Cloudian Certifies with Milestone to Cut Video Surveillance Costs and Boost Data Retention

December 9, 2018
Share

Cloudian has announced certification of its enterprise storage with XProtect video management software (VMS) from Milestone Systems, the world’s leading provider of open platform IP VMS. Milestone users can now employ Cloudian’s exabyte-scalable object storage platform to accommodate growing data volumes and meet retention requirements at up to 70 percent less cost than traditional storage.

Video surveillance users in both the public and private sectors are challenged with rising storage costs and complexity, which are driven by more cameras, higher image resolution and frame rates, and longer retention requirements due to regulatory compliance. Adding to the challenge, video data is often generated at multiple points within the physical infrastructure but must be instantly accessible at a centralized location for review and analysis.

Cloudian addresses these needs by integrating seamlessly with Milestone’s VMS to provide a limitlessly scalable platform that can span multiple physical sites within a central storage environment. Delivering the industry’s highest storage density, Cloudian reduces total cost of ownership by up to 70 percent when compared to Tier 1 NAS and up to 47 percent when compared with tape, thereby allowing security managers to meet growing retention requirements within existing budget and space constraints. A Cloudian system can store more than 9,000 days of 30 fps, 4K media in just 12U of rack height. The system’s embedded metadata features also facilitate rapid media search and instant retrieval.

Video surveillance requires more from storage, especially as AI-based media analysis technologies demand rapid access and embedded metadata enrichment capabilities. With the Cloudian certification, Milestone customers now have another innovative option to meet these needs with a scale-out platform built on technologies derived from the cloud. – Jeremy Scott, Strategic Alliances Program Manager – Americas, Milestone Systems

Cloudian systems are based on industry-standard servers, ensuring cost-effective solutions that employ the most up-to-date, highest-density server and storage technologies. The modular design enables users to scale capacity up to an exabyte or more without system downtime. A single platform can also span multiple geographies for simple, single-point management across all sites.

Security managers today contend with unprecedented storage challenges as they move to ever-greater video resolutions and as demands for longer retention and rapid media search increase. Cloudian helps them overcome these challenges with a scale-out platform that can span multiple geographies. Customers can also store more data and make it instantly accessible at a significantly lower cost than traditional NAS. – Sanjay Jagad, Senior Director of Products & Solutions, Cloudian

Artificial Intelligence is the next evolution of video analytics, but instead of building algorithms around something that we’re looking at, we’re building systems that actually learn what’s happening, on the fly.

Trust in technology is a pressing issue of our time.

Milestone is driven to see one another in our community succeed. We cannot develop new innovations in a vacuum. The best understand it takes more than just one company alone. Those who share the same mission can collaborate. Instead of making one small step for mankind, together we can take many small steps for a bigger leap!

Mike Sherwood Dir. Technical Services, Milestone

What most customers are looking for is interoperability; openness to work with multiple cameras; switches; servers; integration with access control and other third-party products; and to do all of that reliably. It allows the customer to feel like they aren’t being cornered, they aren’t being put into a proprietary-type situation that they might regret later.

Brent Edmunds President and Co-Founder, Stone Security

While the total solution should be the focus of any installation, there is risk in deploying a complete end-to-end solution from a single manufacturer as you may not be leveraging the best technology for each functional requirement. In addition, tackling a full solution as a single project adds complexity and introduces installation challenges which can ultimately lead to issues with customer satisfaction.

The Internet has been one of the most important inventions of modern life and has provided a foundation for innovations that we now rely on. Interestingly, this level of reliance on the Internet has only come about within the last 10 years with the introduction of the full screen smart phone. Indeed, standards can move slowly, even once they have seen full adoption it still takes time for innovation. But once innovation starts, it is exponential in growth, and to support this growth you must have a solid foundational standard.
