Rasilient: Enabling Forensic-Grade Surveillance

In 2001, Rasilient co-founders saw a problem. They realized that IT data and video data have completely different characteristics. Traditional data storage architecture simply wasn’t built to keep up with the workload of video surveillance systems. It still isn’t. So, they set out to design technologies that were purpose-built for surveillance. Since then, they have developed solutions uniquely catered to deployments of all shapes and sizes. Today, they are known around the world for their surveillance-optimized, patented technologies that deliver the ultimate performance and reliability—as well as their dedication to providing enterprise-grade surveillance platforms that can scale and adapt to your needs, with the lowest CAPEX and OPEX.

A lot has changed, since they started. But one thing hasn’t: Rasilient's relentless commitment to customer support. They will walk with you every step of the way, because they believe in their technology—but they build their business around problem solving. Rasilient delivers solutions not just equipment.

Rasilient designs its own technologies to optimize surveillance system performance. Its patented technologies transmit every frame of video with no recording gaps across continents, using commonly available Internet or wireless broadband services—prioritizing information integrity and guaranteeing seamless, reliable system performance. And their hardware is built to be redundant, hot swappable, scalable, interoperable, and endlessly customizable to meet the unique needs of every deployment.

"I’m really impressed with how Rasilient handled the issues we had. I understand how difficult it can be dealing with tough or difficult individuals but you were excellent at it. You were supportive and flexible, and were able to quickly develop viable solutions for us especially in our Emirates and cash centers locations. Keep it going!" said Tarek Alosh, Manager of Transguard Group.

Financial institutions understand the critical nature of security systems. These entities oversee countless transactions every day, which makes securing them against threats a top priority. At Rasilient, the team integrates the technology with two things in mind: reliability and scalability. The company's storage solutions are optimal for multi-branch deployments. Architected with AI-based software to monitor drive health, the company engineers its systems to be fully redundant to guard against system failures—all to reduce operational costs and ensure peace of mind for end users.

Keeping schools safe is no small task, especially when most campuses house thousands of students and can span many acres. For traditional surveillance storage systems, this influx of video footage can present sizable challenges. Rasilient’s storage systems, however, are built to scale easily, in order to adapt to any size deployment. The company decouples its processing power and storage capacity to maximize rack space and accommodate a system’s changing needs. On top of this, all the systems are designed to be fully redundant in order to protect against the possibility of system hardware failure. Rasilient strives to offer schools and universities the best possible products to optimize surveillance system performance and minimize costs.

"Rasilient designs its own technologies to optimize surveillance system performance."

Government entities require reliable and efficient standards-based surveillance systems to oversee the mechanisms that keep our world safe—that makes integrating powerful and purpose-built video storage architectures essential. At Rasilient, the team builds its storage architecture with scalability in mind, so the systems can easily expand to meet the unique needs of any deployment. Unlike other storage system providers, they decouple processing power and storage to enable each system to scale to match its needs exactly. All systems are designed to be fully redundant to guard against system hardware failures. The company's commitment to no frames dropped (NFDTM) means there are no recording gaps and round-the-clock performance, whatever the size of the surveillance system.

Whether responsible for extraction and production, transmission and transportation, or processing and refinement—remote oil and gas operations can be a challenge to monitor and secure. At Rasilient, they understand these organizations’ needs and engineer technology that reliably transmits forensic-grade surveillance video over commonly available broadband and wireless services. The company's robust, scalable system design is ideal for remote, multi-site deployments. All systems are built to be fully redundant to guard against system hardware failures, and the company's solutions are designed to be open platform enabling them to easily integrate with existing technology—making partnering with Rasilient an easy decision.
