exacqVision and iSCSI Network Storage
iSCSI is a remote network storage solution used by many exacqVision customers. iSCSI, which is a Storage Area Network (SAN) protocol, allows users to consolidate storage using existing data center storage systems. iSCSI requires no dedicated cabling; it utilizes existing network cabling and infrastructure, and as such is highly cost effective.
All exacqVision servers - Hybrid, IP and third-party - can write to iSCSI storage units. Due to the increasing popularity of this storage solution with our customer base, we recently made an addition to our exacqVision server lineup that is specifically designed for use with external iSCSI storage.
The exacqVision iSCSI IP Camera Server comes in our standard 2U rackmount chassis, and is built with redundancy and iSCSI external storage in mind. Features include:
- Dual, removable 160GB enterprise-class hard drives in RAID-1 configuration for the OS and VMS application
- Removable power supply
- Dual redundant gigabit network cards
- Windows or Linux OS
- Up to 64 IP cameras per server
- Cost-effective system uses local storage for OS and VMS app only, and iSCSI for video storage
Ordering Info - The exacqVision iSCSI IP Server part number is: IPS-iSCSI-R2-RAID
(Windows comes standard, or add ‘-L’ for Linux)
iSCSI Vendors - We have tested exacqVision IP Video Surveillance software with iSCSI storage solutions from a number of vendors, including Pivot3, JetStor, DNF Storage, Intransa, and Nexsan.
iSCSI Demo - Our exacqVision storage guru and product manager Robert Ansell put together this brief demo of using iSCSI storage with the new exacqVision iSCSI IP Camera Server:
Our thanks to Pivot3 for the use of their High-Definition Storage™ systems used in this video demo.
