As video surveillance data requirements explode due to increased retention times and higher resolution video, integrators and end users are struggling with ways to tame the costs. For example, a 50 camera setup at a retail location can generate nearly 500TB of data over 12 months (*), forcing users to spend massive amounts on traditional spinning disk or cloud storage.
MagStor’s new video surveillance appliances provides relief to users seeking more reliable and lower cost storage:
- The MagStor MV500 is a world’s first LTO integrated video surveillance appliance featuring fully integrated VMS and LTO video storage capabilities. The MV-500 enables recording and long term storage of video content at unparalleled pricing levels and flexibility.
- The MV500 appliance integrated software makes managing video content on tape a seamless experience. Features include offline LTO Tape media management to allow easy location of video content, and secure storage and transport tracking of media from branch sites to central locations or other backup locations.
MagStor will follow up the MV500 later in Q4 25 with tape library based LTO Video storage appliances offering capacities exceeding 5PB.
