Experts explore the pros and cons to processing and storage at the edge, in the cloud, and the advantage to taking a hybrid approach to cloud architecture.
Ahead, experts weigh in on who’s ready for the cloud, which verticals are hesitant to go, and how integrators can leverage cloud architecture to build RMR. Additionally, Cassie Griffin, president and founder, Griffin Security and Technology, Columbus, Miss., shares a story of utilizing cloud-based solutions to meet an end user’s unique needs.
There are certain verticals that naturally gravitate towards or away from cloud, but that is changing as the technology advances and becomes more trusted by end users. “In my opinion, I think cloud adoption spans most verticals and most industries in today’s world,” Adam Lowenstein, America’s product director, i-PRO Americas, Houston says. “I think one way you could classify it is by size of deployment. I think what we typically see, which is not the rule, is a smaller camera deployment tends to be more cloud VMS attached. I think part of that is because when you look at total cost of ownership for the solution, when you get into a large-scale system — a sophisticated system, a multi-site system — I won’t say that cloud can’t handle it, but I do think that’s where you start to see more of an argument for an on-prem solution.”
