Question

Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to do video recording?

We have a camera that can record and then stream live video to a server. So this means we can have 1000’s of cameras sending data 24X7 for recording. We will store data for over 7 / 14 / 30 days depending on the package.

• Per day if a camera is sending data to the server then it will store 1.5GB.
• So that means there is a traffic of 1.5GB / day / camera
• Total monthly 45GB / month / camera (Data + bandwidth for one camera)

Please let me know the most cost effective way to get this data stored?

Thanks!

Sun has a lovely product optimized for this kind of thing, with a large Flash or RAM cache between big storage and the rest of the world.
