90 - Day Storage Expansion at Airports

2020-08-07

Background Introduction

     


Managing video surveillance systems is becoming increasingly difficult. The problem lies in the fact that traditional IT storage solutions struggle to cope with the rapidly increasing storage demands. Therefore, choosing the right storage solution is crucial, as video surveillance systems pose many unique storage challenges.


How to reduce storage costs when data needs to be retained for a longer period?

How to store data at a reasonable cost while still being able to retrieve it quickly?

How to ensure data protection without incurring a large amount of redundant costs?


 


Video Archiving Service


ZhongShengYiHua's Video Archiving Service (CSVision Archiving Service, CAS) can move the recordings of video surveillance systems between different locations and different types of storage media. CAS is fully compatible with the video systems of mainstream security manufacturers and the storage systems of mainstream cloud service providers. It can perform operations or filtering on video recordings according to the user - set migration plan or different conditions (including alarm/access control events, AI analysis events, specific data, etc.), and move the qualified recording segments to storage media at different locations or security levels, realizing the global lifecycle management of video storage. Based on ZhongShengYiHua's Video Archiving Service CAS, the video recording system of video surveillance can achieve the following:

● Flexibly select and match storage media, taking into account both performance and cost.

● Be natively compatible with the integration of local storage and cloud storage, and seamlessly extend the storage period.

● Flexibly adapt to the value and cycle of video data, realizing hot - cold/remote storage and cloud archiving storage.

Support secondary operations and filtering on video recordings based on events, realizing the exchange of computing power for storage space.

 

90 - Day Recording Expansion Plan for Airports


Currently, the video surveillance storage systems of airports across the country are facing expansion and renovation, and it is necessary to smoothly expand the existing 30 - day storage to 90 - day storage. Taking a certain airport with 5000 cameras of 1080P 4Mbps video as an example, the additional storage capacity required is approximately 13 PB. Issues such as the expansion of storage leading to problems with 机房 space and energy consumption in the computer room, and the operation and maintenance of a video storage system of dozens of PBs have become problems that must be carefully considered in the design of the 90 - day storage plan for airports.
