Rising costs and mountains of data make the protection of data a daunting challenge. In this session learn about best practices for backup and archive, costs of disk and tape, tape encryption, how to utilize disk and tape to address objectives and the exciting new LTO-5 tape technology, review the updated LTO roadmap and the new Linear Tape File System which can allow the use of tape in a fashion like disk or other removable media!

The latest high-power Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology delivers up to 60W of safe power over a single Ethernet cable, across longer distances, to a broader range of security gear ranging from access control systems to full outdoor solutions with heaters. PoE eliminates costly AC outlet installation, enabling devices to be deployed in difficult-to-reach locations. It also simplifies equipment resetting/repositioning and backup-power delivery, and enables remote detection/shut-down of faulty security devices before they cause damage. This presentation describes high-power PoE’s benefits in reference applications at institutions such as universities and banks, and offer tips for simplifying deployment and maintenance while maximizing network energy efficiency.

A hurricane completely destroyed our data center! Fortunately, 100% of our data was saved the previous night on tape off-site. We now use a very comprehensive and strategic blend of disk, virtualization, and LTO tape to manage performance, data growth, data protection and costs. Learn how we do it!

An introduction to Ekahau’s Real Time Location Solution, reviewing the market drivers and financial benefits of this technology. Discover the advantages of deploying a single architecture software solution. This session will demonstrate the technical and functional deliverables, whilst evaluating the return on investment from an existing client.

"Most network managers are aware that 80% of network outages are caused by change. What they don't know is perhaps even more simple :- When a change is made, was it in keeping with best practices?- Did the change introduce a gremlin that will cause an outage in a few days' time ?- Regardless of whether it was a 'good quality' change or not, what was the impact - did it actually make things better, or worse?"

Knowsley College now has a pure IP-Surveillance system which provides 100% coverage of both campuses and offers a platform flexible enough to take advantage of new technology developments such as the H.264 compression standard, megapixel cameras and intelligent analytics capabilities including ANPR and facial recognition. Return on the £500,000 total investment will be achieved in less than six years, as this IP-based solution can be maintained by the college’s own IT department – if the existing analog-based CCTV system had been extended, maintenance would have needed to be outsourced at a cost of £72,000 per year.

Connected building planning requires tightly integrated, well-coordinated cross-functional communication and project management across four functional phases: organisational alignment, technology strategies, network design considerations, and financial analysis. By optimising the planning process at each phase, stakeholders can develop a property that enables flexibility for corporate and commercial use, achieves greater operational efficiencies, and contributes to sustainability and security initiatives.
The UPI approach to physical infrastructure design helps stakeholders manage the risk within the physical infrastructure by intelligently converging physical and logical systems to build a smarter, unified business foundation.

This white paper describes the methods of sending video and audio over an IP network whilst minimising network bandwidth. We show how full HD 1080P video or PC screen images at SXGA resolution can be sent real time over a standard ethernet IP network using only a few megaBits/ second of bandwidth. Applications including IP cameras for CCTV surveillance or desktop virtualisation, viewing screens remotely with full motion video and audio. The white paper discusses how the latest compression technology H264 is used to make Video over IP a practical solution in a companies IT infrastructure or over the internet.

The TV market is moving rapidly towards high-definition television, HDTV. This change brings truly remarkable improvements in image quality and color fidelity. HDTV provides up to five times higher resolution and twice the linear resolution compared with traditional, analog TV. Furthermore, HDTV comes with wide screen format and DVD-quality audio.

This development is now starting to have an impact on the video surveillance market, as customers ask for higher image quality standards. The possibility of clearer, sharper images is a long sought quality in the surveillance industry, i.e. in applications where objects are moving or accurate identification is vital.It can be argued that some of these requirements can be met with megapixel network cameras. However the notion of “megapixel” is not a recognized standard but rather an adaptation of the industry’s best practices and it refers specifically to the number of image sensor elements of the digital camera. With high resolution follows huge amounts of image data, which more often than not leads to compromises on frame rate. A megapixel camera alone is therefore not synonymous with high image quality. In contrast, a network camera that complies with any of the given HDTV standards is guaranteed to provide a certain resolution, frame rate and color fidelity, thereby ensuring video quality at all times.
