Development History

Over the last 14 years, Hikvision storage device has been

the storage leader for surveillance storage. We started to

research SAN products in 2004 and now we are the

worldwide largest private cluster storage provider.

DAS: Directly Attached Storage (out)

Limited by server’s CPU, I/O ability.

When expanding storage device, the server

should be powered off.

Data back up takes long time.

NAS: Network Attached Storage

File level storage.

Ideal for file sharing, pictures sharing, video

sharing(FTP).

Reading speed faster than write speed.

Data back up occupy network speed.

SAN: Storage Area Network

IP SAN & FC SAN, FC SAN with high speed,

mainly based on iSCSI protocol.

Data spreads in so many HDDs, applications

can visit all HDDs directly, high writing speed.

Disadvantages:

Video reading and writing should be done

through platform server

High construction cost, performance bottleneck

The traditional file system periodically covers

data and a large number of fragments.

Server failure can cause file system damage

and data loss.

Advantages:

Open and standard iSCSI Protocol

Centralized storage, easy to manage

Easy to extend storage capability

High data searching efficiency

Features:

Video stream writes directly into storage

device, eliminating storage server costs,

avoiding single point of failure and server

performance bottlenecks;

Standard ONVIF and RTSP support for 3rd

Camera access;

SDK available for 3rd VMS integration

ANR

Hybrid SAN support ANR function, the

video would storage in NVR/IPC (Edge

Storage) when network disconnect. It

will draw video back into hybrid SAN

when network come back normal.

To realize backup of critical video in challenging network Not lose video from cameras in critical places

Advanced Video Technologies to Ensure Safety

Schedule backup

The video can be stored in NVR or

Edge storage in the daytime when network

is heavy load. It can schedule back up the

video from NVR or edge storage at night

when network is idle

Several Kinds of Standard RAID

Widely used RAID: RAID 0; RAID 1; RAID 5; RAID 6; RAID 10

HDD usage efficiency: RAID 0>RAID 5>RAID 6>RAID 10> RAID 1

How many HDD gets bad the system still work:

RAID 0=0; RAID 1=half HDD; RAID 5=1; RAID 6=2; RAID 10=half HDD

Hardware-modularized design

Easy to install and maintain;

No cabling design, easy for trouble shooting.

Dual Controller

Dual PowerDual Fan

Higher System Availability Design

Compared with the server architecture, the

advantage of the controller architecture is

reflected in full-mode wireless cable,

supporting hot plug and better maintainability .

1 Hybrid SAN failover node

can take over multiple failed

host devices.

When failed node goes back

to normal, failover storage

will transfer back video to

host node.

Network Storage Cases

Customer info Hybrid SAN provide schedule backup function

which can realize schedule backup from local

storage (IPC, DVR or NVR) to Hybrid SAN.

It can reduce network bandwidth pressure

during working hours

Singapore Telecom --- Mobile one

Requirements and challenges Limited budget and rack space

Network bandwidth limited, in daytime busy but in

nighttime free to use.

Project Background

Scheduled backup solution for limited network bandwidth

M1 is Singapore’s most vibrant and dynamic

communications company

providing mobile and fixed services to over 2 million

customers.

Higher performance and lower rack space

Hikvision hybrid SAN don’t need storage server by utilizing

direct streaming technology thus lower total cost and lower

rack space requirement

Thailand Bank Project

Customer info

Standard Chartered Bank PLC has more than 1,400

branches in over 50 countries and territories,

employing 60,000 people.

Requirements and challenges

This bank has more than 2000 cameras spreading across

different branches while having not too high resolution,

customer looks for storage solution with higher camera

number access capacity. Hikvision provides large camera

access storage device for this project

Hikvision Solution and Customer values

This project has more than 2000 channel cameras, the

bitrate of cameras is 512Kbps. Due to large camera access

capacity of Hikvision Hybrid SAN solution, only 3 units

storage device are used in this project.

Accessed thousands of cameras

More than 2000 cameras spread across different

branches, Hybrid SAN help client realize centralized

storage at ease

Safe City Project in Kiev Ukraine

Kiev is the capital of Ukraine, In early 2016 the Kiev city government proposed a safety city construction plan, to

create a more peaceful, more intelligent living environment. Huawei, Dahua, Milestone and many other

manufacturers have been involved, but HIKVISION finally won the tender because HIKVISION successfully meet

the complicated demands, such as variety of surveillance scenes, centralized management & storage, compatible

with third-party devices, high data security demand, complicated network environment, urgent project cycle etc.
