A hot Topic at ISC West this year was law enforcement agencies , which are experiencing an influx of video caused by increasing amounts of body cameras , and longer video retention policies , which have become challenging to maintain due to the high costs of only using cloud-based storage . “ Managing this infrastructure while keeping costs down takes an intelligent , scalable storage platform ,” said Wayne Arvidson , Quantum ’ s VP of Surveillance & Security . “ Quantum ’ s law enforcement storage solution has the ability to tier storage , which will save you money without reducing video quality , retention time , or camera streams — allowing you to invest more in other tools needed to successfully keep people and property safe .”
Calgary Police uses Quantum ’ s law enforcement solution , which migrates less-used data to more cost-effective tiers . Even when a file has been tiered to a different type of storage , the file looks like it ’ s right where you left it ; it ’ s as easy as looking at your C : Drive . Tiering minimizes the cost of video management , allowing you to spend more of your budget on other surveillance tools .
