Intransa Video Data Management and Retention™ (VDMR) Technology

Simple Solutions For Advanced, Reliable Surveillance

The award-winning Intransa VideoAppliance™ family is designed specifically for the needs of physical security, video surveillance and industrial video. At the core of the appliance family's success is our patented Video Data Management & Retention™ (VDMR) technology.

VDMR addresses the unique needs and requirements of physical security users and applications. It blends advanced server systems with integrated, scalable storage in a simplified, affordable, and easy to install and operate package.

The result is that VDMR technology enables Intransa VideoAppliance™ to deliver complete, risk-free solutions that outperform commodity servers and storage, while reducing cost and operational challenges.

VDMR solutions can be critical for security departments in today's challenging times. Yet physical security has recently undergone many changes, with surveillance technologies taking on an ever more important role. With current global economic uncertainty, security departments, CSOs, and entire organizations are facing new mandates and are required to do more, for less, than ever before.

Problems Solved by Intransa VDMR Technology

In order to meet these requirements affordably and reliably, security departments are often turning to IP technology. Unfortunately, deploying IP effectively often requires rip-&-replacement of existing analog CCTV infrastructure, adding disruption, risk of project failure and significant cost.

And the complexity of the servers and storage required for IP deployments, instead of familiar analog DVR setup and administration processes, also is an unpleasant surprise many security departments are not prepared for.

Security departments are also forced to deal with an ever growing variety of system configurations and face resulting support challenges. This is caused in part because commodity server and storage hardware is designed for IT workloads like email and data processing, not for non-stop video recording and playback. That in turn often leads to system sizing and configuration errors, with long term negative impact on overall system performance and reliability.

Compounding the challenge, commodity storage design assumes frequent system tuning and ongoing maintenance, and when that doesn't occur, system performance degrades and may fail altogether. Combined with low performance hardware, these systems often prove not to be the best choices to protect people, facilities and investments.

These challenges and issues are all solved by deployment of Intransa VideoAppliance™, thanks to our proven, physical security-designed VDMR technology.
