Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Dual controller unit 12x10TB
This scale-up network storage solution features a base of 12 internal HDDs and can be seamlessly expanded via SAS interface-connected expansion units. This allows organizations to increase capacity for high-bandwidth video and intelligent analytics without needing to replace the core system.
The unit utilizes configurable hardware-based protection, supporting RAID-5, RAID-6, or Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP). This redundant architecture helps ensure that critical video footage remains secure, accessible, and intact even if a drive fails, minimizing operational downtime.
The system features a robust multipathing solution within its dual-controller architecture. When integrated with Video Recording Manager (VRM) and compatible IP cameras, it actively mitigates potential network and controller failures.
Yes. The system is equipped with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, delivering high-speed iSCSI connectivity. This helps ensure the smooth, reliable transmission of data-heavy video streams and the real-time metadata required for advanced video analytics, maintaining clear visibility across the environment.
The system is protected by NetApp services, which includes three years of next-business-day on-site support. This provides IT and security teams with the assurance that expert assistance is readily available if hardware issues arise.
