IoT Solution for Surveillance at VMworld Europe

Dell Technologies recently announced the Dell Technologies IoT Solution | Surveillance at VMworld in Las Vegas. The solution will also be highlighted at VMworld Europe in Barcelona and discussed in a breakout session by Frank McCarthy, Dell EMC CTO for Surveillance Solutions.

The IoT Solution | Surveillance is the first Dell Technologies branded IoT solution to hit the market.  The solution set is built with a hyper-converged, high performance, ingest storage tier and a dense secondary storage tier, designed to meet multi-petabyte storage requirements.  The hyper-converged ingest storage tier is engineered to handle the most demanding enterprise video ingest performance requirements needed for surveillance applications. This hyper-converged system allows customers to reduce the amount of compute and storage hardware for large scale deployments and seamlessly scales out as the system requirements increase. This addresses the need for a surveillance infrastructure to accommodate  the increasingly higher resolution cameras that customers are deploying while maximizing performance and keep the hardware footprint to a minimum.  The second tier of high-density storage can provide even greater scale and can be deployed as private and/or hybrid cloud storage.  Both storage tiers are software defined, utilizing Dell EMC appliances that have been designed and sized specifically for the surveillance workload.

The IoT Solution | Surveillance is an engineered solution that was tested, designed and validated in the Dell EMC Surveillance Labs in collaboration with Dell Technologies companies and business units.  This innovative solution is an example of the collaborative spirit that exists within Dell Technologies to combine best of breed products into a solution that addresses the challenges our customer face in the surveillance industry.

Future versions of the IoT Solution | Surveillance will allow for analytic application support, heterogenous surveillance camera management capabilities and end to end system orchestration of the entire system.
