Data Sheet VSS Virtual Security Server Security clients anytime, anywhere, any device CENTRALIZED CLIENT MANAGEMENT UP TO 50% LESS BANDWIDTH UP TO 80 VIDEO STREAMS MOBILE ACCESS INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY CLIENT VSS consolidates all security workstations including video and integrated systems from any manufacturer The Pivot3 Virtual Security Server (VSS) delivers fully functional security clients applications anytime, anywhere, to any device, regardless of system manufacturer. VSS overcomes the limitations of manufacturer-specific mobile apps and reduces the need to invest in expensive, graphics-enabled client workstations. Reduce costs and mitigate risk by mobilizing your entire security suite. The flexibility of permissions-based distributed security data enables entirely new operational models for surveillance. Purpose-Built for Video Surveillance VSS delivers client desktop access with up to 40 simultaneous HD (1080P), 30fps video streams to up to 10 viewing stations from a single appliance, and even more at lower resolutions and frame rates. All intensive compute and rendering operations are handled by the VSS appliance, eliminating that burden from the client viewing stations. A highly efficient protocol transmits all desktop and video graphics over LAN and WAN connections, reducing bandwidth by up to 50% compared to native VMS mobile apps and client software. Built-in Data Security Video data remains stored in a Pivot3 Virtual SAN or existing video storage location. VSS delivers only the desktop image to the client viewing station using a secure protocol; video and related data remains securely in the data center, and stateless clients do not store any data locally. This eliminates the risk of compromise or unauthorized download and distribution of sensitive data. Enhanced Video Stream Performance Standard VMS mobile apps sacrifice substantial functionality, typically limiting access to only a few video streams from a single VMS, and without any integrated systems such as access control. Users must be inside the SOC or in front of a dedicated workstation to access the full functionality of the system. VSS delivers fully functional client desktops to any mobile or other client device, including multiple manufacturers and integrated systems. Reduce Costs and Complexity Capitalize on the substantial financial benefits of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI): Reduce capital costs with flexible, secure thin clients and zero clients instead of expensive, graphics-enabled workstations. Reduce operating expenses and complexity by managing all client viewing stations from a single location with a single software image.

HCI vs NVR: The Pivot3 Advantage Maximize Performance and Scalability, Eliminate Downtime and Data Loss Modern Network Video Recorders (NVRs) are based on Direct Attached Storage (DAS) technology, and were designed to mimic obsolete analog VCRs and DVRs. But most IT organizations have evolved to virtualized servers and shared storage infrastructure (SAN), and stopped using DAS decades ago due to its highly inefficient operation and critical susceptibility to downtime and data loss. Many security implementations, however, have continued to rely on aging and inadequate DAS architecture for increasingly sophisticated video surveillance systems. Pivot3 Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) brings the best of both worlds, merging the resiliency and efficiency of SAN with the simplicity of DAS, and optimizing performance for challenging workloads like video surveillance. VIDEO SYSTEMS CHANGE CONSTANTLY Evolving needs and technologies demand seamless scalability NVRs cannot scale. The only way to grow is to add more NVRs, which leads to stranded islands of storage and bandwidth, inconsistent retention times and unreliable performance. It also requires complicated provisioning, constant management and manual load balancing. Pivot3 aggregates storage and bandwidth from all nodes into a single pool, eliminating resource islands. Each added node provides storage and bandwidth for all cameras, and resources are automatically load balanced with no user intervention and no system downtime. Stranded islands of storage that do not scale Seamless resource pool that scales simply and without disruption 5 OUT OF 9 SERVERS FAIL EVERY YEAR Average failure takes 1-2 days to recover, leading to major vulnerabilities and liabilities When NVRs fail, recording stops and both live and recorded video becomes inaccessible. Drive and controller failures can lead to the permanent loss of video data. RAID technology can protect data against only one or two drive failures, and results in very long rebuild times and poor system performance. Software failover adds significant costs and prevents access to recorded video. No single points of failure Pivot3 eliminates downtime and data loss. Built-in server failover ensures video is always recording and live video is always accessible. Patented Scalar Erasure Coding protects data against up to five simultaneous drive failures, or the failure of an entire node. Live and recorded video is always accessible, even during major hardware failures. And no redundant equipment, special software or extra licensing is required.
POOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE LEADS TO IMAGE DEGRADATION AND VIDEO LOSS Video is highly variable, high bandwidth and write intensive DAS is designed for general-purpose applications NVRs based on Direct Attached Storage are designed for read-intensive applications, typically lacking advanced capabilities like solid-state caching and resource aggregation. Video is bottlenecked, and performance suffers during video data spikes and hardware failures. Pivot3 is optimized for video surveillance Pivot3 is the only storage system optimized for video surveillance. Aggregated storage, solid-state cache and bandwidth are accessible by all cameras - regardless of which physical node they are associated with - ensuring video is captured without frame loss. Optimum performance is sustained during data spikes and hardware failures. Dropped frames result in image quality degradation and video loss Data evenly distributed across nodes, crystal clear images even during spikes VIDEO SYSTEMS CAN QUICKLY OUTGROW AVAILABLE RESOURCES Cost and complexity can spiral out of control COST RESOURCES NVRs: Extensive Hidden Costs and Complexity To deliver the necessary resiliency and scalability, NVR-based systems require redundant hardware, software and licensing. Storage utilization is highly inefficient, resulting in the need to over-purchase to meet performance and retention demands. And administering multiple disparate systems adds substantial cost and complexity. Pivot3: Enterprise-Class Infrastructure Without the Cost and Complexity Built-in server failover eliminates the need to purchase redundant hardware and software, and can ensure high availability to all applications not limited to just video. Patented Scalar Erasure Coding delivers up to 94% usable storage capacity. Automated management and proactive maintenance vastly reduces complexity. PERFORMANCE. RESILIENCY. SCALABILITY.
