Cloud solutions provide exceptional benefits and Brivo is clearly the market and technology leader. Brivo is also committed to strong, long-standing relationships with its channel partners, which I believe is the best strategy for delivering extremely high customer satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Eagle Eye will remain autonomous from Brivo, Drako will serve as the company\u2019s chairman; Steve Van Till, Brivo\u2019s president and chief executive, will continue serving in this capacity.<\/p>\n<p>He said Eagle Eye will work to integrate Brivo\u2019s flagship solution, Brivo OnAir, with its cloud security camera system, which will help deliver video verification and natively viewable and searchable video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are extremely excited that Dean Drako has acquired Brivo and is serving as chairman. In addition to Dean\u2019s experience founding and leading Barracuda Networks to be a multi-billion dollar company, he has grown his latest company, Eagle Eye Networks, to be the technology leader in cloud video surveillance,\u201d Van Till said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe both share the vision of delivering the tremendous advantages of cloud-based systems to our customers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dean Drako, president and chief executive of Eagle Eye Networks and former Barracuda Networks president has wholly acquired Brivo, a cloud access control firm, for $50m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2809,2810,2811,2812,2185,1976,2813],"tags":[118],"class_list":["post-15204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barracuda-networks","category-brivo","category-dean-drako","category-eagle-eye-networks","category-ma","category-news-analysis","category-video-surveillance","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15204"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15205,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15204\/revisions\/15205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
