As one of the fastest-growing cities in Indiana with a population of more than 100,000, the city of Fishers was struggling with rapidly increasing video data storage needs for its video security system. Milestone Systems and cloud technology partners provided Fishers with a cost-effective and scalable hybrid cloud solution that not only saves on in-house hardware and related maintenance costs, but also simplifies system use to align with the city’s cloud-first initiative.
With plans to have over 250 cameras installed across the city by the end of 2024, among the most pressing issues was the rapid growth of the city’s video data storage requirements. This was due to the increasing number of new camera installations as well as evolving long-term data storage requirements from local and state agencies. On-premises storage and related maintenance costs were becoming increasingly expensive. City officials also needed faster access to video data when required, as well as long-term, automated data archival plans.
