Quantum Corporation, a Multi-Award Winner in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to announce its Unified Surveillance Platform (USP) 5.0 has been Nominated in their Fifth ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.
Federal agencies manage some of the world’s largest video surveillance data sets.
They are constantly refreshing their servers, requiring storage platforms that can keep up with the massive amounts of surveillance data being ingested and archived while also providing the highest level of security.
Data captured by video surveillance cameras puts tremendous demands on infrastructures, driving the need for scalability, resilience, and high performance, particularly for mission-critical Federal video surveillance meant to keep citizens safe.

To assist these agencies struggling with the modernization of IT infrastructure, Quantum has introduced USP 5.0, the latest version of Quantum’s Unified Surveillance Platform, offering a more simplified user experience and enhanced monitoring from a single source.
The software uses patented video data reduction techniques to record and store video data at the highest performance with the least amount of hardware required, allowing federal organizations to host over 10,000 cameras on one system.
Further, the update can record thousands of video streams simultaneously at maximum uptime with fewer servers required, reducing the risk of hardware failure and data center footprint by up to 80%.
The advancement has transformed the original video surveillance and analytics storage platform into a more resilient, reliable, and intelligent infrastructure.
The USP 5.0 patented software approach to data protection and automatic failover across the entire cluster delivers the highest uptimes, all but eliminating data loss or downtime due to a failed component or traditional NVR server.
Through USP 5.0, federal agencies have continuous access to surveillance data regardless of hardware failures, extensive data set sizes, and retention timelines.
The ability to seamlessly access and manage video surveillance data is prominent throughout the deployment of USP 5.0.
Quantum’s commitment to providing the highest level of unstructured data archiving and management in the most mission-critical environments comes to life in USP 5.0.
USP has the advantage of running multiple physical security applications on one unified infrastructure.
A USP cluster can include computing and GPUs for running analytics and AI workloads and flash or disk storage to meet the needs of any environment.
With USP, customers can go from racks of NVRs to one simple system that is easier to manage, more cost-effective, and can keep up with the rapid growth of video data.
“USP 5.0 combines the best technology from our acquisition of Pivot3’s video surveillance solutions with Quantum innovation,” explains Choon-Seng Tan, General Manager of Video Surveillance Solutions for Quantum.
“It is a modern, easy-to-manage platform for video surveillance storage, compute and graphics processing for video analytics, and can host other physical security applications.”
“We have had dozens of clients replace racks of NVR servers with this platform and achieve massive savings in costs and data center footprint since they need less hardware to support thousands of cameras and fewer staff to manage.”
