 Types of Main Stream Storage – DAS/NAS/SAN

DAS: Directly Attached Storage (out)

 Limited by server’s CPU, I/O ability. DAS SAN iSCSI NAS

 When expanding storage device, the server

should be powered off. Server Server Server Server
 Data back up takes long time.
Application
NAS: Network Attached Storage File System File System File System
Server
 File level storage.
 Ideal for file sharing, pictures sharing, video NFS, CIFS

sharing(FTP).
Ethernet Ethernet
 Reading speed faster than write speed. SCSI FC Switch Switch

 Data back up occupy network speed.

SAN: Storage Area Network File System
RAID RAID RAID
 IP SAN & FC SAN, FC SAN with high speed, RAID
mainly based on iSCSI protocol.
 Data spreads in so many HDDs, applications
can visit all HDDs directly, high writing speed.

IP SAN (Platform Server) Surveillance Solution

Advantages:
 Open and standard iSCSI Protocol
 Centralized storage, easy to manage
 Easy to extend storage capability
Storage Server
 High data searching efficiency

Disadvantages:
 Video reading and writing should be done
through platform server
 High construction cost, performance bottleneck
 The traditional file system periodically covers
data and a large number of fragments.
IPC
Forwarding  Server failure can cause file system damage
Server and data loss.

Hikvision Video Direct Streaming Storage Solution

Hikvision Video Direct Streaming Storage

Features:

 Video stream writes directly into storage

device, eliminating storage server costs,
avoiding single point of failure and server
performance bottlenecks;

 Advanced Video Technologies to Ensure Safety
ANR
Hybrid SAN support ANR function, the
video would storage in NVR/IPC (Edge
Storage) when network disconnect. It
will draw video back into hybrid SAN
when network come back normal.
 Not lose video from cameras in critical places
Schedule backup
The video can be stored in NVR or
Edge storage in the daytime when network
is heavy load. It can schedule back up the
video from NVR or edge storage at night
when network is idle
 To realize backup of critical video in challenging network
 Several Kinds of Standard RAID

 Widely used RAID: RAID 0; RAID 1; RAID 5; RAID 6; RAID 10

 HDD usage efficiency: RAID 0>RAID 5>RAID 6>RAID 10> RAID 1
 How many HDD gets bad the system still work:
RAID 0=0; RAID 1=half HDD; RAID 5=1; RAID 6=2; RAID 10=half HDD
Higher System Availability Design

 Hardware-modularized design

 Easy to install and maintain;

 No cabling design, easy for trouble shooting.

 Compared with the server architecture, the

advantage of the controller architecture is

reflected in full-mode wireless cable,

Dual Controller
supporting hot plug and better maintainability .

Dual Fan Dual Power

Super N+1 Failover for Greater Reliability

 1 Hybrid SAN failover node

 Safe City Project in Kiev Ukraine

Project Background

Kiev is the capital of Ukraine, In early 2016 the Kiev city government proposed a safety city construction plan, to
create a more peaceful, more intelligent living environment. Huawei, Dahua, Milestone and many other
manufacturers have been involved, but HIKVISION finally won the tender because HIKVISION successfully meet
the complicated demands, such as variety of surveillance scenes, centralized management & storage, compatible
with third-party devices, high data security demand, complicated network environment, urgent project cycle etc.
