E8 Highlights

Our E8-Series offers highly scalable storage, ­specifically designed and developed to meet the needs of ­the most demanding mid-range and high-end video surveillance applications.

The E8-Series is based around Fibrenetix high performance ­video streaming chip technology, offering more than 30% higher ­performance than any comparable product on the market and at least 30% more cameras per storage controller.

The E8-Series with dual 10Gbit iSCSI connection meets the needs of the most demanding surveillance environments with hundreds of video streams and massive storage capacity, combined with long data retention periods and the smallest possible footprint. An E8 can service up to 700 Cameras Streams (1080P, 4Mbps), with a storage capacity of up to 9.2 Petabytes per iSCSI controller.

Additional E8 storage systems can be added to the network, ­offering scalability up to hundreds of petabytes, to meet the ­requirements for Homeland Security, Airports and City Centre surveillance installations.

The 16-bay E88-Series comes with dual controllers to enable a fully redundant environment. All connection points and JBOD controllers also have dual controller support. Combined with hot-swap power supplies, fans and hard drives, the E88-Series offers true Enterprise Class High Availability.

E8-Series is also available with dual 16Gbit Fibre Channel host connection.
