This guide is intended for use by internal Dell Technologies sales and pre-sales personnel, and qualified Dell Technologies and Avigilon partners.
The guidelines presented are for storage platform positioning and system sizing. The sizing recommendations are based on performance and storage protocol conclusions derived from Dell Technologies testing.
The guidelines for sizing this video storage solution describe the use of the following storage platforms:
These guidelines include the following design considerations:
- Architectural overview of Avigilon Control Center Software
- Dell EMC storage considerations for Avigilon Control Center Software
Use this guide to determine the best practices for the following:
- Number of ACC Software Recorders
- Mix of nodes and ACC Software Recorders based on the expected bandwidth in an Isilon implementation
- Storage using Server Message Block (SMB) on Isilon systems
- Load factors related to the use of Dell EMC storage arrays in the customer's solution
Note: All performance data contained in this report was obtained in a rigorously controlled environment. Network topology and system environment variables can have significant impact on performance and stability. Follow the best practices as outlined in the Dell EMC Storage with Avigilon Control Center Software : Configuration Guide regarding network and storage array configuration. Server and network hardware can also affect performance. Performance varies depending on the specific hardware and software, and might be different from what is outlined here. Performance results will be similar if your environment uses similar hardware and network topology.
