The demand for video security is fueled by increased regulations as well as the desire for increased security measures. Fortunately, technologies such as IP Storage Area Networks (SANs), storage based on the industry standard iSCSI protocol, have surfaced to meet the stringent demands of video security consumers. The iStor IP SAN storage solutions are particularly well suited for the IP Surveillance market. In addition to being extremely easy to use, the iStor solution offers unparalleled performance, enterprise system reliability, including drive reliability features unique to iStor, and is extremely cost effective. IP surveillance systems require storage solutions that can stand up to the demands of high duty cycles and intensive random writes while being available 24 hours a day. The iStor IP SAN storage solutions excel in this environment. |

Performance
Increased camera counts as well as the increasing popularity of higher resolution cameras continue to add strain to traditional surveillance systems. iStor's 10GbE system architecture is designed to handle the most demanding applications including multiple streams of HD video. Regardless of your choice of 4x1GbE, 8x1GbE or 10Gbe host port configurations, all of our controllers take advantage of this 10GbE iSCSI architecture. Our patented RAID Mirroring Technology guarantees optimal performance by mirroring data between a pair of controllers at 10GbE data rates, resulting in full bandwidth data writes in all conditions.
-
1160 Mbytes/sec of data throughput for transferring multiple streams of video data
-
Patented RAID Mirroring technology maintains full data streaming capability while maintaining guaranteed uptime in event of component failures
-
Available in 4x1GbE, 8x1GbE or 10Gbe host port configurations to satisfy the requirements of any surveillance solution
Reliability
Mission critical surveillance systems need to operate 24/7 even in the event of component failures. iStor's storage is designed to meet the tough standards of Enterprise environments, protecting you from the failure of any component, including the disk drive. iStor's Virtual Technology improves system reliability while taking advantage of cost effective SATA drives.
- Single or dual controller models
- SMART drive monitoring warns of potential drive failures
- E-mail notification of system alerts
- Down Drive feature migrates data off of drive prior to failure, allowing for drive replacement
- Virtual Volume Technology spreads rebuilds across multiple drives, expediting the rebuild process in the event of a drive failure
- Dual controllers provides complete system redundancy and maintain seamless operation even in the event of a component failure
Ease of Use
Focus on what is important to you - security - and stop worrying about how to manage the storage. iStor's Virtual Storage Technology is designed to simplify management by removing the constraints of physical to logical mapping of storage.
-
Simple set up and configuration
-
Expand storage in minutes as needs grow in future
-
Virtual Technology eliminates need for storage expertise
-
Extensible user interface allows management via Security Applications
-
Manage multiple systems from one computer
-
Global or Virtual pool redundancy
Affordability
iStor systems are inexpensive to buy, inexpensive to own and inexpensive to grow.
- Multiple configurations to fit your budget and surveillance needs
- Requires less time managing your storage on a regular basis than traditional storage systems
- Expand easily as your needs grow. Add disk drives of any size and the total capacity of the disk drive is automatically added to the storage pool and available to all volumes
- Scales cost effectively to 84 drives with the need for additional RAID controllers.
- Green Solution controller saves enough power to run the disk drives for free
