Monitoring Storage Ushers in One of the New Generation Network Monitoring Storage

With the rapid development of network technology, network monitoring and storage have also evolved from the original namelessness to one of the mainstream storage methods. With the development of security video surveillance from simulation to digitization and then to the continuous development of the network. We can clearly see the changes and development of the combination of video surveillance technology and data storage technology: from closed-circuit television monitoring systems characterized by analog signals to digital or partially digital video surveillance systems, DVRs store monitoring data; With the booming networked video surveillance system, it is not difficult for us to see that network storage has become the most advanced storage system at present. At present, mainstream technologies for data backup represented by NAS and SAN technologies are one of the best solutions for automated storage in a distributed network environment through the combination of professional data storage management software with hardware and storage devices.

While the security market continues to increase, network video servers and network cameras have been widely used for front-end video surveillance products. The security video surveillance market has been well developed under this benign impetus. There are three types of network storage architectures: direct attached storage, network attached storage, and storage area network. These types of network storage have different characteristics and are applied in different fields. It is worth mentioning that the new storage architecture of networked storage, on the one hand, realizes network deployment and access, making access easier; on the other hand, the networked storage system guarantees the flexibility of space expansion.

From the current market development perspective, SAN-based storage devices have broken through the existing home / small office users and many small and medium-sized business users, and now can be easily applied to large-scale security businesses. With the monitoring and management platform to provide greater storage space, storage space is easy to expand, addressing flexibility, long-distance data transmission, high utilization of storage devices, so IPSANs are considered to be a hot spot in the video surveillance storage market.

The development of network storage is not always smooth. First of all, for a long time, users have become accustomed to direct-attached storage. Therefore, it is difficult for some customers to break traditional concepts for new network storage. Second, the advantage of network storage is total cost of ownership, but it does not include initial investment. Since high-end network storage solutions not only include equipment, but also require investment in complex networks, and are prone to port data redundancy, users need to spend more on direct investment than on direct connection. Of course, on the long-term, network storage is obvious. cheaper". Finally, the overall low level of overall informationization of domestic companies also hinders the development of network storage. But it is exciting that the vast majority of storage vendors have not given up on the development of network storage. Our common desire is to share the network storage "big cake." According to an analysis by the United States Parks Associates survey agency, the global network storage device market will reach US$13 million by 2012.

The term cloud storage has recently appeared in the monitoring industry. Cloud storage can achieve full virtualization of storage, greatly simplifies applications, saves customers' construction costs, and provides stronger storage and sharing capabilities. The amount of video surveillance data is huge, and the consumption of network bandwidth during transmission is very large. For the time being, I am afraid that the conditions for data centering are not fully realized. The application of cloud storage technology in the field of security monitoring will come a long way, but With the rapid development of network technology, the obstacles affecting its promotion will also be fundamentally solved, and cloud storage will have a bright future in the field of monitoring.
