Casino Security System

A video security systems consultant specializing in the casino industry came to us with a familiar challenge.

Casinos rely on advanced video surveillance systems to handle large amounts of high-resolution footage from a constant stream of activity. With cameras producing sharper images and more data than ever, their clients needed a storage solution that could keep up.

The consultant explained that their clients required a system that combined excellent performance with scalability. A storage solution that worked for smaller casinos needed to scale seamlessly to handle the larger demands of bigger operations. It also had to be affordable upfront while remaining flexible for future growth.

That’s where we came in.

We worked closely with the consultant to understand their specific requirements. The goal was to create a system that balanced high performance for immediate needs with the capacity to store large amounts of data over time—without overspending. After exploring the options, we proposed a hybrid storage solution based on HPE MSA SANs. This included a mix of SSDs for fast access to real-time data and traditional hard drives for cost-effective long-term storage.

The solution provided several key advantages:

1. **Modular Design**: The system’s modular structure allowed clients to start small, keeping initial costs low, and expand as their needs grew.
2. **Scalability**: As storage demands increased, the system could scale up to handle virtually unlimited growth, making it adaptable to any casino’s needs.
3. **Consistency Across Projects**: Using a standard design for both small and large casinos reduced complexity and made deployment and maintenance more efficient.

With this storage solution, the consultant was able to offer a reliable, scalable system that met their clients’ needs while staying within budget. This approach helped streamline their projects and gave their clients confidence in the performance and flexibility of their video surveillance systems.
