Milestone entry-level VMS now in Veracity servers

Veracity, manufacturers of Coldstore, the surveillance industry's first sequential storage system, announces Coldstore Arcus, a video surveillance platform for security installations requiring simple live view and forensic playback capabilities with no need for intricate feature sets or complex system architecture. This solution is a pre-integrated product powered by Milestone Arcus VMS that is embedded in the Coldstore hardware - ready to plug in, power on and operate.

Veracity's Coldstore technology is a sequential storage system specifically designed for video surveillance storage. Milestone Systems' newly-announced Milestone Arcus is an embedded VMS offering for integration into technology partners' hardware platforms. Milestone Arcus and Coldstore are an ideal match, combining in a single-box solution which supports all IP camera types. Coldstore Arcus provides capacity of up to 60TB of video data storage and resource-effective power consumption of only 1 watt per terabyte.

The advanced sequential storage technology in Coldstore allows the use of any consumer hard drive to provide up to 60TB of high-reliability storage across 15 drive bays. The entire system operates on less than 66 watts, requires no external cooling and creates a significant differentiator in today's security market.

Veracity's Coldstore Arcus offers a streamlined video management tool and storage system that does not require a separate VMS server. Coldstore Arcus will be sold by Veracity's channel partners. Milestone Systems will provide future upgrades through ongoing releases of the software.

Milestone chose to partner with Veracity due to the innovative video storage approach implemented by Coldstore. Engineers from both companies have worked closely together to exploit the key product advantages so the end result will be a radical departure from today's traditional client/server/storage architecture.
