Quantum’s StorNextIncreases Capacity for Milestone Video Surveillance

Quantum Corp. announced a video surveillance solution certified with Milestone Systems, (a provider of open platform IP video management software (VMS). The combined solution stores large amounts of video files while optimizing the performance of the system, enabling Milestone users to capture higher quality video streams from more cameras simultaneously and have that data available for policy-driven analytics and retention.
The press release elaborated that the combination of StorNext with Milestone VMS addresses today’s video surveillance challenges with a solution validated through extensive testing and documentation. Among the product certification test findings:
• The combination of StorNext and XProtect exceeded the benchmark values by at least a factor of two.

• Extended testing demonstrated that StorNext storage enabled the Milestone VMS server to support a simultaneous ingest of up to 85 cameras per server — four times more than expected based on competing solutions in the same configuration.

• The system performed at a very high level of data throughput, with near zero read/write latency.

• Tests included scenarios with five recording servers with 250 video cameras, and 11 recording servers with 935 video cameras.

Christian Bohn, Vice President, Corporate Marketing and Alliances, Milestone Systems, said, ” It is in the best interest of our customers to be able to add more cameras without adding complexity, and StorNext and Milestone XProtect have now been certified to meet these needs.”
