7.1.3 VMS Storage
a. Next Level Security Systems Unified Security Appliance Gateway GW-4000 will store video for a
total of 10 days of local at minimum resolution of 720p 1280x720 @ 15 fps; motion video and event
video will then be moved to the central storage arrays at scheduled off peak network times to be
determined. Each GW-4000 will have (8) eight Terabytes of storage space.
b. In conjunction with on-site deployment of NLSS Cloud Services, distributed Next Level Gateways
can send video to centralized storage associated with an NLSS Cloud Services instance. The
movement of video can be triggered by motion in a camera’s field of view, a video or audio analytic,
or any video or system event.
c. NLSS provides pre-configured VMware machine images in OVF/OVA format for easy on-site
deployment. Offerer should provide a vSphere environment (4.1, 5.0 or 5.1) adequate to running the
virtual machine images. We estimate that a three image cluster with the following resource
reservations will suffice for the UK VMS/SMS project at full deployment:
1. Main Application Server
• 16GB RA M, 6 vCPU, 30GB virtual disk residing on fast underlying physical disk infrastructure
(10k/15k RPM drives).
2. Database Server
• 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 40GB virtual disk residing on fast underlying physical disk infrastructure
(10k/15k RPM drives).
3. NextConnect Server
• 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 12GB virtual disk. (This need not run on a fast disk array.)
The vSphere architecture should support HA (High Availability) and FT (Fault Tolerance) to ensure
continuous availability of the NLSS Cloud Services applications.
NLSS Cloud Services expects that network storage will be attached to the application server to hold
bulk data being moved to centralized storage. We estimate that 150 GB should be available for the
daily Gateway configuration backups.
For motion- and event-triggered video stored centrally, the storage required is heavily dependent on
the Offerer’s usage. We guesstimate that 130 to 150 TB of storage would be required centrally, if
15% of the video recorded by the cameras is exported and moved to central storage.
Methods of Calcuation:
1. If the distributed appliances hold 10 days of video in 8TB, and if approximately 15% of that is
to be pushed to RVS, then each GW will send 1.2TB in 10 days. If we hold it for 30days before
rolling it over, then each GW will need 3.6TB of central storage. If there are 40 Gateways, we’ll
need a total of 144TB.
2. A typical export of a five-minute, 720p clip is 80MB. If 15% of a day’s recordings are exported,
we have about 43 exports per camera per day. If we expect 40 Gateways with 32 cameras each
(see § 7.1.1.e), that gives us 1280 cameras total. These would produce about 4.3TB of total video
exports per day. After 30 days, we have about 129TB of video accumulated.

d. Peer to Peer (P2P)
NextConnect™ is a patent-pending, peer-to-peer technology that efficiently streams live video to an
unlimited number of users from a single site. This unique approach improves upon traditional models of
hosted video and access control by eliminating the need to route video and other data through a host
computer for each update.
NextConnect™ establishes a direct connection between the remote user and the NLSS Gateway, allowing
video to stream faster and smoother with reduced bandwidth consumption. In addition, video quality is
not degraded as more users log in to view the same video stream. This efficient routing of video and other
security data also reduces bandwidth and ultimately, Increased Demand Means Increased Resources.
With NextConnect™, clients provide resources,
which may include bandwidth and computing power.
As more users log in to view live video, the capacity of
the system actually increases because users connect
with other users, providing additional connection
points. In essence as demand increases, resources
also increase.
By contrast, in a traditional Client–Host system, users
share only their demands with the Host, but not their
resources. This means that as more clients join the system,
fewer resources are available to serve each client and the video
NextConnect™ P2P enables unlimited numbers
of live viewers to access the same video
simultaneously with no loss in quality.
performance degrades rapidly. The decentralized nature of
NextConnect™ also increases robustness because it removes
the single point of failure that can be inherent in a Client-Host based system.
» Unlimited Live Viewing: In the event of an emergency, multiple people need to view live video
simultaneously including police, emergency response teams, facilities managers and more.
Traditional remote video systems limit the number of people that access video before it starts to
degrade. NLSS Cloud Services, powered by NextConnect™, enables an unlimited number of
viewers to access the same video simultaneously.
» No Single Point of Failure: The decentralized nature of NextConnect™ also increases
robustness because it removes the single point of failure that can be inherent in a client-host
based system. If one point fails, the system will automatically connect to another access point.
» Encrypted 128bit AES for Video, Audio and Data providing secure communications between
trusted peers.
e. System supported network protocols
The Next Level Security System supports the following network protocols:
TCP, UDP, IPv4, HTTP, HTTPS, RTP, RTSP, DHCP, DNS, ARP, ICMP, IGMP, NTP, FTP, SFTP, UPnP,
RTMP and SNMP.
