March Networks has announced a significant advancement in its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a move aimed at reducing long-term video storage expenses by as much as 80% over five years.
This enhanced partnership leverages Amazon S3 Vectors and Amazon S3 Glacier, which together improve video intelligence capabilities and cloud storage solutions.
Enhancing Video Intelligence and Cloud Storage
Following discussions at AWS re:Invent 2025, March Networks is pushing forward with a strategy that combines rapid, scalable video search capabilities with affordable long-term video storage options.
By harnessing AWS technology, the organization aims to simplify the storage of extensive video archives, easing both financial and operational strains.
Reducing Costs and Operational Burdens
The use of AWS infrastructure has long been integral to March Networks’ secure and scalable solutions
The use of AWS infrastructure has long been integral to March Networks’ secure and scalable solutions. The current platform utilizes Amazon S3 Vectors for its AI Smart Search feature, allowing users to perform natural language searches over vast quantities of video data. In tandem, Amazon Glacier supports a tiered storage approach suited for large-scale, long-term video retention.
This integration is particularly beneficial for large, multi-site enterprises that face demanding video storage requirements. It enables quicker access to important video footage, all while reducing both costs and operational complexities associated with storage compliance and liability protection.
Meeting Video Retention Needs
"Our customers need simpler, more cost-effective ways to meet long-term video retention requirements without compromising security and compliance – and we've just solved that problem," said Peter Strom, President & CEO of March Networks.
"By combining Amazon S3 Vectors for rapid video intelligence with S3 Glacier for cost-effective long-term storage, our partnership with AWS delivers a cloud model that simplifies infrastructure, scales instantly, and lowers total cost of ownership."
Further Collaboration with AWS
This strengthened partnership with AWS offers several benefits, including:
- Accelerated video investigations using natural-language search powered by Amazon S3 Vectors.
- Up to 80% lower video storage costs over a five-year period utilizing Amazon S3 Glacier-backed tiered retention.
- High durability and resilience through AWS-managed infrastructure.
- Immediate scalability without the need for on-premises hardware.
- Flexibility for enterprises moving to the cloud at their own pace.
Additionally, this ongoing alliance supports March Networks' broader objectives, including the adoption of AWS analytics and Amazon Bedrock, which bolsters AI-driven services and creates robust reporting environments, thereby enhancing the value extracted from video data.
