect and protect the citizens while creating a more efficient and liveable space. In line with this objective, ADMCC aims to embrace digital transformation to interconnect public and private services, increase innovation and efficiency, and provide credible measures to enhance safety and security of the citizens of the capital through surveillance cameras.

Surveillance cameras are a critical building block of an intelligent city, which efficiently provide real-time data on a number of city services such as police and emergency services, electricity, water, lighting, and traffic management. However, eliminating human error is a key driver to increase operational efficiency of video streams. To this end, ADMCC, through its transformational project with Dell EMC, aims to deploy industry-leading, highly available and space efficient solutions to build an advanced control center and manage mission critical applications, which can monitor and analyze video streams from surveillance cameras.

Leveraging Dell EMC ViPR Controller, storage automation software, to optimize the control centre will reduce human error and the number of staff focusing on managing the infrastructure, compared to the existing setup. In addition, these scalable, secure and highly available solutions will enable ADMCC to meet their surveillance data needs and simplify management of unstructured data. This move comes in the light of enabling government agencies to better pre-empt and respond to emergencies and safeguard the city’s inhabitants.

ADMCC’s advanced control center will act as a hub enabling the capital to develop cutting edge capabilities of exercising situational intelligence, such as intelligent traffic management.
