Compuverde: Hyperscale Storage Supports Media and Entertainment and Video Surveillance

Compuverde AB announced that its software-defined storage (SDS) solution, with its hyperscale capabilities, supports the massive storage requirements of organizations involved in the new media and entertainment, streaming and video surveillance.

Organizations in the media and entertainment industries, along with teams using video surveillance, generate huge amounts of data on a daily basis in data-intensive formats.

This requires a storage infrastructure that is flexible, performing and reliable at a cost-effective approach:

• Performance at low cost: An alternative to expensive storage solutions with special hardware units, the SDS solution is hardware-agnostic, which drives down costs by eliminating the need for special hardware, specialized configurations or RAID.

• Reliability and availability: In media and entertainment projects, teams see improvement from performance to agility, capacity and redundancy, which enables data reliability and HA at all times.

• More speed, no bottlenecks: For video surveillance needs, a scale-out vNAS solution means that loads from the cameras are distributed evenly to all the storage nodes, resulting in increased speed along with the elimination of single-point-of-entry bottlenecks.

Stefan Bernbo, CEO and founder, Compuverde, said: “When companies generate huge media data sets day after day, as is standard with video surveillance management and streaming video, the storage challenge becomes enormous. Traditional storage infrastructures and appliances are too costly. What we see now is that the requirements in terms of resolution, archiving age and redundancy is increasing and even gets regulated. At the same time they want to keep their storage costs down even when the capacity is reaching now dimensions. Our hyperscale vNAS enable the flexibility, performance and cost controls that enable our clients to meet the new media assets requirements.“
