End
Background:
As part of the City’s ongoing commitment to public safety and technological innovation, the Police Department and Information Technology teams are collaborating to enhance the functionality of the City’s Real-Time Information Center. A key element of this initiative is upgrading our Video Management Servers and expanding storage capacity.
Currently, our existing server and storage infrastructure cannot adequately support the growing number of live video feeds from newly installed cameras across the city. To address this, we have partnered with Dell and Pure Storage-trusted components of the City’s IT ecosystem-to scale our resources and meet future demands.
This project includes upgrading the City’s Server/Hyper-V cluster and storage infrastructure for our Axis Video Management System (VMS). Dell servers will provide the backbone for compute resources, while Pure Storage will deliver high-performance, scalable storage solutions. Together, these technologies will ensure optimal virtualization performance, rapid data access, and future-ready capacity for real-time video processing and retention.
