Avaya Fabric Connect Boosts Simplicity and Scalability of IP Video Surveillance Deployments for Enterprises - Seite 2

Downtown Grand Las Vegas is one of the newest casinos in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas and security is a top priority to minimize fraud and ensure the safety of patrons. Their video surveillance system had to comply with stringent Gaming regulations. Fabric Connect provides the high performance infrastructure needed for IP video surveillance with the assurance of 'round the clock availability.

Dubai World Trade Center is one of the largest exhibition venues in the world and they turned to Avaya Fabric Connect to provide a network to support a range of different services. Instead of building out a separate surveillance network, they were able to leverage the virtualization capabilities of Avaya Fabric Connect, to secure and isolate their video surveillance traffic over the converged infrastructure. Not only were they able to eliminate their surveillance bandwidth problems, making it easier to comply with public safety requirements but they were also able to set up services in a fraction of the time that it used to take.

Designed to simplify any IP video surveillance deployment (analog, IP, hybrid, unicast, multicast, etc.), Avaya Fabric Connect eliminates network-wide provisioning practices and substitutes it with very simple end point provisioning with only one or two lines of command. Provision only the ports attached to the cameras and the monitoring stations / receivers -- without having to provision any of the core switches in between. This allows video surveillance networks to be deployed faster and easier than ever before -- with the ability to add, move and change cameras on the fly. 

Quotes 

"After we installed the Avaya network, our massive video surveillance problems went away. Since then things have been essentially flawless. What we learned from our experience is that IP video and its demands on multicasting are not what IT and network administrators typically understand about multicasting. The realization was that placing video surveillance on a traditional network is like dumping Los Angeles-style traffic on a much smaller city's roads! Now that the video surveillance system is working so well and we know we have consistently high performance with always-on reliability through the Avaya network, we are actively looking at many more things we can do with it, our system has a level of scalability and flexibility that allows us to consider a multitude of new projects without concern about whether or not the system can handle them."
