Does your end customer plan to record video in HD resolution? Are they looking to upload and access data 24/7? Do they want to save thousands of dollars in reduced hardware costs? If the answer is yes, consider a hybrid cloud storage option from BCD and Wasabi.
Wasabi’s hot cloud storage is an affordable and secure option that allows your clients to run their existing VMS and store, manage and protect their critical video data in the cloud. The Harmonize Bridge is a powerful cloud integration that augments BCD on-premise video recording storage with Wasabi hot cloud storage to ensure your clients never run out of space.
Adopting a hybrid cloud storage solution combines on-premise private and public cloud storage to optimize computing infrastructure. This integration allows your clients to store data and resources on both, unlocking many hybrid cloud storage benefits.
1. Optimize Performance
Wasabi’s highly parallelized system architecture delivers impressive read/write performance, enabling users to access video files instantly. Integrating Wasabi with BCD’s purpose-built appliances enables on-premise storage of video footage and archival storage in the cloud. This boosts the delivery speed of IT resources and agility by allowing businesses to scale their storage capabilities without additional equipment.
The hybrid cloud storage infrastructure employs a specialized design that can use fewer resources and ensure optimal performance. The Harmonize Bridge plug-in is designed for high-performance applications, enabling it to monitor every file system operation to detect changes, minimize latency and install updates faster.
2. Simple to Use
Hybrid cloud storage seamlessly integrates private cloud, public cloud and on-premise storage integration into a single, flexible and easy-to-use solution. Users can set up in seconds. With Wasabi’s intuitive S3-like web console, users can quickly create storage buckets and set up and configure access policies.
It also enables moving files in and out of the cloud with drag-and-drop simplicity and convenience. Harmonize Bridge encrypts files before sending them to the cloud, ensuring clients can access video feeds from a local drive and the server. Additionally, with a hybrid cloud setup, clients can quickly and automatically scale their resources up or down to accommodate expected and unexpected data traffic surges.
3. Reduce Costs
The hybrid cloud infrastructure eliminates the expenses associated with acquiring, maintaining and upgrading physical storage equipment. It also saves significant costs when shifting from one cloud service provider to another, as clients can store critical data in the network’s private infrastructure.
Additionally, most cloud service providers offer pay-as-you-go pricing models with the same level of performance and security as on-premise models. Clients can easily scale computing capabilities at reasonable costs during peak performance periods and eliminate these costs when their businesses resume regular operations.
4. Enhance Security
Wasabi hot cloud storage is designed with 11 nines (99.999999999%) of data durability and immutability. The Harmonize Bridge protects against network intrusion because it runs directly from the server’s memory, and all critical data is encrypted before leaving the network.
The centralized management of hybrid cloud systems supports implementing numerous security measures, including access control, encryption, automation and endpoint data security. Resource migration is also more secure on a hybrid cloud architecture because it’s completed using encrypted application programming interfaces or containers.
5. Maintain Regulatory Compliance
Numerous local and international laws guide or control how organizations store, use and process data. A hybrid cloud environment helps businesses comply with these ever-evolving data laws and regulations. By enabling clients to store their most critical data on-premise and using the cloud for less sensitive information, hybrid cloud storage helps them maintain compliance.
