Note: This system is compatible with Lorex's optional L4202 network video server for DVR viewing and control, and is rack-mountable for multiple-device installations. About Digital Video Recorders A Digital Video Recorder (DVR) takes video signals from security cameras and converts the video stream into a digital format for storage on an internal hard drive. A DVR also provides a user interface to remotely manage many functions of the video files and cameras, including motion detection and pan/tilt/zoom features. At a minimum, a DVR should allow multiple users to view multiple cameras remotely. Effective video compression is one of the most important considerations when looking at DVRs. The most common video compression formats used in video surveillance are M-JPEG and MPEG-4. While proprietary compression technologies may provide superior quality, their lack of compatibility with Windows-based operating systems may become an issue for archival purposes. Issues of frame rate, resolution, disk size, motion detection, compression ratio, and camera noise all effect the storage capacity of a video surveillance system. High resolution is ideal to capture details, while high frame rates are needed to capture events. Frame rates of less than 20 frames per second tend to be jerky, while rates of 20 - 30 frames per second can be adequate for most surveillance needs.

The MAM Gold Archive Grade DVD-R is designed for applications requiring long-term storage of sensitive data, video or music files. The reflective layer is comprised of 24 karat gold, which allows maximum resistance to chemical breakdown -- one of the major causes of disc failure. Along with choosing the right recording dye material and bonding agent (Note: A DVD-R is made of two polycarbonate discs bonded together) the long-term stability of the reflective layer is crucial. Reflective layers using your standard silver surface are subject to oxidation (rust) over a long period of exposure to moisture. Unlike silver jewelry, a gold ring won't rust and neither will the gold reflective layer in this disc. In optical discs, the use of gold can triple the life of a standard disc. Preliminary tests show that the MAM Gold Archive Grade? DVD can last significantly longer than ordinary silver recordable DVD discs. Although tests are currently underway and results will soon be available, we can assume from our experience with gold layer CD-R that the expected life of these discs will be similar. The MAM DVD is offered as the long awaited companion to the MAM Archive Grade Gold CD-R, which has an expected lifetime of 300 years and has earned a reputation as the highest quality storage media available today. This disc has a gold MAM-A "Diamond Coat" scratch resistant surface, hub printable top surface, and a 8x recording surface. It will work with Rimage and CopyPro Thermal Printers. |

