i-PRO IPS-SRV-UDE-240TB UDE Hybrid Server/Storage for T1 Sites
The IPS-SRV-UDE-240TB is a tier-1 capacity UDE (Unified Data Environment) hybrid appliance with 240 TB of recording storage. It is sized for large agencies — significant body-worn camera populations, in-car fleets, and substantial fixed surveillance — running on a single consolidated platform. Tier-1 capacity supports longer retention and higher concurrent ingest rates appropriate to multi-precinct or county-level deployments.
Key Features
- UDE tier-1 appliance pre-loaded with i-PRO evidence and VMS stack
- 240 TB of usable hybrid storage
- Sized for large law-enforcement and public-safety agencies
- Concurrent body-worn, in-car, and fixed-surveillance ingest
- Rack-mount form factor with redundant cooling
- Hardware-accelerated H.265 decoding for live monitoring
- Compatible with STIG / FedRAMP hardening guidance on supported platforms
Tier-1 agencies have unique challenges that smaller-tier hardware cannot meet. End-of-shift docking concentrates ingest into narrow time windows, court-discovery requests pull on historical retention, and chain-of-custody audits require reliable metadata indexing. The 240 TB tier carries longer retention windows or higher concurrent ingest rates than smaller UDE platforms, with the same evidence-management and audit features.
Right-size based on actual retention policy, fleet size, and typical evidence-clip workload using i-PRO's pre-sales sizing tools. Plan power (redundant feeds), cooling (significant heat output under sustained ingest), and network uplink (sized for peak dock-window throughput) appropriately. Configure an off-site or air-gap backup target for long-term chain-of-custody integrity; large UDE deployments are exactly the situation where a backup failure causes the most operational pain.
