iSCSI Application for NVR

Mission: The target is to integrate with Network Video Recorder (NVR) and Arena's iSCSI storage to accomplish large capacity of video data backup and playback solution via the Ethernet network.

Solution: By using the unique feature of iSCSI products, we could set up the connection of the storage device via the network, and provide IP cameras safety storage to store the image datum. The best benefit of this solution is that the NVR system could extend its capacity and amounts of video datum in no time through iSCSI expansion.

Flexible Capacity of Video Data storing and Backup
Arena iSCSI storage could connect to server, network switch or a network video recorder (NVR) system. The demands are each system have respective IP nodes, or network addresses, and the system could act as video servers or video storages on the network. The setting allows user to watch the video from any remote computer with a web browser. Furthermore, customer can use an iSCSI booting function to boot from iSCSI bv setting the server BIOS. In such integration that OS and these video data can both be installed in iiSCSI storage device without wasting server's storage space. Finally, the user can set up a complex network environment with hundreds of cameras (In normal situation, one NVR is supported up to 16 to 32 cameras only) to share all video from one storage's storage pool without purchasing multiple NVRs and servers.

Time shift video playback while recording
The iSCSI storage allow customer's monitor the even while the recorder is working. Through separated stand alone storage, the remote server could see video playback a little ahead of recording time zone. It allow customer to find out immediately what's happening few seconds ago in their environment. It's also one extra feature for iSCSI or such network storage.

H.264 Video Compression with iSCSI RAID Subsystem

Mission:
For fitting IP surveillance and video market, the new update technology with H.264 MPEG compressing technology had been adapted for the common DVR nowadays. Here, MaxTronic provides iSCSI to SATA RAID System to comply with the new trend, by offering high-performance, reliable, and cost effective SATA RAID solutions.

Solution:
By integrating Arena iSCSI storage with H.264 NVR, we are targeting the SMB for IP surveillance which is using iSCSI protocol through internet as general applications in various environments.

New compressing technology with Arena iSCSI RAID Subsystem

iSCSI storage is a definite trend, made possible through a reliable network and makes a flexible network more important than ever. Especially, it is more and more popular. iSCSI storage combines with IP surveillance and use related network equipment to create a cost-effective solution. However, because of bandwidth (1Gb Ethernet), IP surveillance can not provide higher resolution and frame rate to satisfy customers' request. Now, latest video compression technology--- H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC) has overcome these issues completely.

H.264 is an open, licensed standard that supports the most efficient video compression techniques available today. Without
compromising image quality, an H.264 encoder can reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared with the
Motion JPEG format and as much as 50% more than with the traditional MPEG-4 Part 2 standard. It is the magnitude of these
numbers that makes H.264 highly relevant for video surveillance applications.

Depending on application needs, there are various ways to benefit from the impressive compression rate of H.264. Today, it is
common to choose a limited frame rate or lower resolution in order to stay within the specified storage limitations of an application.
This has a negative impact on the video images, which become either blurry or less detailed. Introducing video surveillance
equipment that support H.264 compression in such an application will enable several combinations of increased frame rate and
image resolution, thus providing higher image quality.

For fitting IP surveillance and video market, Arena provides SA-6603S/SA-4503S/SA-4303S (3U16Bay/2U12Bay/2U8Bay)
Rackmount iSCSI to SATA RAID System, by offering high-performance, reliable, and cost effective SATA RAID solutions. With
the outstanding feature Snapshot, easy-to-use GUI and the comprehensive RAID settings, Arena iSCSI to SATA RAID Systems
is excellent product for SAN over IP solution.

With the Trunking/LACP( Link Aggregation Control Protocol ) features, Arena iSCSI RAID Systems are not only deliver superior peak
performance through Trunking feature but also provides load Balance performance when LACP is enabled. The High throughput
performance of Arena iSCSI RAID Systems can ensure both functions working together in various setup environments. Therefore,
we could comply into H.264 transmitting.

Feature Highlights:
· Full compatibity with H.264 and also aba MPIO & MC/S Ready
Using the latest technology, H.264 with iSCSI, we got fully compatibility on transfer
and good performance out of it. We could even get multiple streams recording via
our Multipath I/O and Multiple Connection to create logical paths between the host
and storage device. The connection could fail over and fail back if a physical path
were to fail, the multipath software will use an alternate path to the storage device
to enable users continued access to their data.

· Snapshot & Rollback
The iSCSI series implements is a Copy-on-Write snapshot technology implemented that
utilizes a small pre-designated volume for the snapshot, known as the snapshot UDV.
When the snapshot is initially setup, metadata, or a table of contents, of the original
volume is copied, and thus makes the snapshot instantaneous. Before new data is
written the original data is copied to the snapshot UDV, and the new data is written to
the original data blocks. In the event of file corruption, accidental overwriting, or a virus
infection, a rollback can be performed to restore any remaining original data.

· Link Aggregation or Trunking
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), part of IEEE 802.32ad, allows users to bind
together both Ethernet ports into a single logical channel to increase bandwidth.
Trunking uses similar binding methods, combining both Ethernet ports as a single logical
port, can increase the bandwidth as well.

Application:
- Data Archiving
- Disk-to-Disk Backup
- Digital Video Recording
