Addressing the Challenges of Large-Scale Deployments
As enterprises grow and expand their operations across multiple locations, managing video surveillance becomes increasingly complex. Enterprise video management systems (VMS) face several challenges, including scaling across numerous sites, handling a vast number of cameras, ensuring reliable security, and seamlessly integrating with existing infrastructure. Salient’s CompleteView VMS is designed to address these challenges by providing a scalable, flexible, and open platform that meets the unique needs of enterprise-level deployments.
Enterprise video surveillance requires a VMS that can grow with an organization, adapting to evolving security needs without being constrained by hardware or platform limitations.
Powering Enterprise Scalability with Open, Flexible Solutions
Open Platform Flexibility: One of the primary challenges enterprises face is being locked into specific hardware or systems. With CompleteView, Salient’s open platform eliminates this limitation. The system supports a wide range of devices—from physical hardware to virtual machines—and can be deployed on various client platforms, including desktop, web, or mobile. This flexibility extends to support integration with third-party technologies, such as analytics or access control systems, using open APIs and developer tools. Enterprises have the freedom to customize their security ecosystem without being tied to specific vendors.
Centralized Management: Managing thousands of cameras, sites, and users is a daunting task for any large organization. CompleteView simplifies this by offering centralized, remote management capabilities. Enterprises can easily monitor and control video surveillance across multiple sites through a unified platform, enabling secure access and reducing the complexity of managing distributed environments. Salient offers cloud-based solutions for flexible scaling options, allowing organizations to choose the most efficient and cost-effective methods to scale their video management operations.
Federation: Enhancing Security for Complex, Multi-Site Deployments
As enterprise environments grow, so does the complexity of managing multiple sites. Salient’s Federation architecture offers a solution to this challenge, allowing enterprises to scale their VMS efficiently while reducing the risk of downtime or failure.
Autonomous Site Operation: Federation enables the deployment of multiple Management Servers that operate independently across various sites. Each Management Server manages its own resources and user permissions, reducing the reliance on a single point of failure. This distributed architecture enhances system resilience and ensures that, even if one server experiences an issue, other locations remain fully operational.
Efficient Deployment Management: With Federation, enterprises can streamline deployment management across their entire organization. By maintaining local autonomy at each site while still having centralized oversight, enterprises can meet their specific security needs without compromising on efficiency or control.
Bandwidth Management and Video Storage for Distributed Locations
One of the major challenges for enterprises with multiple distributed sites is managing bandwidth and video storage efficiently. Salient VMS is designed to optimize both, ensuring the best performance while minimizing resource consumption.
Optimized Video Transmission: When transmitting video, Salient’s Recording Servers deliver only the resolution and frame rate requested by the client, reducing unnecessary bandwidth usage. This approach minimizes the processing requirements for both the client and the network, resulting in a more responsive and smooth video experience for users, no matter where they are located.
Predictive Storage Analytics: Another significant concern for large-scale deployments is managing video storage effectively. Salient’s VMS offers predictive storage analytics, allowing administrators to monitor and adjust retention policies proactively. This helps identify potential risks to storage capacity and ensures that enterprises can meet their retention goals without disruptions.
Seamless Integration with Third-Party Solutions: The Key to Enterprise Flexibility
Enterprises often have diverse security needs that require integration with various third-party solutions. Salient VMS’s open platform makes this process seamless.
Open APIs for Maximum Flexibility: CompleteView provides comprehensive API support and developer tools, allowing enterprises to easily integrate third-party technologies, such as video analytics, access control, sensors, and other security tools, into their existing systems. This flexibility ensures that organizations can adapt their VMS to meet changing needs without having to invest in entirely new systems.
Scalability Without Compromise: By facilitating seamless integration, Salient’s VMS empowers enterprises to scale their operations without having to replace or overhaul their current infrastructure. This not only reduces operational costs but also ensures that security systems remain adaptive and future-proof as enterprise needs evolve.
