For "Safe City" projects involving massive video surveillance (such as 10,000+ camera streams), Huawei recommends the OceanStor Pacific series (distributed storage). Large-scale video surveillance generates immense volumes of unstructured data that must be written continuously and stored for long periods. A traditional centralized NAS or SAN often faces performance bottlenecks at the controller level when handling thousands of concurrent high-definition video streams.

OceanStor Pacific uses ascale-out architecturethat allows performance and capacity to scale linearly. For 10,000 cameras, the system can aggregate the bandwidth of dozens or hundreds of nodes, providing the high throughput required for video ingestion and the massive capacity required for long-term retention. Additionally, OceanStor Pacific supports high-ratio Erasure Coding (EC), which provides better disk utilization (up to 91%) than traditional RAID, significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for petabyte-scale surveillance archives.
