Q. What is the core value proposition of the Cisco Video Surveillance Manager solution?
A. Cisco physical security solutions provide broad network-centric capabilities in video surveillance, IP cameras, electronic access control, and groundbreaking technology that converges voice, data, and physical security in one modular appliance. The Cisco connected physical security solution enables customers to use the IP network as an open platform to build more collaborative and integrated physical security systems while preserving their existing investments in analog-based technology. As customers converge their physical security infrastructures and operations and begin using the IP network as the platform, they can gain significant value through rapid access to relevant information and interoperability between other IP-centric systems. This creates a higher level of situational awareness and allows intelligent decisions to be made more quickly. Cisco enables customers to build cost-effective, modular physical security solutions that are both best-in-class and interoperable. Cisco physical security products support the company's vision of a single unified security product suite that enables integration with all security operations within the IP network, and with many non security applications. Using the network as an open, scalable platform for integrating security provides businesses with several benefits, such as operational flexibility, greater protection capabilities, lower cost of ownership, and reduced risk.
Q. What type of storage interfaces is supported on the Physical Security Multiservices Platform (MSP) and the external storage system (SS)?
A. The media server has an internal storage on the MSP platform, and connectivity is through an IDE host interface. The MSP platform also supports an optional Fibre Channel interface to the external storage system. The iSCSI interface is currently not supported.
