Dell EMC SCv3000 Series Storage for
Video Surveillance
Surveillance solutions based on high-density storage platforms that provide the bandwidth, economics, and scalability to
meet your retention needs.
Performance, scale, and value
The rapid evolution of surveillance technologies is
creating new challenges for security staff and systems.
Demand for high-definition and multi-megapixel cameras,
extended retention requirements, event capture, and data
analytics create a capacity, performance, and budget
conundrum for security professionals.
Video surveillance solutions using Dell EMC™ storage,
server, and networking products provide physical security
experts with the flexibility, performance, and scale to
support high camera counts, megapixel resolutions, high
frame rates, and long retention times demanded by the
industry. Dell EMC storage architecture is designed to
provide the high availability required to meet the demands
of today’s IP-based video surveillance deployments.
Video surveillance solutions at scale require a storage system
that can provide deterministic performance, reliability, and
ease of use, all at a value point that makes sense. Dell EMC
storage can be deployed as either block or file solutions,
enabling direct integration with video management software
to match the size and scale of the solution requirement.
Surveillance does not come in one-size-fits-all solutions. The
Dell EMC storage portfolio offers scale-up and scale-out
models with tiering options to meet project requirements. In
combination with Dell EMC servers, workstations, and
networking, complete solutions can be deployed that are
optimized for interoperability and are all supported through a
single vendor.
Dell EMC, in partnership with your security consultant, can
recommend appropriate elements of the Dell EMC storage
portfolio including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SAS capabilities
along with a broad offering of form factors and media types
that can be tuned to specific workload requirements.
