Avigilon APP-2100-160-SFP Alta A2100 160TB Cloud-Managed Storage Appliance
Overview
The APP-2100-160-SFP is Avigilon's Alta A2100 storage appliance configured with 160TB of net usable capacity, built to sit behind Alta-managed camera deployments where cloud device management meets on-prem video retention. It solves the retention problem for mid-to-large camera counts: rather than sizing a general-purpose NVR, you're deploying purpose-built storage that scales with the Alta platform and hands off video management to the cloud layer. Fits deployments needing local recording depth without a standalone VMS server rack.
Compatibility
Built for the Avigilon Alta ecosystem — pairs with Alta-managed camera lines registered to the same Alta site, supporting up to 100 cameras per appliance. Network uplink runs through two 10Gb SFP28 ports, so plan for switching hardware with SFP28 transceivers or compatible DAC cabling; this isn't a standard RJ-45 gigabit connection, and mixing in 10GBase-T requires the right transceiver on your switch side. Because camera assignment and health monitoring run through Alta's cloud console, this appliance is not a fit for isolated on-prem VMS deployments outside the Alta platform.
Installation Notes
Two 10Gb SFP28 network ports mean rack placement should account for switch port availability at that speed tier — confirm your PoE switch or aggregation switch has SFP28 (or compatible SFP+) uplinks before ordering cabling. Power cables are included, which removes one sourcing step during rack-and-stack. Plan rack space and power budget alongside the camera count you're provisioning against the 100-camera ceiling; appliances nearing that limit benefit from confirming bandwidth headroom on both SFP28 links before go-live.
