Pivot3 HCI Portfolio for Running and Utilizing Intelligent Video Analytics at Scale

Pivot3 added HCI appliances to its HCI portfolio purpose-built for running and utilizing intelligent video analytics at scale.

In conjunction with these solutions, the company has also developed a reference architecture for deploying video content analytics platform BriefCam Ltd. on the firm’s infrastructure. These solutions and reference architecture are designed to ensure that organizations can extract the full value of insights from their mission-critical video by making it secure, retrievable and actionable.

Video analytics software and infrastructure constitute an important and expanding market segment. However, sizing, configuring, and deploying video analytics at scale can be challenging, often resulting in under or over-sizing and not realizing the full value of the solution and the potential ROI. Analytics technology is evolving, so organizations need flexible infrastructure to keep pace and accommodate different deployment models.

The company is a first HCI provider to integrate and leverage Nvidia T4 GPUs and the Nvidia Metropolis platform for video analytics use cases. The firm’s analytics appliances provide Nvidia GPU-dense configurations, designed to support video analytics functions including line crossing, license plate recognition, object and event filtering, appearance similarity, real-time and smart alerts, multi-camera search, and video search and video Synopsis capabilities. The firm’s infrastructure deployments result in 50% lower TCO for video management and analytics through reduced hardware footprint and resource consolidation, reduced risk due to eliminating critical analytics downtime and granular pay-as-you-grow scaling.

“Customers are turning to video analytics to help get more out of the massive amount of video they are capturing,” said Ben Bolles, VP, product. “Video analytics is crucial to security operations and is incredibly compute-intensive; Pivot3 excels at mission-critical video with the only HCI platform designed for intelligent video applications.“

The company has tested and benchmarked BriefCam’s video analytics in its solutions test lab and has developed a set of deployment and configuration best practices. ITs validated reference architecture for the BriefCam Video Content Analytics platform optimizes the business and technical considerations associated with deploying next-gen video analytics in mid-to-large-scale mission-critical environments. The reference architecture is based on a combination of next gen analytics, video management and enterprise grade IT infrastructure powered by Nvidia GPUs, with the simplicity, economics and ease of scaling that security teams need.

“The growing demand for actionable data in mission-critical environments is a significant driver toward providing customers with a tested, resilient and scalable solution to deploy comprehensive video analytics,” said Yogev Wallach, senior product manager, BriefCam. “Pivot3’s intelligent HCI platform supports the specific performance parameters and workload requirements of our innovative and extensible video analytics platform. This optimizes the sizing and deployment process for our system integrators and accelerates the time to ROI for our customers.“
