Solution overview

Milestone XProtect Corporate is a tiered solution that works well with Dell EMC

Unity™or EMC VNX™family storage arrays as well as Dell EMC Isilon™scale-out

storage. The first tier of storage, Live DB, can accommodate stored video for the

retention period prior to being moved to the second tier, of storage, Archive DB or

deleted. The best practice retention time is between 2 and 24 hours. The second

storage tier is Archive DB, which can accommodate long video retention cycles prior

to being deleted from the second tier of storage.

Live DB requires block storage, such as Dell EMC Unity or EMC VNX family arrays

using iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC), or storage local to the server. In a virtualized

environment, the Unity or VNX family arrays can serve a dual purpose by providing

storage for the LiveDB and VMware datastores. The Archive DB used as the

secondary storage for video and surveillance data can be stored either on an Isilon

scale-out storage cluster or on a unique Unity or VNX family array.

While the Milestone XProtect Corporate tiered storage solution can be deployed

within a site, depending on the requirements XProtect Corporate can also provide a

solution for distributed to central site architectures.

Purpose

This configuration guide aims to help Dell EMC field personnel understand how to

configure Dell EMC storage system offerings to simplify the implementation of

Milestone XProtect Corporate. This document is not a replacement for the Milestone

implementation guide nor is it a replacement for the

XProtect Corporate: Sizing Guide

Use this guide to determine the requirements for a successful Milestone XProtect

Corporate 2013, 2014, 2016 or 2017 installation, Milestone storage tiering options, and

storage-specific configuration requirements.

Scope

This guide is intended for internal Dell EMC personnel and qualified Dell EMC and

Milestone partners. It provides configuration instructions for installing the Milestone

XProtect Corporate video management software using Dell EMC storage platforms.

The following Dell EMC storage systems have been tested:

This guide supplements the standard and provides configuration information specific

to Milestone XProtect Corporate.

Note

All performance data in this guide was obtained in a rigorously controlled environment.

Performance varies depending on the specific hardware and software used.

Assumptions

This solution assumes that internal Dell EMC personnel and qualified Dell EMC

partners are using this guide with an established architecture.

This guide assumes that the Dell EMC partners who intend to deploy this solution are:

lAssociated with product implementation

lMilestone-certified to install Milestone XProtect Corporate services

lProficient in installing and configuring VNX/VNXe storage solutions

lProficient in installing and configuring Isilon storage solutions

lFamiliar with installing and configuring VMware hypervisors and the appropriate

operating system, such as Microsoft Windows or a Linux distribution

lAble to access the

and

Dell EMC Isilon Storage with Video Management Systems:

Configuration Guide

The configurations that are documented in this guide are based on tests that we

conducted in the Dell EMC Surveillance Lab using worst-case scenarios to establish a

performance baseline. Lab results might differ from individual production

implementations.

Dell EMC storage considerations for Milestone XProtect

Corporate

To successfully design and implement a Milestone XProtect Corporate system, you

need to consider many aspects of the system, including networks, cameras, storage,

and more. This section presents storage considerations and recommendations you

should take into account when deploying a Milestone XProtect Corporate system on

Dell EMC storage platforms.

Video Flow

There are many Dell EMC storage platform options for each storage tier. The Live DB

can be direct-attached storage (DAS), such as FC or iSCSI block storage. The Archive

DB can be DAS if the storage requirement is minimal, and network-attached storage

(NAS), FC, or iSCSI for virtualized server implementations and more substantial video

storage requirements.

The following figure illustrates the video flow using NAS, DAS, and storage-area

network (SAN).

Figure 1 Milestone XProtect Corporate architecture

Video is initiated at the camera and XProtect initially places that video in the Live DB.

Milestone recommends a retention period of from 2 to 24 hours for video in the Live

DB, as outlined in Retention periods.

XProtect moves video files at rest from the Live DB storage tier to the Archive DB

storage tier at regular intervals. The Archive DB stores each video file until that file’s

full retention time has expired.

Live DB

XProtect’s Live DB write algorithm is optimized for block storage. Therefore, the Live

DB works best with the server’s internal DAS, or with external FC or iSCSI storage

arrays such as the VNX, VSS, and VNXe series.

Internal DAS storage is ideal for small implementations with a few servers. As an

installation grows, the need to optimize storage for reliability, scalability,

manageability, and rack space increases. In larger environments, and in virtualized
