Hundreds of Terabytes of Storage? How can it be?
What we do is really fairly straight forward - We start with the
enclosure because it will determine everything else that will follow.
 |
We use MULTIPLE 9U Rack Enclosures. Each
one is Heavy, very nearly 100 Lbs with NOTHING in it. The box
has plenty of room inside for a full blown computer system with
all the horsepower we can give it. We put in two power supplies
so if one fails, the other keeps the system running. We load it
up with lots of RAM which is the real KEY to making the system
perform, a High Performance Processor and an overkill Video Card
to make SURE what you want is what you see. The issue here is
pretty simple...EVERYTHING in the system HAS to be TOP OF THE
LINE. If you have a fast processor with a slow Motherboard
(FSB), you kill the performance. The Entire system is only as
fast as the SLOWEST component....so there can't be any slow
components. Overkill is the order of the day. TRIPLE REDUNDANT
Power Supplies are standard. |
Next comes the storage. Each
Enclosure has 50 Hot Swap Bays for Hard Drives and Two Hard Mount
Locations. Today we can put 2.0 Terabyte Hard Drives (SATA - 300) in
there...up to 100 of them in each of the boxes These drives are SATA
Drives with 16 Mb of cache on each one. Additionally, we can add two
more hard drives in a hard mount. That gives us
up to 200 TB of Storage. As hard drive sizes continue to
grow, our storage capability increases. What was literally out of reach
for many organizations just a year or so ago, is easy to attain today.
We also have 8 Drive, 12 Drive, 16 Drive & 24 Drive Enclosures
available.
Next, using the H.274 NVR Software, multiple DVR's can appear as ONE on
ONE Screen and let's you manage and administrate the systems as if they
were actually ONE DVR.
Now Available w/
50 GB Blue-Ray Backup!
Now we can connect any size monitor
to the system, add a keyboard and a mouse and we're operational. Hook up
your cameras, start up Windows XP PRO, load the DVR Software and we're
watching 64 video screens on one monitor. Click a screen and blow the
camera up to full screen, playback video, whatever you wish.

Once you've attached the DVR to the
Internet or a LAN, you can easily watch these cameras from any remote
location using the WAN or the Internet. Via the Internet you can use the
included Secure Client Software or a simple Web Browser - Your choice.
You can choose to allow viewers to watch the cameras you want them to
see, control their access, whatever you wish. You can sit on the beach
in the Bahamas with a wireless laptop, and watch your place of business.
The System comes with a DVD Burner for Backup, or
you can offload to your network, a USB or Firewire Device, or choose one
or more of your onboard Hard Drives for this purpose. You can even use
an offsite video storage farm or array. We build these as well.
Using the included Remote Manager, you can stack
these systems and watch 256 Cameras from one location. Central
Monitoring at it's very best!
It's really pretty simple. Everyone TRIES to make it Rocket Science, but
it's not. Let us help you build one.
