Pivot3 Announces 1U/2U CloudBank StandAlone Appliances

Pivot3, Inc. announced the Pivot3 1U and 2U CloudBank StandAlone appliances for distributed surveillance environments with capacity requirements that extend from 2TB to 24TB.

The standalone version of the Pivot3 CloudBank is for video surveillance applications in retail, financial, education and small-to-medium business environments where cameras are frequently distributed.

The 1U and 2U CloudBank appliances deliver both server and RAID-protected storage resources and are for smaller capacity sites that plan on future expansion. Standard Pivot3 CloudBanks can be added to a CloudBank StandAlone array to support more surveillance cameras or longer retention times. As platforms are added, new storage capacity can be shared across all cameras and video management software applications are protected in the case of a failure.

Each CloudBank StandAlone appliance offers the suite of Pivot3 video optimization features including coalesced write operations, load-balanced writes across all available network connections and disks, and continuous background verification to ensures performance regardless of disk or file state.

"Pivot3 is now the preferred storage solution for large-scale deployments and our customers asked us to extend our reach to smaller installations that range from 20 to 50 cameras," said Lee Caswell, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, Pivot3. "The StandAlone offering solves this market need and lets users tap into Pivot3’s extensive market knowledge and support infrastructure."
