What is Storage RAID Subsystem?
The RAID Storage subsystem is an dedicated system for server, PC
or NVR for data storage. It connected with the server through the
SAS, Fiber or the iSCSI interface. The controller based system with
a dedicated “RAID controller” provide the highest performance
and reliability for the mission critical applications like database,
banking, multimedia or security. The reference providers for
storage subsystem includes IBM, Dell, EMC, Infortrend or HP.

What is all in one PC solutions?
One of the common solutions for NVR is to used a commercial off the
shelf solution to assemble the motherboard, chassis and the RAID card
into a complete systems. It is called CTOS based solutions. The benefits
for the CTOS are flexible and low cost. It’s also the only solution for
suppliers with neither design nor manufacturing capacity. The
disadvantages are integration risk and lack of reliability. Its storage
solutions come from a PC + RAID card. This all in one architecture brings
the low cost advantages but with lower reliability and performance
compared to the subsystem storage.

1. Subsystem Storage Solutions
• The video recording device should use subsystem storage
through SAS/iSCSI/Fiber channel* connected with the NVR
server to provide a high performance and reliable megapixel

2. Controller Based Subsystem Storage
• The subsystem storage should be a hardware RAID controller
based solution (instead of the common PC, RAID card or Linux
software RAID solution to ensure system reliability.)

29. 29
3. Modulate and cable less design
• All the main components for the system include power supplier,
RAID controller and the fan should be designed as reliable
modulate to support easy swappable and cable less(without
cable plug in/out).

30. 30
4. Storage Expandability
• The system should support SAS expansion capability to support
at most 240 hard drives through the JBOD.

5. iSCSI Connectivity – When using for SAN
• The system should support iSCSI connectivity to support the
storage area network (SAN). Each controller supports 4 x 1GbE
iSCSI ports for video data in and out.

32. 32
6. SAS Connectivity – when using for DAS
• The system should support the SAS 6G connectivity to provide
the maximum performance in the DAS topology. Each
controller supports 2 x SAS 6G ports for video data in and out.

33. 33
7. The Drive Connectivity
• The system should support the 3.5” 6Gb/s SAS Hard Drive and
the 3.5” 6G/s SATA Hard Drive. It also supports the S.M.A.R.T
and the automatic bad sector assignment.
Serial Attached SCSI is a point to point serial protocol. It overwrites the older
parallel SCSI interface. SAS offers backward compatibility with SATA. The
SAS disk brings higher performance and reliability for most of the enterprise
applications. The common all in one NVR doesn’t support the SAS drive

34. 34
8. RAID Configuration
• The system should support the RAID level 0, 1(0+1), 3, 5, 6, 10,
30, 50, 60 up to 32 logical drives and 64 partitions per logical
volume up to 1024 LUNs. It supports the on-line RAID
expansions and migrations.

9. Form Factors
• The system should in the 2U/3U, 19-inch rack mount form
factor. The depth of the chassis need to be limited under
520mm to make it fit in to the common surveillance rack in a
shorter depth.
Short depth chassis < 520mm
Common COTS Server, depth > 600mm

36. 36
10. Power Supplier
• The storage device should support the redundant power
supplier. And the power supplier need to be 80 PLUS-certified
delivering more than 80% energy efficiency

37. 37
11. Management
• The NVR needs to offer an easy management tool through
network to handle account management, storage provisioning,
status, alarm monitoring and data services maintenance. The
management tool can support windows, Linux and MAC
platforms.

38. 38
12. Alarm and Notification for Storage
• The NVR needs to offer an event notification tool based on
user configured methods and event sensitivities. Support
notification methods via email, SNMP , SMS. The events
include storage status, media error, abnormal recording
performance, disk error, RAID failure, abnormal hardware
status.

39. 39
13. Local Replication Snapshot – data services
• The NVR needs to support local replication in a remote virtual
point to record the data state at any given moment. This
enables NVR to restore the accidently deleted video.

14. O.S. Support
• The storage devices need to support or be certificated by
windows server 2012 (hyper –V), CITRIX , VMware , RedHat
Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux to offer flexible deployment.

41. 41
15. Remote Replications
• The system should support the sync or async full data copies
across systems. It is used for centralized data backup or the
disaster recovery.

42. 42
16. Thin Provisioning – data services
• The NVR should support thin provisioning to dynamically
allocate the storage capacity when the data block are written.
It can reduce the storage capacity, prevent over provisioning on
disk and support the volume expansion without downtime.

43. 43
17. Full Redundant architecture
• The system should support full redundant solutions to meet
the maximum reliability for power supplier and the RAID
controller.
