Sun’s Reference Architecture for Video Surveillance with ipConfigure ESM
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Video surveillance is growing in importance as organizations seek to protect physical and capital assets. At the same time, the need to monitor more people, places, and things coupled with a desire to extract more useful information from video data is driving new demands for scalability, capabilities, and capacity. These demands are outstripping the abilities of traditional analog video surveillance approaches.
Fortunately, digital video surveillance solutions based on open and standard networking protocols are providing new ways of collecting, analyzing, and archiving enormous amounts of video data. With an entirely digital approach, Sun™’s Reference Architecture for Video Surveillance with ipConfigure Enterprise Surveillance Manager (ESM) offers both extensive scalability and capacity, as well as the flexibility to retrieve essential information from gathered video data. This document describes the reference architecture, and provides basic installation, configuration, and scaling information.
