BCDVideo Releases High-density SAN for Video Storage

  • Mar 20, 2015

BCDVideo announced the latest technology enhancement to their video storage portfolio with the release of their NetApp-based SuperNova Series of high-redundancy SAN Storage.

"BCDVideo can now deliver an Enterprise SAN storage solution that is simple to deploy and easy to maintain," said Tom Larson, director of sales & engineering at BCDVideo. "Until now, the surveillance market has yet to see a product available that can provide higher scalability, greater reliability, and better fault tolerance than the SuperNova series can provide, all at a reasonable cost."

Enterprise systems have always been a daunting task due to the growing data requirements beginning to emerge in the storage field. The cost and maintenance of storage solutions can be expensive, especially when setting up a storage solution for a large scale operation. BCDVideo simplifies this task by offering the complete server, LAN, and SAN package to the integrator. BCDVideo's tested SAN solution lowers the cost of ownership in what was a heavy cost-laden marketplace.

BCDVideo's solution is to offer a system with a configurable architecture that is flexible with any storage need. The SuperNova Series offers a high-density (4U) SAN storage system can be scaled modularly to eliminate concerns with ever-growing data and speed. For example, the BCD2760 allows the user to scale out from 40TB all the way to 100PB, so the ability to add cameras, and even days/years of retention is never an issue. The unique Dynamic Disk pooling feature, with eight times the restore rate over RAID 6, will allow even greater security protection and retention on the chance of a hard drive failure.

The entire solution is covered by a 5-year global next business day on-site warranty, ensuring the integrator's investment with professional, trained service available all over the world.

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
