Frequently asked questions
How does the dual controller architecture improve system reliability?
The dual controller design ensures continuous data availability and system performance by providing robust failover capabilities. If one controller experiences an issue, the system maintains operations, preventing disruptions to your video recording and ensuring security teams maintain uninterrupted visibility.
Is this unit capable of supporting high-bandwidth intelligent video analytics?
Yes. As organizations rely more on real-time intelligence, the demand for fast, reliable storage increases. This unit features two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed iSCSI connectivity, ensuring continuous, smooth recording of both high-definition video streams and critical analytics metadata without bottlenecks.
How does the system protect critical video data against drive failures?
The unit utilizes configurable hardware-based protection, supporting RAID-5, RAID-6, or Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP). This ensures your critical video data remains secure and accessible, maintaining the highest system performance even if a hard drive fails and needs to be replaced.
Can the storage capacity grow alongside our expanding operational needs?
Absolutely. The system is built as a scale-up network storage solution. While the controller unit includes 12 internal HDDs, it can be seamlessly expanded via state-of-the-art SAS interface-connected expansion units, allowing you to increase storage capacity easily as your facility or camera counts grow.
How does the unit's design simplify maintenance for IT teams?
The fully modular design includes redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans. This allows IT and security personnel to perform everyday maintenance or replace components without powering down the system, minimizing business disruption and keeping your operations running smoothly. It is also protected by NetApp services, including three years of next-business-day on-site support.
