Cozaint has unveiled Marcia, a software platform designed to disrupt the video surveillance storage market by addressing the high costs and complex management associated with traditional disk-only storage solutions. The platform leverages a managed tiered storage infrastructure to optimize cost-efficiency while maintaining data accessibility. According to Jay Jason Bartlett, CEO of Cozaint, the solution empowers integrators to overcome the burden of high storage costs while ensuring clear and accessible video records.
Marcia intelligently stores video data across various storage tiers, abstracting backend storage hardware from front-end VMS solutions for seamless integration. This enables managed online/offline storage and easy video playback for multiple VMS platforms, including Network Optix's NxWitness, Digital Watchdog Spectrum IPVMS, Hanwha Wisenet Wave, Cook Security Piko VMS, and Cozaint's BOBBYvms. Key benefits include dramatically reduced storage costs, simplified video management, scalability for growth, and reliable, cost-effective storage backing for surveillance systems.
The platform's versatility makes it suitable for diverse applications such as A.I./video analytics, college campuses, hospitals, casinos, and enterprises. Organizations can use Marcia to gain insights into customer behavior, enhance security measures, improve campus safety, ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance, provide secure environments, and protect assets while monitoring critical operations. By addressing storage inefficiencies, Marcia represents a significant advancement in making video surveillance systems more affordable and manageable for various sectors.
