StorMagic®, simplifying storage and security from the edge to the core, announced today that StorMagic SvKMS has been certified as a Commvault third-party key management server solution, to provide joint customers with simple, centralized key management for Commvault encrypted backups. This integration enables the complete separation of the encryption lock and keys, a security best practice that delivers peace of mind to customers tasked with safeguarding sensitive digital assets.

“Most organizations manage multiple encryption workloads that require the encryption of many types of data, such as repositories and databases, which can add many layers of complexity and risk to data protection,” said Wenceslao Lada, vice president, technical alliances, Commvault. “SvKMS helps our customers centralize management of their encrypted workloads under a single unified key manager, adding efficiency and security to the entire key management lifecycle.”

Using SvKMS, customers can protect Commvault software encryption keys before storing the keys in Commvault’s CommServe® server databases. To integrate Commvault encrypted backups with SvKMS, users enable a third-party key management server within the Commvault management console, which allows for the storage and provisioning of encryption keys through StorMagic SvKMS.

“StorMagic is thrilled to partner with Commvault and enable our joint customers the ability to easily protect their backups – at the edge or in the cloud,” said Bruce Kornfeld, chief marketing and product officer at StorMagic. “StorMagic SvKMS key manager integrated with Commvault software makes it easy to encrypt all of an organization’s data and manage the keys from one pane of glass.”

New WORX 20V MakerX Rotary Tool and Airbrush Combo Kit Elevates Crafting Tool Design, Performance and Portability


Since the tools, themselves, don’t contain batteries, they are lighter weight, better balanced, leaner and more compact. The portable power hub also eliminates the need to be near an electrical outlet.

The WORX® 20V MakerX™ Rotary Tool and Airbrush Combo Kit brings a whole new, innovative approach to creative crafting tool design, precision handling and portability. Besides a compact rotary tool and airbrush, the kit includes a MakerX Hub, 20V Power Share battery, 45 accessories with case, charger and storage bag.

The rotary tool and airbrush crafter kit is part of the WORX MakerX system, which is centered around a MakerX Hub. Each compact tool in the system connects to the portable hub via a 4-ft. power cord. The hub is powered by a 20V, 1.5 Ah, Max Lithium, Power Share battery.

Since the tools, themselves, don’t contain batteries, they are lighter weight, better balanced, leaner and more compact than other models. Micro-ergonomic grips make the tools easier to handle and more comfortable, especially during extended use periods.

The portable hub also eliminates the need to be near an electrical outlet. Just pick up the kit and carry it to any work station or project location, indoors or out. The hub has an on/off switch and a variable-speed dial, from 5,000 to 35,000 rpm, depending on the tool that’s connected. The hub with a 20V, 1.5 Ah battery weighs 1.1 lbs.

The MakerX Rotary Tool’s applications encompass projects that call for cutting, drilling, detail sanding, polishing, engraving and etching. Examples include crafting, homeimprovement/repair, woodworking, home/holiday decor, sculpting, robotics, model-making, miniatures, dioramas, metalworking, jewelry making, and school/kids projects.

The rotary tool features a brushless motor for long life and smooth operation. Brushless motors run cooler and with less friction and vibration than conventional brushed motors.

The versatile rotary tool weighs only 0.29 lbs. It also is 20 percent slimmer than competing models and has a narrow pencil-like grip for handling projects with precision and control.

MakerX Rotary Tool accessories are not proprietary. The tool’s included 1/8 in. collet accepts other major brand accessories with 1/8 in. shanks, which are widely available at hardware stores and home centers. Other collet sizes, including 3/32, 1/16 and 1/32, also fit the tool.

The MakerX Air Brush is the only 20V airbrush on the market today. It’s ideal for light duty and intricate jobs, such as painting models, personalizing guitars and skate boards, crafts, murals, signage, cosmetics, and more. It’s also handy for removing dust from woodworking projects prior to painting or staining.

The compact and highly maneuverable airbrush weighs only 0.62 lbs. It features a dual-function trigger control that separates air flow and paint volume. This allows the user to go from a wide spray pattern to a fine line, or vice versa, in a single stroke. It also helps avoid initial splatter by introducing paint gradually.

