Our post 9/11 world has seen an unprecedented uptick in enhancing security infrastructure and implementations. Technology solutions, including access control, video surveillance and cyber, are being more widely adapted than ever before by organizations across all sectors. Enterprise businesses are among them, and as they’ve continued to expand their video surveillance landscapes, managing the huge amount of video data they’re recording has become a real and growing challenge for many of them.
Many enterprise businesses that have long relied on traditional, on-premise storage systems are struggling to cope with the sheer volume of data. Challenges range from staying within their system’s capacity limits, dealing with possible data loss, and the inability to scale their systems to meet the retention of data requirements that are being imposed on many enterprise businesses. The most daunting fear for these businesses is that their onsite site storage system, which is their one and only data storage source, represents a single point of failure for complete loss of all their recorded content.
If you couple all this with the fact that many enterprise businesses rely so much on video surveillance systems to safeguard their assets, employees, and customers, and, as a result, have installed exponentially more cameras in recent years to mitigate threats, the need to adequately store footage and easily retrieve it has become more important.
We at Cloud Collect have long recognized this dilemma and, in response, have developed our Cloud Collect Bridge solution to simplify the process for end-users to migrate to the cloud with our Hybrid On-Premise to Cloud model for securely storing and safeguarding video surveillance data.
Cloud Collect Bridge gives enterprise businesses the long-awaited ability to leverage their legacy hardware and Windows-based VMS platforms and transition gradually to cloud storage while using their existing VMS user interface. This solution allows end users to expand their storage capacity, retain footage for more extended periods of time, find and retrieve that footage quickly, both securely and very cost effectively in the cloud via their own VMS. Here is how.
The Cloud Collect Bridge solution provides unlimited storage capacity, allowing enterprise businesses to scale their data storage however they need, whenever they need. Regardless of whether the enterprise has over 100 cameras, unlike physical, on-site hardware, Cloud Collect Bridge can accommodate and secure the ever-expanding amount of video footage being generated by those cameras, giving the peace of mind that space for critical surveillance data will never run out.
And because Cloud Collect Bridge uses redundant data centers, multiple copies of data are stored across geographically diverse locations, mitigating the threat of data loss across their offices, and ensuring that the data is always available, even in the case of a local hardware failure or natural disaster. This is made possible through Cloud Collect Bridge’s user-friendly Web-based interface, so that authorized personnel can quickly and easily search, retrieve, and review video footage. This ability not only enhances operational efficiencies but also significantly reduces response times when action is needed. Various stakeholders of the business can collaborate to better facilitate any needed investigations and manage incidents.
For added peace of mind, Cloud Collect Bridge only employs secure and robust encryption protocols so that data is kept confidential while it’s being transmitted and stored in the cloud. This is critically important as it assists enterprise businesses in complying with regulations specific to their industry as well as data privacy requirements, such as GDPR and HIPAA.
