TiSi Veracity can run embedded in COLDSTORE storage devices!
Here are 3 powerful reasons to choose COLDSTORE!
There are many video storage technologies available today, but most of them have been developed for IT data filing purposes. These solutions are insufficient for video storage; technologies such as deduplication, decompression and file quotas become dysfunctional. While millions of security camera data are recorded on NVR (Network Video Recorder) and server storage systems, problems such as video recording losses, hard disc failures, high energy consumption arise in this process. In addition, costs are increasing rapidly as more storage units and space are required for long-term recordings. Recognising these problems, Veracity has argued that IT storage systems are not designed for video recording and has developed a revolutionary technology in video storage.
Veracity’s COLDSTORE system makes a difference with L.A.I.D (Linear Array of Idle Disks) technology that brings a new approach to file systems and RAID technologies. Here are 3 reasons why you should prefer COLDSTORE:
The FAT file system used today was developed in 1977 and NTFS in 1993. Both are designed for IT data and are insufficient for video storage needs. Veracity, with its patented file system SFS (Sequential Filing System), offers a major innovation with this new file system developed based on the linearity and time scalability of video data.
- It allows you to reach the speed limits that HDDs reach under laboratory conditions in the real world. With SFS, 900 mbps writing speed can be reached on 3.5 inch discs.
- The Veracity SFS file system can grow a single block of data up to 0.73% of the HDD. Block sizes up to 11 GB are limited to 64 KB on other systems.
- Thanks to SFS linear write technology, HDDs minimise energy consumption by switching to standby mode when writing is complete.
- Write head vibration is reduced to almost zero, resulting in fewer disc failures.
- Compatible with 20TB HDDs, COLDSTORE also supports the soon-to-be-released 30TB HDDs.
Veracity brings a new breath to RAID systems with its patented L.A.I.D technology. L.A.I.D increases security by reducing disc failures. Thanks to ‘mirrored writing with overlapping pairs’ technology, 60% less capacity loss is experienced compared to RAID systems. While RAID systems can withstand two disc failures, L.A.I.D systems can continue to operate until three discs remain. In case of multiple disc failure, RAID systems lose all data, while L.A.I.D completely eliminates such problems.
- It provides a clear capacity advantage compared to RAID 5 and RAID 6 formats. In ColdStore, 70 TB storage capacity is achieved with 8 discs, while this is limited to 63 TB in RAID 5 format and 53 TB in RAID 6 format.
- While it may take days for a new disc to be integrated into the system in case of disc failure in RAID systems, this process takes less than a second in COLDSTORE.
- While inserting failed discs in RAID into another system may cause data loss, no data loss occurs in COLDSTORE and the system continues to operate.
Thanks to SFS and L.A.I.D technologies, Veracity COLDSTORE consumes 90% less energy than its competitors and experiences 20 times fewer disc failures. For example, the COLDSTORE COLLOSSUS model with 720 TB capacity consumes only 80W energy. This reduces energy costs and makes it an attractive option for UPS investment and green data centres.
Veracity COLDSTORE products create a big performance difference in video storage thanks to these advantages. For more information, you can contact Odak Security and Communication Systems, the distributor in Turkey.
