Description
The demands of surveillance applications place unique strains on storage subsystems. Storage systems require the bandwidth and capacity to keep up with incoming streams. They must also simultaneously manage all other common disk and RAID functions. In addition, physical security applications are almost always mission critical. Any downtime, degraded performance for routine maintenance or loss of recorded footage is extremely disruptive to the organization’s physical security mission. It improves the total cost of ownership and energy efficiency by consolidating disparate components into a single chassis. The 400 Mbps throughput provides double the improvement over Pelco’s first generation integrated recorder, allowing users to service far more data streams in one storage unit than previously possible. In addition, with the integration of the storage controller functionality into the storage chassis, cost, and energy efficiency is optimized by eliminating the cost of additional servers and the associated heating, ventilation, and cooling costs. Finally, the use of lower power components and adaptive cooling inside the chassis manage power dissipation based on load requirements.
Features
