APPLICATION | COLDSTORE is used for long retention storage by Power Companies

The world’s most
reliable surveillance
storage system
designed to perfectly
preserve the veracity
of your IP video

COLDSTORE’s sequential recording system
SFS™ writes to hard disk in a revolutionary
way, offers high reliability and extremely
low total cost of ownership.

| Network Attached Storage System with LAID & SFS

for high disk reliability

| Compatible with Wisenet WAVE VMS servers

| 210TB capacity in 3U using only 60W

| No data loss on disk failure and no rebuild required

| Automatic disk management

| Compatible with almost all types of SATA disk drive

| Dual hot-swap PSU and dual GigE network ports

COLDSTORE 3U is a unique
sequential surveillance storage
array designed from the ground
up for surveillance

COLDSTORE 3U is ideal for projects requiring affordable high
storage capacity, extended disk lifetimes, long file-retention and
simple system management.

Reliability assured

Our Linear Array of Idle Disks (L.A.I.D™)
technology combined with unique
Sequential disk Filing System (S.F.S™)
produces a powerfully simple system
which can provide generous storage
capacity at low cost. Whilst simple in
concept, this delivers a highly reliable
storage system which dramatically
extends disk lifetime even when using
the lowest cost disks available.

Low power, low cost

COLDSTORE 3U uses only one tenth
of the power of comparable systems,
is resilient to disk failure, requires no
disk rebuild process and reduces
running costs.

It provides an easy way to instantly
extract and transport critical evidential
video data.

Extended Disk Lifetimes

Disks are used sequentially, with all of
the disks not in use being switched
off, saving power and thus greatly
reducing temperature, vibration and
wear – the three primary disk killers.

The system uses a unique mirrored
overlapping-pair writing pattern to
provide full data redundancy during
the critical writing process. This
delivers the redundancy of RAID1
on write, but unlike RAID1, does not
require double the number of disks.

Within the disk, the sequential disk
filing system eliminates vibration from
the read/write head and lowers the
operating temperature. Within the array,
the use of sequential overlapping
mirrored writing pairs requires only
two active disks at any one time

DATA

with the others switched off. This
greatly reduces wear and further
reduces array vibration and operating
temperature. Thus every disk is off, on
average, for 87% of the time. Disks
automatically switch on for playback,
but typically playback from non-writing
disks is infrequent and hardly affects
the average duty cycle.

Purpose-Designed System

COLDSTORE 3U is built around a
custom designed main-board system
with low-power CPU and directly
connected SATA backplane.

Even a fully populated 210TB array
will only use 60 watts. The low power
system extends the electronic component
lifetime, which, combined with the
extended disk lifetimes results in a
very low overall total cost of ownership.

DATA

SWITCH

Wisenet WAVE NVRs record to external COLDSTOREs. Multiple NVRs can write to a single
COLDSTORE. A single NVR can be configured to write to two or more COLDSTOREs
(for long retention time applications) with automatic load-balancing. A software plug-in
for the Wisenet WAVE servers enables full COLDSTORE compatibilty.

IMAGINATION | INNOVATION | INTEGRATION DATASHEET

Low power and high capacity
make COLDSTORE 3U an ideal
system for long retention of
30 to 180 days or more

Removable drives containing specific time-spans enables rapid
extraction of critical evidential data for law enforcement purposes.

Configuration and Management

COLDSTORE 3U is simple to configure,
manage and monitor through Veracity’s
universal device configuration tool,
SITESCAPE. This Windows application
allows automatic device discovery,
configuration of settings, analysis of
disks and a basic level of diagnostics.

Simple Disk Management

COLDSTORE can use almost any
make, model and capacity of 3.5”
SATA disk drives including any mix of
drives. Disks may be added “on the
fly” and will automatically be
incorporated into the array. The
physical location of specific time
spans can be identified through
SITESCAPE and disks may be
extracted at any time. The disk status
LEDs above each disk slot indicate
writing, selection, fault and removal

readiness. These simple features,
along with the user-friendliness of
SITESCAPE, allow COLDSTORE and
the disks to be easily managed by
system integrators and end-users
alike. In addition to the mirrored
overlapping-pair mode, COLDSTORE
can also operate in full mirrored pair
mode if desired.

Integration

Veracity and Hanwha Techwin have
partnered together to ensure complete
compatibility between the Wisenet
WAVE VMS and COLDSTORE
video storage. Veracity provides
a free-of-charge software plug-in
for the Wisenet WAVE server.
The combination of Wisenet WAVE
and COLDSTORE results in a
high-performance video recording
and management system with a large

maximum capacity and very low total
cost of ownership, due to the extreme
reliability of hard disks when used in
COLDSTORE and the very low power
consumption of the system.

Scaled Systems

COLDSTORE storage systems scale
up to very large capacities for high
numbers of cameras and/or long
retention times simply by adding
additional arrays onto the network.
No complicated management
software is required.

Each Wisenet WAVE server can write
to multiple COLDSTOREs if required,
with automatic load-balancing
between the storage units.
This provides automatic storage-level
fail-over if required.

fans are software controlled and are
