The
EE500 Series EnduraXpress
combines the performance,
reliability, and robustness of an enterprise-class, mission-critical
storage management system. It offers ease of installation and
management that is critical for delivering a cost-effective solution
to small-scale installations.
Hardware Built for Performance and Reliability
The demands of surveillance applications place unique strains on
storage subsystems. Storage systems require the bandwidth and
capacity to keep up with incoming streams. They must also
simultaneously manage all other common disk and RAID functions.
Additionally, physical security applications are typically mission
critical. Any downtime, degraded performance for routine
maintenance, or loss of recorded footage is extremely disruptive to
the organization’s physical security mission.
The
EE500
is engineered to meet these unique performance and
reliability demands. Custom hardware components have been
specifically designed to deliver sustained high throughput for
recording and playback. The
EE500
can handle a maximum of
250 Mbps of sustained write throughput across 32 or 64 streams and
an additional 32 simultaneous playback streams. This performance
is maintained whether the system is operating under normal
conditions, dealing with disk drive errors, or rebuilding the RAID
array.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The
EE500
improves the total cost of ownership and energy
efficiency by consolidating disparate components into a single
chassis. The integration of the recording server, recording software,
and storage array into a highly optimized chassis can easily support
standard resolution and megapixel camera recording workloads.
The purpose-built, highly optimized design reduces annual operating
costs by eliminating the cost of additional servers and the
associated heating, ventilation, and cooling requirements they
introduce.
Reliability is enhanced through the use of redundancy at all common
failure points. A CompactFlash card hosts the operating system for
higher reliability over traditional hard disk drives. To mitigate any
downtime resulting from CompactFlash errors, the database is
striped across the storage array. The RAID 6 storage configuration
provides double parity protection of recorded data. The hard drive
bay is cooled through the use of high capacity, redundant fans to
ensure that the drives are kept at an optimum operating temperature.
Finally, fully redundant power supplies guard against any power
supply failure.
As with any other system, maintenance is an important and vital part
of sustained operation. The
to make maintenance more efficient and to allow the system to
continue operating at peak performance levels. Easy access to hard
disk drives and the CompactFlash card is available from the front
panel. A unique rail system allows access to a failed fan should it
need to be replaced. Temperature sensors throughout the chassis
detect possible airflow obstruction or clogged intake filters. The use
of enterprise-class SAS
management and monitoring. Notifications of potential or actual
issues are transmitted to the specified user interfaces for action
through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages
and traps.
If additional storage capacity is required, the capacity can be
expanded using third-party storage arrays with an optional fibre
channel interface.
EE500
incorporates various innovations
®
technology provides advanced enclosure
Software Built for Flexibility, Reliability, and Cost
Optimization
The
EE500
incorporates a wizard-driven installation procedure that
guides the integrator through a step-by-step installation, which
automates most processes. The integrated Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server provides DHCP addresses to IP
cameras or client workstations. The integrated network time
protocol manager can be directed at a network time server, or it can
act as the time source for all cameras and client workstations on the
network. The deterministic performance of the hardware and
software combination allows integrators to easily estimate, size,
and configure the system to meet their storage and performance
requirements.
Cameras from the
supplied Endura
access to all operation and configuration features in a unified,
intuitive graphical user interface. The interface utilizes drag and drop
operations, keyboard shortcuts, built-in ToolTips, and online Help to
enable the most direct, intuitive interactions with cameras and
components distributed across the network. In addition, operators
can add Endura viewing devices such as the VCD5202 for virtualmatrix style control and network decoders to build out a monitor wall
for surveillance operations. Finally, the optional mapping interface
allows for a comprehensive view of the entire facility with integrated
alarm monitoring and visual verification capabilities.
The
EE500
software easily accommodates standard resolution, high
definition (HD), and megapixel camera sources; decodes MPEG-4 and
H.264 (baseline, main, and high profile); includes support for Zone of
™
Interest
; direct PTZ control and digital zoom; alarm management;
includes the option of utilizing camera sources with intelligent video
content analysis at the edge; efficient search and export
mechanisms; and a complete administration and configuration
console.
The
EE500
includes built-in support for Pelco IP Cameras. Third-party
cameras can be added using an optional UDI5000-CAM universal
device interface. Additional user interfaces, including network
decoders and virtual console displays, can be added to expand
viewing capabilities into a full virtual matrix.
