Chinese Provincial Public Security Department Selects Infortrend EonStor GS

Infortrend Technology, Inc. enabled Chinese Provincial Public Security Department with EonStor GS unified storage solution for the physical evidence database system that is simultaneously accessed by more than 1,000 staff.

The Public Security Department of Jiangsu Province in China is a functional department in charge of the province’s security maintenance, including public security, traffic, criminal and economic crimes, IT network security, border fire protection, immigration, and prisons within the province. The department was looking for a cost-effective storage for setting a management and control system with such functions as physical evidence entry and tracking, photo collection and archiving, inquiry, and statistical analysis. The main requirement was reliability and strong protection of centrally stored data, generated by all platforms. In their normal workflow, the database was simultaneously accessed by more than 1,000 people, so the storage had to offer performance with response time not exceeding 5ms.

The department selected EonStor GS 2000, as it is for the project requirements. It guarantees performance of R/W 11,800/6,300 MB/s and 633,000 IO/s to provide 2,000 concurrent access connections so that personnel could query and retrieve the corresponding evidence material. Moreover, GS has an expandable storage capacity to satisfy the needs of evidence database growth, data protection and recovery functions, and simple management interface.

“The IT-staff of the Public Security Department chose EonStor GS 2000 for storing the evidence database because of its high performance and supported concurrent multi-user access; moreover, it offers the best cost/performance ratio compared to other vendors’ solutions of the same type. The GS truly provides strong support for public security in handling cases,” said Frank Lee, senior director of product planning.
