Key Points
- Coraid EtherDrive is a perfect fit for video and network surveillance applications that require high performance, massive capacity, and easy management by teams with no storage training
- Starting at $500/TB, EtherDrive enables price-performance that enables longer storage windows and throughput-intensive analysis
Storage for video and network surveillance is a high-growth market. This is another industry equally sensitive to costs and high throughput rates – with just-in-time capacity growth options. In the rapid shift from analog to digital video, a huge market has been created seemingly overnight for solutions such as EtherDrive, with affordable, high-performance scale-out architectures. High-definition digital cameras are producing between 4 -5x the amount of data as standard cameras. (Example: 100 HD cameras can easily produce 300 TB per week, quickly moving into the petabyte range.) Administrators of these systems are seeking less expensive, highly scalable storage where trade-offs in retention times are not necessary just to accommodate budgets.
