Vess A-Series
Open Storage Platform for Video Surveillance
The Vess A-Series storage appliances are custom built to offer the highest levels of performance for IP video surveillance. Promise is active in all of the key video surveillance segments and is able to provide a solution for deployments of any size.
Reduces costs and complexity
Vess Storage Appliances reduce 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. Additionally, Vess Storage Appliances reduce interoperability conflicts caused when integrating different hardware.
Certified by surveillance partners
Vess A series storage appliances are fully compatible with a range of IP cameras and VMS from vendors including Aimetis, Axxonsoft, CamIQ, CSVi, Digifort, Genetec, OnSSI, SeeTec, Sony and Milestone.
Highly integrated with smooth scalability
An SDK library is provided for VMS UI and management integration. Plus, Vess supports the Milestone VMS plug-in enabling it to be managed via the XProtect interface. Additionally, you can easily expand via iSCSI by adding Promise external storage.
SMARTBOOST™ Technologies
A collection of unique features designed to provide the highest level of service and overcome performance bottlenecks to allow Vess Storage Appliances to handle a higher number of IP cameras than competing solutions.
Predictive Playback – utilizes idle recording times to monitor read patterns to predict where the next playback will be needed so the hard disk drives are not competing with the workload of the system.
Remote Active Service – takes all worries away by proactively detecting when PSU, controllers or HDDs are going into critical condition and automatically notifying user the hardware status. A huge advantage in installations with site restrictions, such as banking, as it not only saves maintenance costs but also the headaches caused when outside support personnel need access to restricted areas.
Sequential Pattern Recordingg – eliminates the heavy workloads caused by random write patterns as this feature monitors recording patterns and collects data in the cache buffer and only writes data to the drives once a full stripe is ready. This creates a sequential recording pattern which offers the smoothest performance.
Vess R2600 Series
High-availability dual controller NAS
Service interruptions can cripple a business. With the Vess R2600 Series, customers have a cost effective, dual controller, high-availability NAS-in-a-box, which ensures uninterrupted services. Conventional single controller based NAS solutions cannot always provide uninterrupted services. In order to achieve high-availability, those NAS solutions must deploy a high-availability cluster combining several devices, which is significantly more expensive.
The Vess R2000 Series is a unified storage solution that offers impressive performance while simplifying administration and adding flexibility. Choose to use an 8 Gb/s FC SAN for heavy I/O applications like video editing, high performance computing or scientific research. Use the 1 Gb/s &10 GB/s iSCSI SAN for less intensive I/O applications like data backup or remote replication. Or use NAS for video surveillance, virtualized environments or general file sharing applications.

Vess J2000 Series
When you need to expand storage, you need flexibility
As the demands for capacity expansion continue to grow for IT applications and video surveillance, it is imperative that IT administrators find cost-effective solutions. The Vess J2000 Series is a robust storage expansion platform that serves as a building block to provide high-availability and flexibility in a cost-effective package that is simple to set up and administer. The 3U-16 bay Vess models are fully expandable to meet your needs today, and tomorrow. Up to six additional expansion chassis may be added to each Vess R2000 RAID subsystem.
