Use of digital and video monitoring has expanded by leaps and bounds, and has become more sophisticated for transmitting digital signals. Monitoring systems are now expected to provide megapixel quality on a 24/7 basis, whether it’s for safety, personal or business protection, crime prevention, or for other types of content analysis such as facial analysis and streaming data. When not transmitting recorded images by digital signal, the surveillance system in the analog setting functions as a monitoring tool for safety concerns. In either mode of operation, SMART Modular offers a variety of storage solutions for high-performance monitoring needs.

Challenges and Requirements

With content analysis features, video footage is now considered valuable for business optimization as well as for law enforcement purposes. Clear, clean video live-streaming and high-performance storage are critical factors for enabling accurate video identification. Surveillance monitoring operates continuously, day and night, making these factors essential for reliable operations.

Given the non-stop recording and streaming demands, the longevity and stability of both storage and memory solutions are crucial to meeting the needs of 24/7 recording workloads. Additionally, data encryption plays a key role in ensuring personal privacy in security situations and keeping sensitive data secured.

SMART's DRAM Solutions

• DDR5 Value RDIMM - SMART offers a wide lineup of DDR5 Value Memory which are cost effective Tier 1 ODM JEDEC standard modules. SMART leverages its purchasing power and valued supplier relationships to directly procure mainstream modules.

• DDR4 VLP Mini RDIMM - Blade servers are stripped-down server computers with a modular design optimized to minimize space and power. ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) standard blades and storage blades (pictured below) are for highly reliable embedded computing and storage applications and require a maximum amount of high density VLP or ULP modules.

• DDR4 MIP™ - SMART Modular’s MIP (Module-In-a-Package) is a Tiny Form Factor (TFF) memory module that combines the benefits of industry standard SODIMMs with SMART’s proprietary stacking technology. About the size of a nickel, SMART’s MIP occupies 1/5th the area of a SODIMM while offering higher performance and lower power.

SMART's Flash Solutions

• ME2 SATA SSDs - SMART’s ME2 SATA SSDs incorporate the latest generation 3D NAND-technology and SMART Modular’s proprietary NVMSentry™ firmware to deliver high performance SSD products with endurance up to one drive write per day (1 DWPD) for five years.

• BGAE640 eMMC - SMART’s BGAE640 eMMC is a soldered-down Flash storage solution that combines NAND Flash memory, an embedded MMC (MultiMediaCard) Controller, and advanced firmware in a small BGA (Ball Grid Array) package that provides stable, yet cost effective high-density embedded storage.

• RD530m microSD Memory Cards - SMART’s high-capacity RD530m microSD Memory Cards are fully microSD UHS-I SDR 104 compliant. The RD530m microSD Cards are offered in 3D TLC NAND Flash, available in capacities from 64GB to 256GB. They are specifically designed to meet strict industrial operating and environmental requirements.
