Safeguarding security data is mission-critical and demands a robust storage strategy . Maintaining continuous access to recorded videos and seamless operation of recording and archiving equipment is crucial . Storage solutions must provide continuity while addressing other end-user concerns like compliance , cybersecurity , and AI . After all , a storage strategy is not “ robust ” if it doesn ’ t implore a holistic and multi-faceted approach .
Maximise Uptime
In environments like airports and casinos , operations must persist during storage maintenance to remain compliant . Adopting a node-based NAS storage solution , with erasure coding , can enable non-disruptive maintenance . Cybersecurity breaches are another contributor to downtime . Storage architecture must include an offline cyber recovery vault , disconnected from the production cluster , to expedite recovery and minimise downtime .
Optimise Cloud and Space
Mounting network access and egress costs combined with security concerns have many companies rethinking the cloud first approach . Organisations are shifting to a cloud-smart strategy by segregating on-prem and cloud-stored data to harness cloud benefits while maintaining data control . Storage solutions that scale-out seamlessly into the petabyte range while minimising rack space are the best choice to drive efficiency and performance on-prem .
Harness AI
As companies aggressively adopt Generative AI , optimised storage infrastructure is the key to harnessing improved outcomes . Storage platforms must align with the emerging needs of GenAI and offer solutions that make the data easier to manage , process and analyse . Catering to AI ’ s specific requirements and vast , diverse data sets is accomplished by employing cutting-edge technologies like distributed storage , data compression and efficient data indexing .
The world ’ s most flexible 1 , efficient 2 , and secure 3 scale-out NAS solution When it comes to deploying a robust storage architecture that effectively stores , protects and manages mission-critical security data and offers unmatched performance for workloads like AI , Dell PowerScale storage is the clear choice . With critical assets at stake , you need a high-performance and scalable solution to help protect what matters most .
