Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Video Surveillance
Unified compute and storage for video surveillance recording, video analytics, and other physical security applications
Replace Racks of Inefficient NVRs with a Modern Unified Compute and Storage Platform
The growing number of cameras and the increasing resolution of video data are putting pressure on the traditional video recording infrastructure, which is typically comprised of racks of dedicated network video recording (NVR) servers. This infrastructure approach is complex to manage at scale, and is more susceptible to downtime, data loss, and poor performance.
Quantum offers a solution with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) for mission-critical video surveillance recording and analytics. Hyperconverged infrastructure combines compute and storage resources into a single platform that is resilient, scalable, and easy to manage. You can replace racks of inefficient dedicated servers with a single hyperconverged platform for video recording, analytics, and other physical security applications.
Quantum HCI features patented video data reduction techniques to record thousands of video streams simultaneously at maximum uptime with fewer servers required, reducing risk of hardware failure and data center footprint by up to 80%. This results in a much simpler video surveillance storage infrastructure with a smaller data center footprint, reduced operational costs, and a reduced risk of data loss.
