Video Data Lifecycle Management
Automated Hot-to-Cold Data Flow
Automated data movement from hot to cold storage with policy-driven management. Reduces storage TCO by 50%+ while ensuring compliance retention and intelligent deletion.
The Challenge
Organizations accumulate massive volumes of video data with varying access patterns. Recent footage is accessed frequently while older data is rarely retrieved. Storing all data on expensive high-performance storage wastes budget without improving operations.
Our Approach
Implement a multi-tier storage architecture with automated policy-driven data movement. Recent video (0-7 days) stays on high-performance SSD/HDD. Aging data (7-30 days) moves to high-density HDD. Long-term archive (30+ days) moves to object storage or tape.
Core Features
Policy-Driven Tiering
Define rules based on age, access frequency, camera tag, or event type to automate data movement.
Application Transparent
Data movement is completely transparent to VMS and applications; no workflow changes required.
Cost Optimization
Automatically move aging video to lower-cost storage tiers; reduce storage TCO by 40-70%.
Compliance Retention
Enforce minimum retention periods per regulatory requirements; prevent premature deletion.
Audit Trail
Complete log of all data movements, deletions, and policy changes for compliance reporting.
Instant Restore
Retrieve archived footage from cold storage within minutes; no manual tape handling.
