Highlights
High level data safety: redundant design and RAID NVR
In order to keep the system working with highest safety level, NVR516 provides redundant power supply in case of electricity failure. For data storage, NVR516 provides different redundant arrays of independent disks like RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10. Even if one of the HDD is broken by chance, NVR can prevent the data missing and rebuild RAID within a short time. In the Carrefour Hypermarket solution, 3 pieces of NVR516 are used, out of which 2 are used for storage, and the third one is regarded as back-up NVR, which ensures the whole system remains running in the most stable and reliable way.
Ease of use: User-friendly EZStation system
