Introduction
VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (VMS) OVER SAN
With data analytics now being collected from video data content, VMS tasks have gone far beyond simple security monitoring. New features including IoT end device monitoring, video data analytics,
and policy-driven data mining of video and images are becoming widely adopted in VMS platforms,
continue to drive data volume growth, and lead to data storage capacity expansion.
When designing a data storage infrastructure to meet VMS video/audio retention requirements, onprem iSCSI SAN (Storage Area Network) and cloud-based implementations are two alternatives to traditional, all-in-one VMS solutions such as Network Video Recorder (NVR) or dedicated Digital Video
Recorder (DVR). When implementing a solution over an on-prem iSCSI SAN, you'll have:

Scalability. Scale to petabyte capacities, when needed, at lower cost.
