One of the effective implementations of hyperconverged
infrastructure is for the video surveillance businesses. Hyperconverged
infrastructure can effectively enhance the performance and productivity of the
video surveillance data management and recording businesses. This article will
look into the ways in which HCI can benefit these systems.
Hyper converged cloud brings
together all the components of a video surveillance business in a unified
platform that offers a management layer which is common to all the components.
Another reason of using hyperconverged infrastructure for
surveillance systems is that it simplifies the management of the system to an
extent that the business does not require hiring IT expert staff for handling
the infrastructure.
Video Surveillance Is
Complex
Hyperconverged infrastructure
makes it easier, simpler and less complex to manage the three components of a
video surveillance system that are Cameras, a software called Video Management
Software (VMS) and storage. Cameras are used to take the images and make
videos, the software is used to manage and process the images and videos,
and lastly the storage is used to archive the data collected through the
cameras, and managed through the software.
Hyperconverged
Infrastructure Brings Simplicity
All of this is not as simple as it may look. The complex
processes involved needs to be simplified in order to enhance the productivity
and performance of the business. This simplification is offered by hyperconverged
infrastructure because it is the only system which is required to handle and
manage all the mentioned components of a video surveillance system. Unlike the
legacy systems where every function required a separate infrastructure to
perform it properly, hyperconverged infrastructure makes all the things to be
done effectively under one umbrella.
Hyperconverged
Infrastructure Offers Enough Storage Space
High resolution cameras generation data in the form of
images and videos which require large volumes of storage capacity to be
archived. It requires a data storage infrastructure which is flexible to
scalability and offering more and more storage capacity as needed.
HCI Does Not Require
Highly Skilled IT Experts
The increasing advancements in the technology is bringing
complex changes and upgradations in cameras and other components, make it
tougher for the security professionals of the video surveillance organization
to handle the data storage infrastructure. This is where Hyperconverged
infrastructure become effective as it is not at all a difficult infrastructure
to run, use and manage.
HCI Allows New
Applications To Run Swiftly
Hyperconverged
infrastructure also allows the business to leverage new applications by
providing support to all kinds of applications which might improve the
productivity and efficiency of the business. This is one of the most beneficial
use of hyperconverged infrastructure for video surveillance businesses.
The limited IT expertise and demand of modern changes in the
technology calls for new applications which are difficult or even impossible to
deploy in case of other data storage infrastructure on the contrary, hyperconverged
infrastructure provides maximum support to the modern applications.
Conclusion
Hyperconverged
infrastructure can be used effectively for the improvement of a video
surveillance business because it can offer simplicity, more scalability,
application support and other benefits which benefits the surveillance
systems a lot.
