Server Sizing Concept; Approximate Video Data Volume Per Second - Canon VK-16 v2.1 Administrator's Manual

Server Sizing Concept

Determine your server configuration (components and the number of units) depending on 1) required hard disk
capacity and 2) video data volume per second.
1) Required hard disk capacity:
2) Video data volume per second: If the video data volume per second by server exceeds values shown
Note
Every operation environment of VK-64/VK-16 is different (due to different requirements and different
hardware specifications) and the figures provided below are just for the reference.
Data volume per drive should be less than 2TB.

Approximate Video Data Volume per Second

The recording performance of VK-64/VK-16 v2.1 is as follows.
• For dedicated Storage Server: Maximum amount of recorded data per server = 5.5 MB/sec or less
(when using SCSI, SAS disk)
JPEG
MPEG-4
• For Storage and Playback Server: Maximum amount of recorded data per server = 3 MB/sec or less
JPEG
MPEG-4
Note
Data-writing performance may be reduced than the approximate values given above depending on the
hard disk or the RAID card in the PC.
Consider the required hard disk capacity based on continuous recording
with fixed frame rate, resolution, and quantity.
below, you should consider multiple servers or review the recording
conditions.
