Why Vess for Video Surveillance?
Designed for Video Surveillance
The demands of video surveillance applications are unique and you need storage solutions that are designed to excel in this environment. Vess is designed for video surveillance, eliminating the complexity of integrating a solution designed for IT in a surveillance environment. Plus, Vess delivers the best price/performance ratio of any competitor on the market, a huge asset to customers who demand outstanding performance on a tight budget.
SmartBoost Technologies
Reliable performance is crucial for video surveillance. When a storage array is newly configured, its performance is stable before it’s filled up with video data (figure
1). Once the newly configured array is filled up, the recording pattern becomes a continual process of writing off old surveillance video data and writing on new video data, creating a workload overhead that slightly impacts performance (figure 2).
If any of the drives fail, the system enters degraded or critical mode status which greatly impacts streaming performance (figure 3). The failed disk now needs to be replaced so the rebuild can start. During the rebuild, streaming performance can be much more unstable, as in addition to the normal request load the controller needs to reserve some computing power for the rebuild (figure 4).
The Vess Series is engineered to tackle these challenges. The Vess Series delivers industry leading reliability by providing more reliable and stable performance for surveillance video recording, especially when the array is in a critical state or during rebuild, which is key to eliminating frame dropping.
Partner Proven
The Vess Series has been certified and tested with the world’s leading video management software, including Milestone, Genetec, AxxonSoft, and CamIQ deliver-ing the highest levels of compatibility and performance. This provides a complete solution at a great price point, ensuring that customers’ expectations for excellence, performance, and scalability are met.

The high availability active-active Vess R-Series is designed for data-intensive industries, including midsize to large scale surveillance installations where downtime is unacceptable and where large external storage capacity, support for on-demand expansion, long retention periods, and reliable high bandwidth throughput are a must.
NVR Storage Appliances for IP Video Surveillance
Flexible Solution
The Vess A-Series is integrated with the operating system of your choice, and customers are provided with the option to purchase the system with or without hard disk drives. The Vess A-Series ships without video management software (VMS) installed, allowing users the flexibility to deploy the VMS of their choice.
Additionally, the stand-alone Vess NVR greatly reduces support and equipment costs because there is no separate RAID storage unit to manage, eliminating the need for a server, controller cards, external cables, and a separate storage enclosure for a complete video surveillance system; the Vess NVR storage appliance does it all!
Integrated Solution - Easier to Manage & Grow
The all-in-one Vess A-Series solution makes it incredible easy to scale as your surveillance needs grow. Security practitioners can easily scale with no user configuration, just plug and add. When external storage is a must, easily scale up with PROMISE’s Vess R-Series external storage series, creating a total video surveillance solution that combines a recording appliance and external storage.
