Why Enterprises Should Switch to IPSAN-Based Architecture

In the fast-paced world of law enforcement, the ability to swiftly gather and analyze video evidence is crucial. High-definition surveillance systems equipped with intelligent video analytics provide constant monitoring, enabling security personnel to respond effectively to incidents. However, the quality of video footage plays a significant role in its admissibility as evidence. Low-quality footage or recording gaps can lead to inconclusive results, undermining the purpose of investing in surveillance technology.

Challenges with Traditional NVR Systems

Network Video Recorder (NVR) systems are popular for smaller surveillance deployments, but they come with inherent limitations. Originally designed for IT data processing, NVRs struggle with the continuous data streams generated by video surveillance, leading to dropped frames and recording gaps. Their architecture lacks scalability, making it difficult to adapt to evolving needs such as increased camera counts or higher resolution recordings.

As enterprises expand their surveillance systems, the inability of NVRs to handle the required write-heavy workloads becomes evident. This inefficiency calls for a new approach—one that is optimized for video traffic.

The Solution: IPSAN-Based Architecture

Switching to an IPSAN (Internet Protocol Storage Area Network)-based architecture can address these challenges. This innovative design separates computing and storage, allowing users to scale each independently. Rasilient Systems provides advanced storage solutions that leverage IPSAN architecture to enhance video surveillance capabilities.
