4 Introduction This report highlights the performance results of certification tests performed on the Scality RING running on standard x86 hardware as the active archive storage location for Milestone XProtect Video Management Software (VMS). The RING was used as the storage location for the active archive during this certification test, and the redundancy features of the solution were highlighted during the test. The Milestone Technology Partner (MTP) Certification program seeks to confirm that server, storage and network solutions provided by qualified MTP vendors meet the performance benchmarks required to support the Milestone XProtect VMS applications, and to measure the maximum performance available to Milestone customers if they choose to build a solution using certified MTP products. Certified Products Scality RING Software-Defined Storage Milestone XProtect Corporate 2016 Listed Scality products are certified for use with the entire XProtect product line. Performance of the solution may vary if different XProtect products and/or other system components not listed in the test details are included. Scality RING Software-Defined Storage for Open Platform 4 Scality - MTP Certification Technical Summary
5 Key Findings The Scality RING performs as a video storage platform within the Milestone XProtect VMS system at a level that is 250% the benchmark levels defined by the Milestone Server and Storage Calculator. The Milestone calculator indicates that the storage configuration and infrastructure used for these tests should support 19 cameras at the benchmark level. Testing revealed that the system was able to support a maximum of 50 cameras. The maximum number of cameras was defined by the hardware s capability to support running video feed simulator. But the Scality RING did not limit scaling of capacity for the storage archive. The RING has a proven, scale-out architecture, so it can continue to scale performance and capacity linearly as the system grows. The system performs at a high level of data throughput, and consistent read/write latency when using the optimal logical disk configuration. The Scality RING Software-Defined Storage is a certified MTP solution. The maximum performance for the test system is listed below, in each of these scenarios there was one XProtect Recording Server installed in the system which was recording video through an iscsi connection to the video databases, located on the product. Test Scenario Storage Solution Maximum Cameras Individual Video Stream Size (Mbps) Archiving Scality RING Max Disk I/O MBps The product was also tested to provide an additional layer of redundancy in the form of dual storage controllers, which can operate in an active/standby configuration. Integrators and end users designing, installing and operating surveillance systems which incorporate these solution components can have confidence that the system will record and archive video reliably. Customers who wish to gain the maximum value and performance out of their surveillance system can also refer to the best practices and performance limitations outlined in this document to help design a system that exceeds the benchmark limitations for video recording defined by the Milestone Server and Storage Calculator. Solution Architecture The test surveillance system was configured at the Scality Lab. The system topology included one server running a Microsoft Windows x64 based Server 2012 R2 operating system hosting the XProtect Recording Server. Two VMs running a Microsoft Windows x64 based Server 2012 R2 operating system hosting the Milestone XProtect Corporate Management Server, Management Client and Smart Client. The live database storage was local on the Recording Server and Scality provided the SMB shares for Archiving storage. Each server is built with active redundant network 2x10Gbps interfaces. The topology is shown in the Figure below: 5 Scality - MTP Certification Technical Summary
6 Scality Milestone Digital Video Surveillance Reference Architecture One instance of the video feed simulator and video content files were placed on the Recording Server. In this configuration video streams are sent across the IP network to be recorded on the Scality RING storage. Placing the video stream sources within each recording server removes any potential network bottlenecks between cameras, encoders, or other video sources and the recording servers themselves. The specific configurations detailed above were chosen in order to conform to the recommended Milestone storage configuration; providing a live database and an archive database for each recording server. Milestone recommends always configuring a live and an archive database. The XProtect Recording Server was configured as a live volume. Video is initially written to the live database, and later moved to the archive database. Once the archive is full, the oldest data will be deleted and incoming data will be stored. This process causes overhead, and is required to simulate a system in long-term operations. These configurations provide the optimal rate of read/write performance. The certification has verified that this is the optimal configuration for video recording and storage performance. 6 Scality - MTP Certification Technical Summary
7 Live and archive video database sizes were of 1 terabyte and 500 gigabytes respectively, and were used to support an efficient testing process. Increasing these sizes in operational video surveillance deployments will not impact performance results. Test Process After installation and configuration of all required system components, the first step in the test was to establish a benchmark performance level against which to measure the performance of the system under more data-intensive levels of video recording. Once the benchmark was established, the system would remain in operation at this level long enough to completely fill the archive video database. At this point the test process calls for increasing the parameters of the video streams to add more data to each stream and each recording server, including the number of cameras, the video codec format, resolution, framesper-second, and compression levels. The process of increasing the parameters involved adding additional simulated cameras to the Recording Server. This process used typical 1280x720 (1-megapixel) resolution streams, with compression of 60% and frame rate of 30 frames per second (FPS). As far as codec options: H.264 was chosen as the only codec with which all tests would be performed due to the overwhelming utilization of this codec in new IP video surveillance installations. The performance was monitored as the number of cameras was increased until we reached an unacceptable level of write latency, CPU consumption, archive event duration, or video frame loss. At that point the data load was reduced, and the performance was monitored again. If the system operates at the reduced level of data load within acceptable parameters, then a full data capture takes place and the maximum performance of the RING storage is defined to be at the observed levels of data and video stream parameters. Acceptable levels of operation are defined according to the following statistics: Less than 0.1% video frame loss CPU values under 70% average Archive event duration equal to live database retention (1 hour) Write latency values under 200ms In the test scenarios discussed in this document the XProtect Recording Server, which was recording video to databases located on the RING storage solution, was configured to record between 19 and 55 simulated cameras; and these cameras were all configured to record video continuously. In each of the tests we also had an XProtect Smart Client application running displaying recorded video. The number of 7 Scality - MTP Certification Technical Summary
