QuestionQ11

AI Infrastructure Deployment and Data Management

A nationwide grocery chain has deployed Unified Edge across all locations. Every store has 10 or more surveillance cameras, each writing approximately 1 GB per hour. The surveillance-retention policy requires keeping 2 weeks of recordings for each camera.

Which type of cost-effective centralized storage solution must be evaluated with Unified Edge devices to meet this policy?

Explanation

IP-based shared storage supplies scalable, centrally managed capacity over standard Ethernet/IP networks for the large, continuous video volumes produced across distributed stores. It avoids the specialized fabric infrastructure and higher cost associated with Fibre Channel or InfiniBand, while local storage is not a centralized solution. Cisco describes Unified Edge as an edge platform that combines storage with networking and centralized management.
