VSS, a division of the BCD International brand of companies, specialises in offering video recording appliances via authorised security distributors. These are pre-engineered with Milestone XProtect video management software, built on the latest generation of Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Seagate Skyhawk surveillance-grade drives. VSS appliances also feature innovative and disruptive technology such as its Storage Accelerator, which significantly increases storage scalability, performance and reliability. Video management software “We are excited to invite everyone to stand SA-A34 to witness the power and functionality that the VSS appliance portfolio is bringing to the market. In particular, we want visitors to see the power of our ground breaking Storage Accelerator, the industry’s first disruptive technology which allows users to better utilise Milestone Systems video management software, by eliminating the need for expensive 10K/15K RPM SAS drives normally required to run a live database”, says Rohit Khubchandani, Regional Sales Director - METAI, Video Storage Solutions (VSS) According to the company, this technology also enables customers to better utilise the real estate on the recording server, in order to be able to run more storage drives per server, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the project. This can deliver huge financial savings by reducing operational costs normally incurred, such as rack space, cooling and power.
