As a complementary component of the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server solution, the Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System provides flexible options for storing video and audio using cost-effective, IT-caliber storage devices.
The Storage System allows the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server's internal storage to be combined with direct attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS), and storage area networks (SANs). As a result, video can be efficiently secured and accessed wherever it is needed, either locally or in a remote location. Video can be stored in loops, one-time archives, or event clips triggered by alarm systems to maximize storage utilization.
The Storage System enables operations managers to institute video lifecycle management rules to ensure availability of the data. Video can be stored in redundant systems or in remote long-term archives to ensure the video is available when required. Through the scalable Cisco video storage architecture, storage can be expanded as your system requirements grow.
