Storage Solutions
As demand for digital video
applications grows, so too
does the need for reliable,
high volume network video
storage solutions. Although
modern video compression
techniques help to reduce
the size of video files,
video remains extremely
storage-intensive, especially
in applications like video
surveillance where multiple
cameras are capturing video
continuously, 24 hours a day.

Storage Module (ESM). Ideal for Intellex DVMS and LT systems,
The new Rack Mount models are available in a variety of
configurations and capacities. There are iSCSI RAID, 4 GB Fibre
RAID, and Expansion models which have been uniquely
designed to utilize the same 3U chassis. These storage
solutions come standard with redundant power supplies and
fans, and nearly every component is hot-swappable, including
sixteen lockable drives. Optional battery backup module is also
available for the iSCSI and Fibre RAID units.

Powerful direct attached storage (DAS) or storage attached
each ESM seamlessly expands your database capacity by an
additional 640 GB or 1000 GB. You can triple the capacity by
cascading up to three ESM units per Intellex DVMS or LT. Both
ESM640 and ESM1000 are compatible with desktop and rack
mount installations.
