Arteco is proud to announce our latest feature to ARTECO-SERVER Enterprise VMS software: Disk Management. This feature allows you to easily assign camera to multiple installed drives. You can assign manually or select all of your drives and click “Auto Balance” which will evenly distribute your cameras based on the total size of available space. The really cool (and useful) part of this feature is you can now designate space on any drive as “Spare” storage. Spare space on the drive is reserved for a fatal event on one of the other drives and the cameras from a failed drive are automatically moved to this space.
Here is how it works: let’s say you have two 2 TB drives in your server for 16 cameras (Drives D and E for example). Each drive has 1.5 TB of space available for video recordings and .5 TB dedicated as “Spare” space. Drive D has cameras 1-8 and Drive E has cameras 9-16 assigned to them. Over time Drive E begins to fail. ARTECO-SERVER anticipates that the drive is about to have a fatal flaw and safely moves cameras 9-16 to the “Spare” space available on Drive D. ARTECO-LOGIC sends server events indicating that Drive E is failing and events indicating that each camera has been moved to the Spare drive.
Now you can rest assured that video will never be lost due to a hard drive failure in your video surveillance server!!!
If you would like to see a live demo of how this works, give us a call and we can schedule a webex meeting and show you!
