Introduction
Solution overview
The purpose of this guide is to help you understand the benefits of using a Dell EMC
storage solution with ISS SecurOS. The solution includes both hardware and software
elements for video surveillance.
The storage platforms include physical hosts that are running SecurOS Enterprise
Video Surveillance Manager.
Scope
This guide is intended for use by internal Dell EMC sales and pre-sales personnel, and
qualified Dell EMC and ISS partners.
The guidelines presented are for storage platform positioning and system sizing. The
sizing recommendations are based on performance and storage protocol conclusions
derived from Dell EMC testing.
The guidelines for sizing this video storage solution describe the use of the following
storage platforms:

Key objectives
Introduction
The configurations documented in this guide are based on tests conducted in the Dell
EMC Surveillance Lab and actual production implementations.
These are the key objectives of this solution:
l
Measure the sizing needs for specific system requirements so that an
implementation can be correctly sized and the appropriate Dell EMC products can
be matched to a customer's requirements.
l
Determine the VNX and VSS LUN bandwidth within the storage pool.
l
Recommend an Isilon SMB configuration.
l
Calculate array or node maximum bandwidths.
l
Recommend disk drive types.
l
Determine Isilon bandwidth for each ISS Video Server
