New offerings consolidate and simplify video surveillance infrastructure through software innovation, giving security integrators more choice, more flexibility, and a path to subscription and managed services.






Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ: QMCO), the leader in solutions for video and unstructured data, today announced the Unified Surveillance Platform (USP), a resilient, flexible, and secure software platform for recording and storing video surveillance data. In addition to introducing this software platform, Quantum is introducing a new line of Smart Network Video Recording Servers (NVRs). The Smart NVRs combine the Quantum Unified Surveillance Platform software with a purpose-built NVR server to create a next-generation, integrated appliance for capturing and recording surveillance video. These new offerings expand Quantum's video surveillance portfolio which also includes hyperconverged appliances from the recently acquired Pivot3 video surveillance assets, standard NVRs, and long-term retention solutions.




The Quantum USP software simplifies video recording infrastructure and lowers total cost of ownership by consolidating the server's compute, storage, and networking resources into a single unified and scalable system that hosts video management system (VMS) and other common security applications. Quantum USP software runs on any standard server to give security integrators flexibility in the server hardware they use and provides them with a path to subscription-based revenue and managed services with a simple, convenient subscription licensing model. 

 

 

In addition, Quantum's new Smart NVR can run multiple physical security applications--unlike other NVRs--on a single server to reduce costs and complexity for security integrators and their customers. These new offerings broaden Quantum's end-to-end portfolio of solutions for capturing, storing, analyzing, and retaining video surveillance data.

 

 

Quantum USP Provides Resilient, Flexible, Secure Platform for Mission-Critical Video

 

The Quantum USP is based on software technology that Quantum acquired last year from EnCloudEn. Quantum has further developed and optimized the software to meet the unique needs of the video surveillance market, particularly for organizations where video is mission-critical to their security objectives. Quantum USP provides several unique benefits including:

·       Flexibility for system integrators and customers to use their choice of server hardware

 

·       Convenience of subscription software licensing plans with variable length terms

 

·       Fast video ingest and instant playback using intelligent cache management optimized for VMS applications

 

·       Ability to create storage pools from mixed media types (HDD, SSD, NVMe, etc.) to match application-specific performance and cost requirements

 

·       'Write online / distribute offline' algorithm to keep pace with video ingest and to avoid susceptibility to dropped frames

 

·       Built-in data center-grade digital security to prevent unauthorized access and malware

 

·       Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) through strategic use of open source, including a built-in KVM based hypervisor, software-defined networking, and management console for ease of deployment and management

 

 

 

 

Introducing New Line of Smart NVRs to Reduce Costs and Simplify Deployment

 

Quantum Smart NVRs combine the Quantum USP software with a purpose-built recording server to create a next-generation, integrated appliance for capturing and recording surveillance video in small-to-mid size deployments. Unlike other NVRs, the Quantum Smart NVR provides several benefits including:

 

 

·       Ability to run multiple applications on a single NVR to reduce the number of recording or other security servers required

 

·       Built-in data center-grade digital security to prevent unauthorized access and malware

 

·       Predictive health and resource monitoring including VMS application event management

 

·       Simple menu-driven, one-click setup and management

 

·       Available in both 2U and ultra-dense 4U Smart NVRs that provide up to 960TB of capacity in a single chassis
