Technical Brief: AMD Zen5 Performance Advantage in VMS Workloads
Technical Introduction to chip design approaches in modern Video Servers Objective: To outline the architectural efficiencies of AMD Zen5 CPUs in video surveillance environments compared to legacy Intel Xeon 5th Gen and Xeon 6 platforms. Architectural Superiority: The Chiplet Advantage AMD’s Zen5 utilizes a high-density chiplet architecture combined with an expansive on-board L3 cache. This design […]
Cut Server Costs by 40%: The RAM Savings Secret Behind AMD EPYC Surveillance Servers
How 64MB of Cache Eliminates the Need for 64GB of RAM in Video Servers Why AMD EPYC 9135 Requires Less RAM Than Intel Xeon Silver 4516Y+ for Video Surveillance CPU Specifications Comparison AMD EPYC 9135 (Zen 5 Architecture) Intel Xeon Silver 4516Y+ (Emerald Rapids) How AMD’s Chiplet Architecture Reduces RAM Requirements 1. Superior Cache Hierarchy […]
Hanwha Wisenet WAVE VMS — One Install, Three Functions
What makes WAVE different from traditional VMS platforms? Most older video management systems ship as separate pieces of software: you install a recording server, then a separate management console, then a separate viewing client — often on different machines. WAVE takes a completely different approach. When you install WAVE, the server and client bundle is […]
The AI memory grab that’s choking surveillance infrastructure supply
We are all tired of hearing about AI and about supply shortages and price increases. But it’s important to understand how we got here and why AI’s appetite for memory is starving your surveillance supply chain. If you’ve noticed memory and storage getting harder to source and more expensive to buy, you’re not imagining things. The […]
The Right Windows OS for Your Video Surveillance Infrastructure
Just like Arxys does not use general purpose servers for video surveillance, we also don’t use general purpose Windows OS’s. Every Arxys server and workstation always ships with the LTSC (now known as IOT) custom version of Windows OS. Whether desktop or Server OS both have the same core benefits. LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is a […]
Convergence of Physical Security and OT Cybersecurity
Physical security systems have become deeply integrated with operational technology (OT) and enterprise IT networks. At the center of this convergence is the video server running the video management system (VMS). No longer a passive recorder, the video server is a critical OT cyber asset responsible for ingesting, processing, storing, and transmitting sensitive operational and […]
AV1 Adoption in Physical Security & Video Surveillance: Industry Impact
Codec Evolution & Technical Advantages AV1 (AOMedia Video 1) is a royalty-free, next-generation video compression standard developed by the Alliance for Open Media to address the efficiency limits and licensing complexity of H.264 and H.265. Between 2025 and 2027, AV1 transitions from early adoption into practical deployment as surveillance systems increasingly demand higher resolutions, longer retention, […]
Milestone vs. Avigilon: How H.265 Processing Reveals the Real Power of AMD EPYC Servers
Milestone vs. Avigilon: How H.265 Processing Drives Real World Performance H.265 video decoding has transformed the bandwidth and storage equation for surveillance systems — but it has also exposed the weaknesses of outdated CPU architectures. Video Management Systems (VMS) like Milestone XProtect and Avigilon Control Center (ACC) both support the H.265 CODEC, yet they handle stream processing in very different […]
Market Momentum and the changing of the guard
why the market is moving surveillance servers to AMD EPYC systems. Bottom line: prioritize Arxys VideoX EPYC-based SKUs in your server configurations. whether for H.264 or H.265-heavy and analytics-heavy deployments. Doing so gives you: See how much more you can get with Arxys VideoX V5 servers
5 Key AMD EPYC™ 9005 Features That Make VideoX V5 Video Surveillance Servers Unstoppable
Purpose-built performance for H.265, AI, and real-time analytics — so integrators can focus on delivering security, not solving server math. When you’re protecting people, assets, and operations, the last thing you want is a bottleneck in your server room. Modern surveillance systems demand huge processing power — decoding hundreds of H.264 and H.265 streams, running […]
