According to the company, Cozaint Marcia represents a significant leap forward in the video surveillance storage market. Traditional solutions often require expensive, disk-only storage infrastructure, leading to high costs and complex management. Marcia disrupts this model by leveraging a managed tiered storage infrastructure.

This innovative approach intelligently stores video data across various storage tiers, optimising cost-efficiency without compromising accessibility. Marcia abstracts the backend storage hardware from the front-end VMS solution, allowing for seamless, fully integrated, and managed online/offline storage while allowing for easy video playback for many VMS solutions.

“We are thrilled to introduce Marcia, a software solution that empowers integrators to unlock the full potential of video surveillance systems,” said Jay Jason Bartlett, CEO of Cozaint. “With Marcia, organisations can finally overcome the burden of high storage costs while ensuring they have a clear and readily accessible record of their video data.”

Marcia is already available for these organisations using Network Optix’s Nxwitness, Digital Watchdog Spectrum IPVMS, Hanwha Wisenet Wave, Cook Security Piko VMS, and Cozaint’s Bobbyvms video management software systems. Other VMS models are set to be supported soon.

Marcia also offers support for multi-tiered storage such as traditional NAS and SAN disk-based storage solutions as well as LTO Libraries from vendors such as Dell Powervault, HPE LTO Storage (formerly HP StorageWorks), IBM LTO System Storage, Fujitsu Eternus, Oracle Storagetek, Overland Storage NEO, Qualstar Q Series, and others.
