“This is a large and fast growing market where the market
demands very low-cost storage and software and a scalable software
stack. Take a casino or a city police force. Each camera, and there
are hundreds of them, is writing to a different file, but they want
all the files in a single namespace. You might say, why not just
buy a bit NAS box? Remember, I said they wanted to do this as
inexpensively as possible, and they need scalability. NAS boxes
generally do not scale linearly as a shared file systems does by
adding servers and storage. This video surveillance market is
growing fast, and it will continue to grow as more and more cameras
are moving to digital online storage, as compared to writing to DVD
or tape.”
