Video Management Servers Co. (VMS Co.) has unveiled MOSS, a Managed On Site Server subscription which brings customers a recurring revenue opportunity from server sales.

MOSS servers are deployed on site but owned, managed, maintained, and warrantied by VMS Co, for up to 10 years, with ‘next-business-day’, field engineer support as standard.

VMS Co states that MOSS provides a recurring revenue stream opportunity, but also allows integrators to offer complete VMS-based CCTV systems on subscription, when sold with video management software rental licenses, a rapidly growing market.

“VMS Co.’s MOSS subscription is a recurring revenue stream opportunity for customers selling our market-leading, video management server hardware,” Nick Bowden, Director of VMS Co., said. “The subscription is classed as a maintenance fee and an operational expenditure. If sold with rental VMS software, it means the entire VMS system can be a subscription, just like cloud.

“MOSS brings the ‘managed server’ benefits of cloud to site, including flexibility to offer mid-term server upgrades as systems expand and end-of-life server replacement options as warranties expire. These are implemented by our field engineers and simply not possible with purchase or lease options.

“Dependence on unreliable broadband or WAN networks is removed with MOSS and video streaming, storage and broadband costs are far lower than cloud.”
