Surveillance Challenges Facing Traditional Storage

Fast growing camera market and HD videos

generate a huge number of video files,

complicating storage planning.

Multi-service systems require multiple storage

platforms with a high building cost and upkeep.

As a large number of videos are restored, data

recovery and file retrieval both take a long time.

Big data analysis and intelligent video analysis

demand high bandwidth and performance.

Distributed architecture: All nodes participate I/O, eliminating performance bottleneck. Scale-out expansion improves performance with volume. Max capacity of 40PB meets the requirement of video surveillance such as large volume, high band and concurrency.

Hardware of X86 simplifies O&M. Surveillance manage software can be installed on the hardware platform, saving the cost of servers.

Cloud Storage

SAN Storage

Architecture of 1 drives N: One controller drives

N disk units. Only controller is responsible for I/O which often becomes the performance bottleneck. Scale-up expansion can’t improve performance when capacity expanded.

Only the controller adopts X86 architecture.

The total video data SAN Storage : after 2 disk breakdown all data are lost.

SafeVideo : make fault-free disk space readable

With SafeVideo patent technology , no matter

how many disks breakdown, if there is one

fault-free disk video data can be read from the

normal disk.

Cloud Storage

In the SAN storage ,if two or more disks of one

RAID5 set breakdown at same time, all the

video data stored in this RAID set will be lost.

SAN Storage

Cloud Storage Advantage: Reliability Comparison

Cloud Storage has higher reliability ,fault data recovery rate up to

1TB/hour.

Cloud Storage

SAN Storage

Cross-node RAID is super set of RAID，more reliable and flexible than RAID.

Multi node participate parallel recovery of failed node , improving recovery speed to 1TB per hour. Cloud storage can endure multi disk failure

without immediate replacement. m 2 m4 m 1 m3 m 3 m 2 m4 n1 n2 m 1 n2 n1

In case of node failure, damaged data can be restore through algorithm with data in other normal node.

File is devided into M pieces, N pieces of parity produced then. All the pieces are written into M+N nodes

Data protection usually adopts RAID5 : N+1(parity)+1(hot backup)

After one disk failed , the data is recovered to hot backup disk, which will take about 22 hours for 4T data recovery and make performance decline more than 50%.

Failure disk must be replaced immediately. So maintenance is heavy.

Cloud Storage

SAN Storage

Rapid deployment by Plug and Play, unnecessary to plan RAID and LUN;

Capacity can be expanded in 3 levels: disk, node and domain. It take only one minute to expand one node;

Capacity expansion has no impact on surveillance service system.

When deployment, LUNs must be planned and

formatted. It will take more than 20 hours to format a LUN and more than 100 hours to format all LUNs of a SAN storage;

Capacity is increased by adding disk units. When number

of disk units exceeds a limit, a new controller should be added which means a new storage system.

After storage expansion, new volume should be configured to surveillance management system.

Cloud Storage

SAN Storage

Cloud storage manages cross-region resources and presents global unified view to service servers. Storage load can be balanced within cloud storage system.

Physical resources are shielded to surveillance management and run as a storage pool to upper system.

Every IPSAN is managed respectively, no

load balance.

Storage systems couple closely with surveillance management system. Two parts impact each other when configuring and managing, improving management cost.

RAID 5 group fail.

SafeVideo: Data in normal

space can be read in the event

of a RAID failure.



The failure or damage of any number of disks does

not affect the video streaming. Only data on the

failed or damaged disks is lost.



The risk of all data loss caused by disk failures is

greatly reduced.
