Video surveillance market
The global video surveillance market is expected to record high growth over the next several years as organisations and municipalities collect and save petabytes of video footage to enhance public safety, prevent crime and terrorism, thwart theft, mitigate corruption and capture evidence of criminal behavior for legal purposes.
Organisations are also using video surveillance assets to enhance business processes and identify new opportunities. This growth in video surveillance has accelerated the need for efficient, high-capacity storage of raw video content.
In addition, growth in media and entertainment content has compelled organisations with hundreds of thousands of hours of digital video, audio and images to optimise their workflows with storage infrastructures designed for simple retrieval and long-term content repurposing.
Addressing the requirement
Organisations use video surveillance assets to enhance business processes and identify new opportunities
To address these requirements, the new joint storage solution from StorMagic and Spectra Logic combines StorMagic ARQvault software’s ability to move data automatically to Spectra BlackPearl NAS and Spectra Tape Libraries for nearline and long-term storage and facilitates the fast retrieval of video footage and digital assets when it must be recalled.
The simple, scalable solution enables organisations of all sizes with huge digital storage requirements to modernize their security and storage infrastructures for preservation and usage.
