Describe your product's design and/or technological innovation.
Edge Protect is a hyperconverged SAN storage solution for mid-sized and remotely distributed surveillance applications. It delivers enterprise-class IT capabilities on off-the-shelf x86 server hardware, enabling users to realize the benefits of highly efficient shared storage and built-in failover without the complexity or cost typically associated with infrastructure based on separate servers and SAN storage.
Edge Protect is designed for mid-market applications of up to 200 cameras, allowing campus, retail, financial and distributed environments to access efficient shared storage and built-in failover. It eliminates the complexity and costs typically associated with infrastructure based on separate servers and SAN storage, streamlining deployment and management.
Edge Protect utilizes highly available software-defined SAN storage. All previously recorded video remains fully accessible even when appliances go offline. This extreme resiliency ensures critical data is protected and available when needed for security, liability, intelligence and risk management.
Due to Edge Protect’s integrated server virtualization technology, other business intelligence applications can be consolidated to further reduce costs and improve reliability.
All of these features and benefits are typically only found in large-scale SAN and virtual server environments, but Edge Protect delivers these resources at a lower price point and without the need for advanced IT skills.
Describe the three most important functional features of this product. What sets it apart from other products in this category?
-High-performance storage and server infrastructure for up to 200 video surveillance cameras, at a price point competitive with direct attached storage (DAS) typically deployed in mid-sized NVR applications.
-Unique architecture ensures all storage is accessible by all cameras regardless of physical location.
-With built-in server failover, video management and recording functionality is protected during any hardware failures.
-Enables integrators to deliver purpose-built, enterprise-class video surveillance infrastructure in a simple-to-deploy and scale-out, hyperconverged appliance model.
-Extreme resiliency ensures critical data is protected and available when needed
-Other business intelligence applications (i.e. access control, visitor management, video analytics, etc.) can be added
Describe the benefits that your product provides to the integrator, including value if applicable.
Edge Protect is designed for small, medium and distributed environments in the retail, financial, educational and healthcare markets. Its ability to deliver enterprise-class IT capabilities to mid-market applications of up to 200 cameras opens new doors to new opportunities for integrators who want to deliver the benefits of IT to their SMB surveillance customers — at a price comparable to standard direct attached storage, such as NVRs. Edge Protect also serves as an entry point to the benefits of HCI, a technology category that is expected to deliver significant benefits to the security operations center in the coming years.
