This guide is intended for use by internal Dell Technologies sales and pre-sales personnel, and qualified Dell Technologies and Verint 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:
- Dell EMC Isilon
- Dell EMC Unity
- Dell EMC PowerEdge
- Dell EMC ECS Object Storage
These guidelines include the following design considerations:
- Bandwidth recommendations for Verint Enterprise VMS release 6.3 or later and one or more Dell EMC storage systems
- Dell EMC storage system configurations that are ideal for physical security solutions with Verint Enterprise VMS
- Architectural overview of Verint Enterprise VMS
- Dell EMC storage considerations for Verint Enterprise VMS
Use this guide to determine the best practices for the following:
- Number of Enterprise VMS Recorders
- Mix of nodes and Enterprise VMS Recorders based on the expected bandwidth in an Isilon implementation
- Mix of nodes and Enterprise VMS Recorders based on the expected bandwidth in an ECS implementation
- Storage using Fibre Channel (FC) and Internet SCSI (iSCSI) on Unity systems
- 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
