On-Premises Video Storage
On-premises video storage refers to the practice of storing video data on local servers and infrastructure within an organization's physical premises, rather than using cloud-based services. It involves deploying hardware such as network-attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), or dedicated video servers to manage and archive video files. This approach gives organizations direct control over their video assets, security, and data management processes.
Developers should consider on-premises video storage when working in industries with strict data privacy regulations (e.g., healthcare, finance, or government) that require local data residency, or for applications needing low-latency access to large video files, such as video editing studios or surveillance systems. It is also useful in scenarios with limited or unreliable internet connectivity, where cloud access might be impractical, or for cost control in long-term storage of high-volume video archives.
