White Paper
Choosing the Right Storage Technology for Video Surveillance
This white paper compares DAS, SAN, and NAS architectures for growing video surveillance environments. It explains why SAN delivers superior performance, reliability, and scalability for high-resolution, high-retention camera systems. Diagrams on pages 4–7 illustrate architecture differences and data paths. The guide recommends block-level SAN storage for live video recording, highlighting lower latency, persistent connectivity, and easier long-term expansion, especially in enterprise-grade surveillance deployments.
