With the Xcellis Application Director E, customers in low camera-count environments can run video management systems (VMS) or analytic applications with directly attached storage.

In addition, Arecont Vision, LLC, AxxonSoft, Inc. and Digifort have joined the company’s Advantage Partner program, enabling them to test, qualify and integrate their VMS technology with the firm’s storage offerings for enhanced customer benefits.

Quantum will showcase these and other developments at Intersec 2017 in Dubai, UAE, January. 22-24.

Bringing surveillance and security storage to smaller environments
Xcellis Application Director E, a new model in the Xcellis Application Director product line, is a cost-effective video server and storage appliance for smaller-scale camera environments.

This entry-level offering:

is for implementations ranging from 10 to 25 cameras;
fulfills storage requirements from 18 to 64TB (raw);
enables users to manage further data growth through integration into a larger firm’s QXS Series disk-based environment or Xcellis-based tiered architecture.

With the addition of the Xcellis Application Director E, company’s product portfolio for video surveillance infrastructures can scale from ten cameras to tens of thousands. The solutions also enable VMS applications to connect directly to QXS Series disk storage or as clients in an Xcellis environment powered by firm’s StorNext data management. As a result, users can access data without adding to network traffic for a more efficient video surveillance infrastructure.
