Unified Surveillance Platform
A resilient, flexible, and secure infrastructure for physical security applications using your choice of hardware.
Video Surveillance and Security Depends on a Solid Foundation
Organizations are looking for ways to simplify their physical security environment while lowering costs, reducing security risks, and ensuring flexibility for future growth. The Quantum Unified Surveillance Platform (USP) provides a resilient, flexible, and secure platform for capturing, storing, and managing mission-critical video and hosting other physical security applications, such as access control, visitor management, or security dashboards.
A Software Platform Ideally Suited to Enhance Video Surveillance and Security
The Unified Surveillance Platform is software that runs on your industry standard server of choice to create a unified server, storage and networking infrastructure optimized to handle the unique characteristics of video workloads. The storage, compute, and bandwidth resources of multiple servers equipped with the USP software are combined and managed as a single, unified system from an intuitive management console.

Featured Benefits
Flexibility to Use Your Server of Choice
Quantum Unified Surveillance Platform brings a completely hardware-agnostic approach to your video surveillance infrastructure. Build and scale your infrastructure with any new or existing standard x86 servers. Subscription-based software offers financial flexibility and operational agility.
Advanced Digital Security
Your video and other data is protected from unauthorized access, spread of malware attacks, and other threats with built-in four-layer security that brings datacenter grade security technology to your physical security infrastructure.
Always-On, Always Available Video
Be confident that video is always being captured and accessible with advanced system-wide resiliency, which withstand complete server failures and multiple disk drive failures without loss of data or system shutdown.
Preserve Video Integrity
Eliminate the risk of frame loss and degraded video and ensure optimum video recording, playback, and viewing with software that is designed to sustain high write performance under high-channel count scenarios and prioritize recent and frequently accessed VMS data for instant playback of critical video.
