BCDVideo Accelerator

The BCDVideo Accelerator (BVA) is a state-of-the-art storage accelerator for Milestone Appliances. With video grade hardware, the BVA significantly increases storage scalability, performance, and reliability.

NAS

If you need a new IP video storage solution, NAS systems are an excellent choice. Data integrity is crucial as the volume of information increases with more users and content added to networks daily. NAS systems store data but ensure it is continuously available for employees whenever they need to access information and collaborate with each other. NAS can store unstructured data like spreadsheets, images, documents, videos and other media files.

There are two types of approaches to NAS systems: scale-out and scale-up.

  • Scale-out: The main focus of scale-out NAS systems is ensuring enough space to maintain and archive an expansive amount of data to keep up with data growth in workplaces. Scale-out storage systems have a large capacity to hold data because they use a group of servers to form clustered storage arrays.
  • Scale-up: NAS systems with a scale-up approach also store data, but their storage capacities are less extensive than scale-out. Scale-up storage systems are more traditional, using many drives on multiple shelves for enough storage.

When you need dependable video recording storage, the BCD480-NAS system is suitable. It can store and safeguard data due to its scale-out approach with high-density and deep archive storage.

SAN Storage

When users store large volumes of video, a storage system that protects their data is essential. SAN storage arrays have long-term retention capabilities to keep crucial video data in storage. They use various storage devices to connect to multiple servers so users can store and use data on them, making it easier to organize and access the data more efficiently.

SAN storage is an excellent solution when a centralized storage location is preferable for end-users. With SAN, the data can be protected and managed in one primary area, leading to better performance for those accessing the servers and data in storage. Many companies use these systems because they are specifically made to house large amounts of video data.

Video Storage Accelerator

Your video storage systems must have a solution for optimizing the storage’s reliability, performance and scalability. A video accelerator takes control of the storage system by implementing innovative algorithms and techniques to enhance how fast data gets stored and retrieved from the storage devices you’re using, whether they are NAS, SAN or another type.

Experience higher throughput capabilities and bandwidth with storage accelerators from BCD. Storage accelerators help you leverage each system’s total storage, ensuring proper data and server security. Optimizing video storage processes also helps reduce the initial costs of the newly implemented hardware and operating costs.

Your storage accelerator can give you the full functionality of security deployments while using fewer servers. Additionally, archiving videos is more manageable because the accelerator’s bandwidth configuration can standardize the process without affecting the database’s performance.