8 streams being played back simultaneously was 19 in the benchmark test, and 25 in both the maximum and failover tests. The failover or high-availability test scenario concluded the testing on the Scality RING storage solution. This failover test scenario sought to add an additional layer of redundancy to an XProtect system by testing the failure of one storage, and the impact this would have on the recording process when the standby controller was activated. Any noticeable operational impact on the surveillance system and any measurable performance metrics captured during the failover event were both included in making a determination on the effectiveness of this feature. The physical server running the Recording Server was limited in how much data it could generate. The software and the RING storage was capable of scaling to handle more data and throughput. Configuring a larger server (faster CPU and more disks) would have helped to generate more data to maximize the utilization of bandwidth and more scalable storage. Performance and Results Summary The performance workload is determined by the available hardware, the number of cameras, image attributes, and the number of streams. Milestone s server and storage calculator was used to determine the benchmark value for the storage solution. With 15 total disks at 7,200 RPM spindle speed set in a RAID 5 configuration, the calculator indicated it would support 19 cameras at the chosen settings during the benchmark test. The video stream profile used for the calculator included H.264 as the codec, a resolution of one megapixel, 30 frames per second, and 60 percent compression. The video stream profile remained the same for all three tests. The only video data load factor which changed at all between the tests was the number of cameras. We reduced the total number of cameras used in the failover test scenario to 40 total cameras in order to ensure that the system would be operating under a predictable and easily maintained data load. This would allow the analysis of the measured data to focus on the changes brought about by the failure event, and not any stress applied to the system when under the maximum level of video recording possible. The goal of each maximum performance test was to determine the maximum amount of video data which could be recorded to the storage given the current configuration without creating a negative impact on the long term health of the surveillance system. Performance levels were determined to be at their maximum based on any one of three factors during each test scenario. If the archiving time for each process increased to over 40 minutes, the CPU utilization of the recording servers was measured consistently over 70%, if write latency was observed to be over 200ms, or there was repeated frame loss, then the test was stopped. Maximum Test Workload 50 cameras 1-megapixel resolution (1280x720) H.264 video codec 30% compression 15 frames per second 100% recording Live RAID 0 using 6 x 600GB 15,000 RPM disks (3.2 TB database) Archive Data RING 6 x 32 x 4 TB 7,200 RPM disks (690 TB Raw in COS2, ARC(9,3)) and 6 x 3 x 400 GB SSD for Metadata 8 Scality - MTP Certification Technical Summary
9 Maximum Test Workload Results Average Archive Database Write Throughput MBps Average Individual Camera Stream Size 5.2 Mbps Average Archive Connector Server CPU Utilization 3.73 % Average Ring Server CPU Utilization 4.91 % % Frames Lost 0.0% The maximum test workload above showed that the primary limiting factor in the performance of the system was the ability of the Milestone XProtect Recording Server software services to move video from the live database to the archive database as quickly as possible. There were no problems with frame loss, video latency or CPU utilization caused by the hardware or software integration. Failover Test Scenario The primary concern in this scenario is to see what impact the failure of the active controller and activation of the standby controller had on the operation and performance of the system. There were two manually induced failures which were caused during this failure test. The first was triggered by restarting the active controller about 15 minutes after the beginning of the test. The second failure event was triggered by restarting the newly active controller about 30 minutes after the first failure event. Since this event occurred in the middle of an archive process there was a spike in read latency. Also when the archive process nears completion, any additional data which had been placed into queue was recorded to disk quickly and caused an increase in recording server activity and CPU utilization. This data had clearly already made it to the recording server but hadn t had a chance to be written to the archive database since it was disrupted by the failure event. All of this data indicates that the failures had only a momentary impact on the performance of the system, and didn t cause any long-term loss of functionality. During the test the Smart Client application was also consistently displaying video, and there was no noticeable loss of video replay capability. Failover Test: 40 cameras 1-megapixel resolution (1280x720) H.264 video codec 60% compression 30 frames per second VMD recording Live RAID 5 using 6x 7,200 RPM disks Archive using the RING storage solution Failover performance results: Average Live Database Write Throughput MBps Average Individual Camera Stream Size 5.2 Mbps Average Recording Server CPU Utilization 13.62% % Frames Lost 0.004% 9 Scality - MTP Certification Technical Summary
10 Scality RING Software-Defined Storage is a Certified MTP Solution Scality RING is a certified storage platform for use with the Milestone XProtect VMS. With the chosen hard disk configuration used in the test, the RING easily supported the benchmark level of performance. The calculator indicates that the storage solution should support 19 cameras at the benchmark level, and it was able to support a maximum of 50 cameras. The performance testing determined that the Scality RING storage solution can support at least 250% the number of cameras as recommended by the calculator.