Powered by the WORX 20V 1.5 Ah Max Lithium battery, the tool’s diaphragm pump generates 14 to18 psi air pressure and has a run-time up to 3 hours. Its 0.04 mm nozzle provides a good balance between fine detail and ample width of coverage.

The airbrush accepts a variety of water- based and acrylic paints, which are readily available at art supply and arts-and-crafts stores.

The MakerX, 20V, Max Lithium battery is compatible with more than 35 other WORX DIY and lawn and garden tools through the company’s Power Share platform.

The WORX MakerX Rotary Tool and Air Brush Combo Kit (WX992L, $149.99) is available at worx.com and Amazon. It is covered by the WORX three-year, limited warranty.

Camect Analytics Add to the Power of RE:SURE’s Advanced Security Monitoring Center


Prowler Detected by Camect and Mitigated by RE:SURE Monitoring Center

“Camect is a different level. We have been blown away by its performance – we are getting crisp, accurate alerts into the Control Centre and none of the old environmental false alerts. It’s exactly what we were waiting to appear on the market.”

AI (artificial intelligence) analytics are increasingly being adopted to identify important events captured in the massive amount of video data generated by security cameras. RE:SURE, a state of the art monitoring center based in Northern Ireland and serving the UK and Ireland markets, has deployed Camect’s powerful smart camera hub to many of their CCTV remote monitoring sites to address this need. Camect’s smart camera hubs analyze video in real time to detect and label moving objects including people, vehicles, and deliveries. RE:SURE’s 24-7 monitoring center, combined with Camect’s analytics, provides more accurate and responsive security monitoring for their clients’ homes and businesses.

RE:SURE, established in 2007, has developed a top tier monitoring service that focuses on proactive protection of end user properties. Their security operation center constantly reviews video data across their clients homes and businesses to look for activity by humans or vehicles that could represent a security risk. RE:SURE’s highly skilled experts divide up areas of interest and use Camect’s customizable object detection to maximize the protection and provide immediate notification of safety incidents.

The image attached is an example of a prowler detected by Camect at a site monitored by RE:SURE’s alarm center. The Camect detection immediately alerted the RE:SURE Control Center staff, who promptly issued an audio challenge to the intruder on the property, scaring him into fleeing before having the chance to do any real damage. RE:SURE was able to notify the client within seconds, ensuring a physical response was also immediate.

RE:SURE have been working in video analytics for almost a decade, always staying on top of the newest technology in order to act as a trusted advisor to all of their install partners located across the UK and Ireland. MD John MacMahon says:

“Rather than being a traditional ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre), we decided years ago to get a lot more proactive in terms of advising our install partners which systems work. All too often, distributors would say “yes, of course our system can accurately detect a person/vehicle”. Of course, more often than not this was not the case, and everyone suffers as a result.

Usually, the ARC staff becomes overwhelmed with false activations, cameras have to be suspended, and in essence the whole system breaks down as there ends up being blind spots everywhere. Even worse than that is the system wouldn’t detect at all. So we decided to find out for ourselves, as ultimately we are the ones that suffer the most day in, day out with bad systems. We have consequently been following this space very closely and watching it evolve over the last decade, seeing how the likes of Video IQ (now Avigilon) led the way, along with the likes of Davantis, Adpro and Bosch.

However Camect is a different level. We have been blown away by its performance – we are getting crisp, accurate alerts into the Control Centre and none of the old environmental false alerts. It’s exactly what we were waiting to appear on the market and the set up time from a technical perspective is also a massive advantage -it’s as close to plug and play as you can get. As we convince more and more installers to use this product, we are also convinced it’s going to have a significant impact on how well we can deliver our service, with operators knowing an alert from a Camect site is going to be real.”

Camect has an established track record of eliminating false alerts from objects that are not security risks (e.g. wind, rain, and bugs) and accurately detecting objects that do represent risks. Per Camect’s founder Arup Mukherjee:

“Supporting efficient monitoring center operations is a priority for Camect, and ties well with our focus on providing the most accurate video alerts in the market. The diligence that goes into RE:SURE’s premier monitoring service has made them an excellent partner for Camect. RE:SURE have long recognized the value that excellent and practical analytics provide, so they quickly recognized that Camect alerts allow them to hone in on activity that presents the highest risk to their clients. Combining Camect analytics with RE:SURE’s state of the art control center and top tier customer service brings a new level of protection to their customers.”

