Fast, Reliable Video Storage
Access and retrieve your content in a heartbeat—whether you’ve got 200 or 200,000 cameras. Our video-storage solutions can manage tens of petabytes of video data.
Never lose access.
We built the NetApp® video-surveillance solution on a fault-tolerant design to deliver greater than 99.999% availability.
With no single point of failure, it provides outstanding resiliency—proven by more than 1 million systems in the field.
Get the speed you need.
Gain high density and high performance in the same small footprint. Without compromise.
It’s taken more than 30 years of engineering refinement and system hardening to produce our validated architecture.
Deploy and support it. Easy.
You don’t need serious IT skills to install and support NetApp systems. Our enterprise alliance architecture, with its “call-home” support capabilities, is much easier to support than complex, scale-out file-system storage deployments.
Scale without limits.
From 200 video cameras to 200,000, we designed our enterprise video-storage solutions to scale transparently.
All components are hot-swappable; upgrade them as necessary without disruption.
Lower your cost of ownership.
Our customers confirm: NetApp video-storage systems are 18–22% more cost effective over a 3-year lifecycle than any other platform they’ve installed.
If your video is mission-critical but complicated to back up, count on E-series to do the job. More than 1 million installations stand behind it.
