That's because the long-term storage tiers grow as retention policies change and new applications for video data are uncovered, even if the ingest require- ments remain consistent. Another benefit of a multi-tier storage design is that it's scalable. You can start small and increase storage capacity over time by adding more nodes to your configuration without disrupt- ing the system. For example, you could start with a 100-camera, 500 TB system and scale it to a 1,000 camera, 8 PB system without any major disruption to your opera- tion, utilizing a consistent set of components. Accessibility is also a key factor. Security professionals want to be able to find the video they need, no matter what day of retention it is, hopefully without resorting to another application or their IT department. By utilizing the right type of file system to create a tiered infrastructure the benefit of working in the timeline is real- ized as one doesn't need to leave the VMS application to retrieve footage, no matter if it is on disk, tape, or stored in the cloud. Storage Represents a Strategic Opportunity Before a video surveillance system is implemented, a lot of decisions must be made. How many cam- eras will be needed? Where will they be installed? What specifi- cations are required? What are the connectivity and bandwidth requirements? There are many others, of course. But perhaps the most important decision is where to store the footage. End users are faced with a growing storage challenge. And not just with video surveillance data. According to the ESG sur- vey, 47 percent of respondents said unstructured data makes up more than half of their total capacity, and 46 percent said their unstructured data is growing more than 20 percent every year. The challenge to the end user is two-fold, not only how to structure a viable storage solution, but how to address the larger challenge of managing the growing volume of unstructured data. Having a well thought out technol- ogy roadmap for your video strategy in addition to having a trusted integrator partner to plan, implement and service the system once it is installed will ensure a successful and cost-effective project.
