Case Study: UNICOM Global achieves real-time operational intelligence and enhanced event security with NetApp E‑Series storage

UNICOM Helps Event Venues Turn Security Video into Customer Insights

UNICOM Global helps event venues turn traditional security video into operational intelligence and customer insights. With security incidents at concerts and sporting events on the rise, venues needed a way to move beyond reactive surveillance—venues struggle to know who is actually in attendance, manage crowd flow, and prevent incidents before they occur.

UNICOM layered its video‑analytics software onto existing surveillance systems and uses NetApp E‑Series storage in a FlexPod configuration with Cisco UCS to process footage in real time. The solution enables proactive threat detection, crowd and concession‑line monitoring, social‑media–linked audience insights, and fast, scalable retention across hundreds or thousands of cameras—producing immediate, trackable business results such as reduced risk, improved operations, and new revenue opportunities.
