The Impact of Video Surveillance Data on Physical Storage Media: Applying the Appropriate Storage Technology to Each Application


This IDC Perspective discusses the impact of video surveillance data on physical storage media and the importance of applying the right storage technology to each application. It highlights the growth of video data, the different storage architectures, and the dependence of video architectures on storage. The content also provides advice for technology buyers, discussing the pros and cons of different storage media such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), tape, and cloud. It concludes by estimating the storage relevance to the video data architectures.According to Mike Jude, research director for IDC's Video Surveillance and AI Video Analytics, "Video data utilization is now constrained not by video capture devices but by the infrastructure necessary to store and process such data. The various applications for video data may require multiple storage architectures, based on different storage modalities."Ed Burns, research director for IDC's Hard Disk Drive and Storage Technologies, notes, "Video storage depends on applications and whether the data needs to support immediate needs or longer-term analysis while considering the cost per terabyte of the storage solution. A storage solution that cannot accommodate the video data generated by video surveillance applications will not deliver the benefits that such data can deliver."Jeff Janukowicz, research vice president for Solid State Drives and Enabling Technologies, also notes, "SSD can be an ideal storage device for video surveillance because of their performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. Ultimately, the use of an SSD-based solution will be driven by performance considerations within the cost constraints of each use case."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
