Aurionpro Solutions Limited is an Indian technology company headquartered in Navi Mumbai. It provides technology solutions for the banking, mobility, payments, and government sectors. The company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE).
At a newly developed national highway surveillance site in India, Aurionpro needed a centralized storage system for recordings from more than 500 CCTV cameras. The storage would serve the video management system (VMS) in the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), where operators needed to store recordings and retrieve footage for review.
At this scale, the storage system had to support two workloads at once. The VMS recording servers needed to write incoming video while operators accessed footage for playback. Aurionpro needed a high-speed storage area network (SAN) that could handle both workloads, keep routine maintenance manageable, and provide room to expand as video storage needs grew.
Aurionpro deployed two QSAN XCubeSAN XS5312D hybrid storage systems connected through a 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) SAN switch. The VMS recording servers receive video from the cameras over the Ethernet network and write the recordings to the QSAN systems over the dedicated FC storage network. When operators request recorded footage, the VMS retrieves it from the SAN for playback.
This design separates incoming camera traffic from storage traffic. The Ethernet network carries video streams to the VMS, while the FC SAN provides a dedicated path for the recording servers to write and read video data. The two QSAN systems provide centralized storage for the site’s surveillance recordings.
For a site recording video from more than 500 highway cameras, operators need to be able to review earlier footage while new video is still being recorded. The dedicated 16 Gb Fibre Channel SAN gives the VMS recording servers a storage path for both workloads. Aurionpro identified playback performance as a key benefit of the deployment.
As its video storage needs grew, Aurionpro was able to expand SAN capacity without major disruption to existing operations. This gives the company flexibility to store more surveillance footage as recording needs grow.
