Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Base Unit 12x10TB
This scale-up network storage solution features a controller unit with 12 internal HDDs and seamlessly integrates with expansion units via a SAS interface, allowing you to increase capacity as your video intelligence needs expand.
The unit offers configurable hardware-based protection, supporting RAID-5, RAID-6, or Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP). This helps ensure that high-bandwidth video streams and intelligent video analytics data remain secure and accessible even if a drive fails.
To support continuous, high-resolution video streams, the system is equipped with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This provides high-speed iSCSI connectivity, ensuring reliable data transfer without bottlenecks in mission-critical environments.
When deployed in dual-controller environments, the unit utilizes a multipathing solution integrated with proprietary IP cameras and Video Recording Manager (VRM). This architecture helps maintain continuous data flow and reduces downtime during potential network or controller failures.
The system is protected by NetApp services, which includes three years of next-business-day on-site support. This professional backing simplifies everyday maintenance and helps ensure that critical security operations experience minimal disruption.
