Part III: Optimizing Video Data Storage in a Virtualized Environment – Scaling Local Resources

One of the factors that limits the overall performance of any IP video surveillance solution is how effectively software can utilize hardware resources. Traditionally, an application such as video management software or access control requires a dedicated server, which typically does not use more than 20 percent of available hardware resources. This leads to an investment in hardware that won’t be utilized throughout the life of a deployment.

Part II: Optimizing Video Data Storage in a Virtualized Environment – Reducing Latency

As virtualized storage solutions become more prevalent, ensuring efficient data management is critical. Virtualization often brings with it complexity and overhead that result in latency, which can negatively affect performance. When solutions are virtualized, data that is written/read from the disk interacts with both the physical and virtual hardware, and each hop that data makes before it reaches its destination increases the overall latency.

Optimizing Video Data Storage in a Virtualized Environment – Intro to SCRIBE

BCDVideo’s Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Video Surveillance (HCI-VS), powered by Scale Computing, utilizes the Scale Computing Reliable Independent Block Engine (SCRIBE) embedded in each node to manage all storage as one logical pool. The real benefits of SCRIBE come from the intelligent distribution of blocks redundantly across the cluster to maximize availability and performance for each virtual machine.

Simplifying The Path To Success

Advances In Infrastructure That Reduce Complexity: As BCDVideo closes out another expo attending ISC West 2019, one theme resonated throughout the show.

Comparing Tape And Cloud Storage For Long-Term Data Preservation

With the retention life of data increasing, many organizations are trying to determine the best long-term storage strategy for the future. To do this, organizations must analyze the reliability, security and speed of data storage solutions, including both cloud and tape storage. This white paper considers how a hybrid archive solution, consisting of both cloud and tape, may be deployed in the event of a cloud mandate, and how data growth and future costs can impact a storage solution selection.

Iron Mountain vs Amazon Glacier

This paper is designed to examine the true cost of storing data in the AWS Glacier Cloud versus in an Iron Mountain Storage Facility. To source data for this paper, we used Spectra Logic as a “real-world” example (Spectra uses both Amazon and Iron Mountain), and obtained actual quotes from both vendors. To allow users to make calculations and decisions based on their own data sets, we start by looking at the cost of storing 6TB of data (a single LTO-7 tape) using Amazon Glacier versus Iron Mountain.
