With this storage system, you can create a 2-node Failover Virtualization Cluster in one box. This model is designed for video surveillance, for installations on hundreds of IP cameras, for storing hundreds of terabytes of data and for analyzing video recordings. We tested it using the Macroscop software. Video surveillance is one of the main driving forces in the storage market. The decline in the cost of IP cameras has led to the fact that today they are installed in hundreds, often next ...