Camect and RE:SURE aim to continue to deploy analytics in the UK and Northern Ireland to speed up response time and ensure that clients and monitoring centers focus on the alerts that really matter. To learn more about RE:SURE and Camect please visit the following links.

The Future of Retail – 9 Key Technologies for Point of Sale


In 2021 and beyond, it will be crucial for brick and mortar stores to deliver a seamless multi-channel customer experience in-store. Retail technology will continue to play an instrumental role in digitizing the shopping experience and achieving deeper customer satisfaction. There is no doubt that retail stores will play a key role in meeting customer demand, when stores are finally allowed to reopen. Retail managers are already using the lockdown period to enhance their stores and equip them with innovative solutions of the future.

This whitepaper draws on eyefactive’s rich expertise in interactive digital signage to highlight 9 key technologies that retailers should be familiar with in 2021 and beyond.

A pioneer in this industry, eyefactive has helped dozens of retailers delight customers with memorable experiences across automotive, banking and insurance, beauty, food & beverage, electronics, home accessories, hospitality, oil and gas, medicine and technology.

In-store shopping is here to stay

Despite headlines about “retail apocalypse”, the majority of retail sales around the world (5 out of 6 transactions) still take place in stores. Several surveys confirm that shoppers are visiting stores more often than before and that in-store shopping is especially popular amongst the tech-savvy Generation Z (those under 25 years in age).

Customers expect a blended shopping experience

Shoppers flock to stores to experience the product – to see, feel and try it – before they purchase it. While they value this traditional aspect of the shopping experience, they also seek the digital shopping features they are attuned to. It has become second nature for customers to use their mobile phones in-store to search for price comparisons, discounts, promotions, ratings, video reviews and social media content. Tech-savvy customers also seek virtual experiences that allow them to visualize the product’s performance in real-life settings.

With growing competition from e-commerce and as pure online shops like Amazon enter the brick and mortar space, retailers are under tremendous pressure to innovate and digitize their customers’ experience. Retailers that successfully pivot to accommodate the new-age mobile-savvy consumer will find that technology can actually be a boon and not a bane for the retail industry.

Retailers are already seeing success with interactive digital signage

Retailers across a wide variety of industries have already begun to integrate retail technologies such as interactive shop windows, endless aisles, self-service kiosks, multi-user touchscreens, augmented reality, object recognition, product sensors (NFC/RFID), QR codes, mobile payments and facial recognition. The majority of retailers (80%) who have used digital signage have found that it is important or essential to improving customer’s in-store experience[6], and contributes to an uptick in sales.

Low Carbon Refrigeration Systems for Large Distribution Centres to be discussed at IMECHE Conference


Dr Dermot Cotter

There are a number of ways in which we can help large distribution centre operators to increase energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and cut carbon emissions.

Star Refrigeration is inviting cold chain customers to attend an online event focused on the critical challenge of achieving net-zero carbon and innovations in cooling technology.

‘Engineering an Efficient and Sustainable Cold Chain’ is a live online conference taking place on 2 March 2021. Hosted by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMECHE), the event will explore the challenges faced by the cold chain, alongside the latest innovations in refrigeration engineering.

The seminar programme features a presentation by Dr Dermot Cotter, Managing Director of Star Technical Solutions, Star’s engineering consultancy service. He will discuss modern low carbon refrigeration systems for large distribution centres.

Dr Dermot Cotter from Star Technical Solutions, said: “There are a number of ways in which we can help large distribution centre operators to increase energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and cut carbon emissions. For example, eliminating ambient air infiltration in a refrigerated warehouse will significantly reduce the cooling requirement on a traditional system.”

“Modern low carbon refrigeration systems for cold stores feature high efficiency components such as condensers, compressors and controls. These incorporate the latest refrigeration engineering technology to achieve the lowest operating cost. In addition, compact ammonia packaged plants have an optimised design to maximise energy efficient operation and minimise life cycle costs.”

According to IMECHE, the cold chain is responsible for around 2.5% of global greenhouse gas output. IMECHE is urging cold chain operators and engineers to find more efficient and sustainable ways to deliver cooling in response to the UK’s net-zero carbon target.