Deduplication for large scale backup and archival storage. List Price: $69.00 Sale Price: $69.00 |
|
The focus of this dissertation is to provide scalable solutions for problems unique to chunk-based deduplication. Chunk-based deduplication is used in backup and archival storage systems to reduce storage space requirements. We show how to conduct similarity-based searches over large repositories, and how to scale out these searches as the repository grows; how to deduplicate low-locality file-based workloads, and how to scale out deduplication via parallelization, data and index organization; how to build a unified deduplication solution that can adapt to tape-based and file-based workloads; and, how to introduce strategic redundancies in deduplicated data to improve the overall robustness of the system. Our scalable similarity-based search solution finds for an object, highly similar objects from within a large store by examining only a small subset of its features. We show how to partition the feature index to scale out the search, and how to select a small subset of the partitions (less than 3%), independent of object size, based on the content of query object alone to conduct distributed similarity-based searches. We show how to deduplicate low-locality file-based workloads using Extreme Binning. Extreme Binning uses file similarity to find duplicates accurately and makes only one disk access for chunk lookup per file to yield reasonable throughput. Multi-node backup systems built with Extreme Binning scale gracefully with the data size. Each backup node is autonomous---there is no dependency between nodes, making house keeping tasks robust and low overhead. We build a 'unified deduplication' solution that can adapt and deduplicate a variety of workloads. We have workloads consisting of large byte streams with high-locality, and workloads made up of files of varying sizes without any locality between them. There are separate deduplication solutions for each kind of workload, but so far no unified solution that works well for all. Our unified deduplication solution simplifies administration---organizations do not have to deploy dedicated solutions for each kind of workload---and, it yields better storage space savings than dedicated solutions because it deduplicates across workloads. Deduplication reduces storage space requirements by allowing common chunks to be shared between similar objects. This reduces the reliability of the storage system because the loss of a few shared chunks can lead to the loss of many objects. We show how to eliminate this problem by choosing for each chunk a replication level that is a function of the amount of data that would be lost if that chunk were lost. Experiments show that this technique can achieve significantly higher robustness than a conventional approach combining data mirroring and Lempel-Ziv compression while requiring about half the storage space. |
Document Archiving — the Why's Supporting Later Retrieval
Copyright (c) 2008 Bill Thomas
Do you even archive your documents, or do they just sit out there in "etherland" on somebody's hard drive where nobody knows where it is at?
You know your mind is a steel trap, but you've seen it get a little rusty when it comes to remembering some of the bizarre things you've named your files.
When it's time for a document to leave daily use and go into document archiving do you have a moment of uncertainty? I'm referring to the tiniest prick of fear that you don't know exactly where it's going and, even more important, you're not sure how or if you'll be able to retrieve it from document archiving should the need arise.
Of course, if you've ever sent a file to document archiving and lost it in the black hole of cyberspace, your fears are understandable. I pause for a moment of silent empathy.
All kidding aside, document archiving is one of the most serious challenges a company faces. If you can't be confident documents from the past can be pulled back and re-examined, and occasionally updated, you've built your organization on sand: it can't possibly stand.
The truth is, organizations are creating digitized data at an alarming rate each year. A lot of companies that started out small with just a few people using desktop pc's are now 3 or 4 years down the road and looking at 30 people merrily using desktop storage with no real electronic organizational plan.
Imagine document archiving and retrieval when ...
Mary names her files for her favorite flowers: The Johnson contract is under "pansy" because the client is kind of wimpy.
Jon's astute mind came up with a system based on car parts: Important contracts all go into the "engine" file because they keep the company going.
Karl, a Ham radio operator, uses the most complete ISO 8601time-based format for naming files, his files look like 2008-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00.
And, so it goes. With such a system there can be no real document archiving beyond just backing up everyone's entire system every night and hoping for the best. If you have to retrieve something, (god forbid), you might as well have a séance to figure out what the sought after document is called and where it is.
Document archiving requires organization, planning and agreeing on (and using) document naming conventions. Only by having everyone follow the agreed upon rules will you be able to confidently send a file to your system for document archiving and know, in your heart, you have not just deep-sixed it.
Of course, the best time to set up your naming conventions and plan for document archiving is when your company is just getting started. Too late for that? Maybe you then, appoint a hapless group of courageous volunteers to establish your naming conventions and then require staff to spend a couple hours each day revising their old files and resaving them to fit within the document archiving naming conventions - no? Or, start with one department in your company; clean stuff up and then move on - no? Using today's ASP based document management tools can help you forgo these time-sucking steps by utilizing meta data already built into each document. I'd suggest going this route - it's much more cost effective. I always try to remember that the fully loaded cost of a $40,000/yr resource will cost me about $25 to $30 an hour - some of the better systems out there only cost a $120/mo. It doesn't take too many hours of manual intervention to make that up every month.
Eventually, one way or another, you'll get them all done. A word of caution: be sure everything is backed up before you start overhauling your crazy naming system and pitching stuff that can be tossed. That way, you won't inadvertently toss out something irreplaceable.
Of course, every file going forward will need to be created to fit smoothly within the new document archiving naming conventions. This can be prompted for using some of the better ASP document management solutions. Only when a solid plan is in force can you have a prayer of continuity in document archiving within your organization: i.e. when one employee leaves the organization, the new hire can immediately pick up and have the right document in his or her hands every time. What a concept!
Once you think you have it together, strap it on and you're ready to store and retrieve. Avoid the common solution of storing your backup on tape. This is the digital age. You need to store electronically, have a ASP partner provide your document archiving via the Internet. But, whatever you decide, at least you'll have the confidence that comes from knowing that when the boss asks for the Holmes Contract from 1988, you won't have to remember that you filed it under the name of your ex-wife's mother.

DVD backup/archival copies for personal use.... when i buy a DVD i have the right to make an archival backup?
copy.. but with macrovision or whatever it is called.. how do i do it? Traveling with kids and dvd can be hazardous to the DVD... kids in general.. mine imparticular can be hazardous to a dvd.. so a personal copy that ia m entitiled to would be great... thnks...
You can do it on your pc if you have a dvd burner installed. Download clone dvd and anydvd from http://www.slysoft.com you simply install the programs on your computer.....Anydvd removes copy protection clone dvd copies the data and compresses the data to fit on a dvd 5. These programs have a 21 day trial and then you need to buy them. They will be well worth the 40 bucks each if you have a large dvd collection that you want to back up. If you have a small dvd collection you can backup all of them during the trial period.
