The NSM5200 Series delivers industry leading performance and
innovation for mission-critical storage needs. The combination of
high performance, scalable hardware design and advanced software
capabilities enables the NSM5200 to meet the unique storage needs
of physical security and surveillance applications.
Hardware Built for Performance, Reliability, and
Scalability
The demands of surveillance applications place unique strains on
storage subsystems. Storage systems require the bandwidth and
capacity to keep up with incoming streams. They must also
simultaneously manage all other common disk and RAID functions. In
addition, physical security applications are almost always mission
critical. Any downtime, degraded performance for routine
maintenance, or loss of recorded footage is extremely disruptive to the
organization’s physical security mission.
The NSM5200 has been engineered to meet these unique
performance and reliability demands. Custom hardware components,
to eliminate common performance choke points to a patented scheme
for writing content to a disk drive, have been specifically designed to
deliver sustained high throughput for recording and playback. The
NSM5200 is capable of a maximum of 250 Mbps of throughput for
incoming streams while delivering 32 simultaneous playback streams
per storage pool. This performance is maintained whether the system
is operating under normal conditions, dealing with disk drive errors, or
rebuilding the RAID array.
The NSM5200 improves the total cost of ownership and energy
efficiency by consolidating disparate components into a single
chassis. The 250 Mbps throughput provides double the improvement
over Pelco’s first generation integrated recorder, allowing users to
service far more data streams in one storage unit than previously
possible. In addition, with the integration of the storage controller
functionality into the storage chassis, cost and energy efficiency is
optimized by eliminating the cost of additional servers and the
associated heating, ventilation, and cooling costs. Finally, the use of
lower power components and adaptive cooling inside the chassis
manage power dissipation based on load requirements.
Reliability is enhanced through the use of redundancy at all common
failure points. A CompactFlash card is used to host the operating
system for higher reliability than traditional hard disk drives. To
mitigate any downtime resulting from CompactFlash errors, the
database is striped across the storage array. The RAID 6 storage
configuration provides double parity protection of recorded data. The
hard drive bay is cooled through the use of high capacity, redundant
fans to ensure that the drives are kept at an optimum operating
temperature. Finally, fully redundant power supplies guard against
any power supply failure.
