NetApp, a data authority for hybrid cloud, and Bosch Building Technologies, an expert for security, safety and communication solutions, have announced the details of their joint high-performance security solution
The Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) uses real-time data, AI and IoT power to build a safer, more secure world.
This is achieved by integrating NetApp Hybrid Flash Arrays with the Bosch Video Recording Manager (VRM) for a revolutionary concept of storage virtualisation. The NetApp operating system is writing different data streams directly from the camera to the storage in a compact format and with high storage density.
The result: video streams and storage capacity are ideally balanced and are backed-up in such a way that the processes continue to run even if there is a hard disk failure. Moreover, the system allows for the highest scalability.
Bernhard Schuster, executive vice-president sales and marketing at Building Technologies, “We work with NetApp because they are the data authority. NetApp offers the technologies that ensure that our systems are up and running and makes managing large data volumes easy with maximum reliability while lowering costs.”
“Our video systems process image data in real-time. Sharing the information with your security and other enterprise systems, such as warehouse or manufacturing, is key for improving security and reducing costs,” Schuster added.
The VRM can automatically balance video streams and storage capacity ideally, and back it up in such a way that the processes continue to run even in the event of a hard disk failure. The solution includes the following features:
-Robust technology in a compact format and high-storage density on 12TB disks.
-High integration for low complexity and maximum availability enables mapping of highly specific workloads.
-High availability of data as two camera streams are recorded simultaneously in different recording qualities and sent to physically separated locations.
-High scalability thanks to an entry-level range of complex environments with 200 cameras. There is virtually no limit to the number of cameras that can be mounted on top, as additional storage space can be added via BVMS.
Alexander Wallner, senior vice-president and general manager EMEA, NetApp, commented, “We are excited that NetApp technology is helping Bosch to achieve its data-driven vision of security. By leveraging NetApp technology, Bosch Video Recording Manager solution is further enhanced, resulting in a high-performance, flexible, scalable and reliable storage management solution for IP network video recording.”
