Case Study: City of Bogota improves citywide surveillance and emergency response with Quantum VS-HCI

City of Bogota cuts space, power and cooling needs by up to 40% with Quantum

The City of Bogota faced a significant challenge in managing its outdated and fragmented video surveillance system, which consisted of non-operational cameras from various brands with no centralized management. To improve citizen safety, the city needed a resilient and scalable infrastructure platform capable of supporting a major expansion from 2,000 to 5,000 cameras. Quantum Corporation provided its VS-HCI Series solution to address this need.

Quantum's VS-HCI solution, built with Lenovo servers and Pivot3 software, provided a modern, centralized infrastructure with 5 PBs of initial capacity. This implementation simplified management by allowing operators to view any camera from a single location, reduced the risk of data loss, and offered modular scalability for future growth. The high-density solution also reduced space, power, and cooling requirements by up to 40%. The new system improved the city's situational awareness and is expected to enhance police response times and effectiveness.
