Equus Compute Solutions to Highlight Advanced Scalable Video Surveillance Storage Solutions

Equus Compute Solutions showcased its advanced scalable video surveillance High Density Storage Server Solutions at International Security Conference & Exposition (ISC West), which was held April 4-7, 2017 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV. Attendees visited Booth 18132 to see the actual server and storage chassis that are ideal for supporting the advanced data storage requirements for today’s in-vehicle and body-worn cameras. Experts discussed how Equus can provide custom, flexible, and scalable configurations for these applications at the lowest possible cost.

Equus Compute Systems has recently expanded, now offering solutions for software defined infrastructures: storage, virtualization and management. Equus offers a level of customization options for these solutions that is unavailable from larger vendors. Equus optimizes life-cycle costs by training customers on how to support systems using in-house resources rather than costly outside vendors.

In the security arena, Equus partners with WatchGuard Video and Open-E in a solution that meets the time and storage demands vital for law enforcement agencies’ surveillance security camera data. WatchGuard Video, the world’s largest manufacturer of law enforcement video systems, supplies in-car and body-worn cameras along with evidence management software. Open-E provides the IP-based storage management software for data backup and storage. The cost-optimized Equus high-density storage servers (HDSS) enables law enforcement agencies to run video surveillance without delay or interruptions 24/7/365.

With the Equus/Open-E/WatchGuard solution, users are not locked into proprietary storage platforms that cannot be easily expanded or upgraded. The combination of custom hardware and a robust storage software operating system means security agencies can create a professional storage solution for a reasonable price – without sacrificing quality or performance. Watchguard Video has deployed its solutions to more than a thousand police departments across the nation.

Visitors who dropped by Booth 18132 to saw a unique, cost effective and compact 130TB storage solution, only 3.5 inches high and 25 inches deep. This 2U storage chassis will be customized to provide what you need now and nothing more – while still enabling future growth.
