This is 15fps surveillance video. It will be used as storage for 85
cameras. At 4k image sizes for 85 cams it will hold 3 months of
video. The optical juke will backup and offline store 16 months.

PH: 716-633-8346There are several vendors who specialize in storage for
video. What type of "video" do you mean? Broadcast? Production or
post-production? Internet streaming? The best choice depends on what the
application is. In some case a general SAN array will do. in others you
need something special such as those sold by SGI, DataDirect, certain
HDS models, etc.

I am looking for a SAN/NAS unit for video storage. The unit must have
a capacity of 50TB. Also looking for an optical autoloader for
offline storage and backup of the SAN unit. It's capacity must be at
least 250TB.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!


SGI offer SAN/NAS/DLM solutions for large capacity storage and data
migration, and have a lot of experience dealing with media serving.
