DE Series for Video Surveillance Best Practices Guide
The Lenovo DE Series is a reliable, affordable storage solution that is ideal for video surveillance. Check out this best practices guide for practical considerations that will help you choose the right storage solution.
What are the benefits of using Lenovo DE Series for video surveillance?
Lenovo DE Series storage offers several benefits for video surveillance, including easy management and monitoring through the ThinkSystem System Manager software, high availability with dual controllers, excellent price-to-performance ratio, and scalability that allows for easy expansion of storage capacity. Additionally, it provides proactive drive health monitoring and supports various RAID levels for data protection.
How do I size storage for a video surveillance system?
When sizing storage for a video surveillance system, consider factors such as the number and type of cameras, their resolution, frame rate, compression type, and the desired retention period for recorded footage. For example, a group of 25 cameras at 1920x1080 resolution with H.264 compression recording 24 hours a day for 30 days would require approximately 23.01 TiB of storage.
What components are included in a typical video surveillance solution?
A typical video surveillance solution includes several key components: IP cameras for capturing video, a management server for configuring the system, recording servers for storing and playing back video, optional failover servers for redundancy, viewing clients for accessing the footage, and a storage network to facilitate communication between these elements. Lenovo DE Series storage arrays serve as the backbone for storing video data.
