got to install a few of these bad boys this week in a large national wholesale chain for their ip cam storage, that is a 72TB Raid config!

 
had to install some more ram, came with 24GB now has 192GB ECC DD4 1866 with two Xeon E7 8860V4 18core 36 thread monsters, this basically the cost of a new Z06 corvette

    Yes, except the mounting it in the top of the 7ft rack, that thing is a beast, have to pull the HDD out to take some weight off the front. When it first powers up it sounds like a 747 on take off lol, but then after 15 minutes it gets whisper quite. Runs a cisco proprietary os so no benches lol

    Is that all solid state storage?
     
    Interesting, we recently did a deployment of 117 4k video streams and have been converting our entire camera infrastructure over to milestone. We are starting to put that 10gig backbone I installed 2 years ago to work. :)
     
    We looked at the storage the vendor wanted to provide and what pricing they gave us. We bought one box to test, opened it up, and I actually out loud laughed at the internal components. I proceeded to give my boss a list of parts that I could put together to thoroughly outdo the vendor provided one for 1/3 the price. 
     
    We put together 3 systems with 90 tb of raw 7200rpm storage, and 1.2tb of live db 15k rpm storage 2gb raid card with battery backup, dual 10core cpus, 32 gigs of ram and SSD's for the OS. The cost for all three was less than that of a single box from the vendor that had one 6 core, 8gb of ram, and 50tb of storage with no live DB storage. Also despite the parts being separate they all have an extra year of warranty compared to the vendor provided system.
     
     
     
    Also, I like cisco, but man their smartnet pricing is just way out there anymore. We looked at them as a possible option for in-car routers for part of our fleet. It was going to be $100k/year for 160 units just to put any kind of smartnet on them so we have warranty should any fail 6 months down the road. Some of our firewalls and routers are getting up into 3k-5k per year each for next day replacement.
     
     
    As for the new hardware I really enjoyed playing with, I recently spun up a new RDS infrastructure, Dual 14 core CPU's, 640gb of ram, 20x 800gb 1.8" SSD's across two 2gb raid controllers, 2x 200GB SSD's, dual 10gig SFP+ ethernet links, and all crammed into a 1U form factor. It was a dell R630. Crazy what you can cram into 1U of space anymore. Im spoiled with that box, I want to update all our servers to all flash now. Just dont have the budget for that.
     
     
    Edit: corrected number of drives in our recording server they have 15 6tb drives in a raid 6. I knew I was getting 72tb somewhere thats formatted capacity after raid redundancy losses.

    The 12 for storage are seagate enterprise 6TB drives, the boot drives are intel ssd 120GB in a raid 1. These servers are around $110k each, and every C****o store is getting one, along with axis 1080p cameras, this is just one of 5 projects my company has going on for them right now. I also installed 2 new cisco 48 port poe switches in the same rack for the cameras. Each switch has a 10gbe dual connection to the server via fiber.

    You may have them cached from viewing earlier. Can you hit Ctrl+F5 and see if they still display for you? Prob EVGA.

    I am seeing the pictures just fine. Must be fun to mess with all that hardware and setting it all up. Work probably thinks its hard work and doesn't realize how exciting it is to get to play with it.

    Hey,
    My company does IP cameras for home use. However the homes we work in are the largest in the country and feel more like hotels with over 30 zones of shares audio and video, wifi, phones, and cameras and can range from 5,000 to 40,000 square feet.

    We have currently been using IC Real-time gear but we're no longer happy with it.
    We have been eyeballing Avigilon.

    Do you use one company or are you making your own as needed NVR/DVR with a mix of cameras like Axis?

    My company mostly uses axis with some samsung ( for banks ), cisco, and grandeye (360° in HD ) cameras. As for NVR and DVR more and more cisco security servers but also variant and march networks.
    The cisco servers are nice but very pricey. I like the nvr that Target uses, all video is off loaded to a remote location for every store, but the name escapes me right now.
