Video Surveillance Solution with flexibility and vast growth

For the Texas Police Departments time and storage demands are crucial regarding their surveillance security camera data. They needed high quality and flexibility to fulfill the growing needs for security on various levels and types of video equipment with over a half PB (and later more than 1PB without delay or interruptions to grow). The solution proposed by Equus, Open-E and WatchGuard leverages the security, growth, virtualization and cost benefits. With this hardware combined with a professional storage software operating system, they could create a professional storage solution at a reasonable price. Handling the extensive data produced by all video surveillance devices is now taken care of with an Open-E JovianDSS Software Defined Storage solution that economically stores footage on the servers. Plus, storage space can be managed flexibly, adjusting to growing needs.

Aviation Accounting Center improves the processing and storage of geospatial data with Open-E JovianDSS

The data collected by Aviation Accounting Center (AAC), as well as the results of their processing, are unique and valuable. In their case, servers and data storage systems that guarantee flexibility, great performance and scalability by volume play an important role in the IT system of the company. Their actual great numbers of terabytes of geospatial data will soon be turned into even bigger amounts of data in a few years time. Because of that Entry, a Ukrainian manufacturer of servers and storage systems, suggested a software-defined solution (SDS) in a High Availability Load-balanced Storage Cluster setup with Open-E JovianDSS. Physically, it is a cluster built of two servers and a JBOD with a shared direct access.

Test equipment specialist integrates Software Defined Storage solution with
Open-E

COMPRION has already been using a Software Defined Storage solution in their environment. Their solution was built of approx. 100 virtual machines based on three pools, but such a setup with the currently installed Storage Management Software caused massive downtimes as the combination of hardware and software turned out to be not compatible. COMPRION started to look for a new solution and approached Open-E Partner Boston Server & Storage Solutions from Germany, who recommended Open-E JovianDSS. With the new storage solution, the company was able to gain more capacity, improve performance and reduce the latency. Additionally, capacity was saved due to a new setup with two pools instead of the previous three, plus the protocol was switched from NFS to iSCSI which also increased the performance of the system.
