Bosch DSA E-Series E2800 12-Bay 96 TB HDD – iSCSI Surveillance Storage

Experience next‑level digital video storage for security deployments with the Bosch DSA E-Series E2800 12‑bay system. Engineered for demanding surveillance environments, this iSCSI-based storage appliance delivers scalable capacity, robust reliability, and streamlined management to help security teams capture, store, and access vast amounts of high‑definition footage. The E2800 combines Bosch’s commitment to video quality with a purpose‑built storage platform designed to support long retention periods, fast retrieval, and smooth integration into existing IP networks. Whether you’re deploying a single site of multiple camera channels or building a distributed, multi‑site surveillance solution, the E2800 is built to handle relentless data growth while maintaining operational efficiency and data integrity.

  • High-capacity, 12‑bay chassis: The DSA E2800 is designed to house up to 96 TB of HDD storage in a compact, enterprise‑grade enclosure. This capacity is ideal for security environments that require extended retention windows, high frame rates, and robust archival capabilities. The 12 bays enable you to configure a mix of drives to balance performance, capacity, and redundancy while accommodating future expansion without major overhauls.
  • iSCSI‑based storage for seamless security workflows: As an iSCSI‑based digital video disk array, the E2800 integrates smoothly with Bosch video management systems, network video recorders, and IP cameras. It delivers block-level storage over standard IP networks, enabling centralized storage management and efficient data distribution across surveillance workflows, archives, and ongoing investigations.
  • Designed for reliability in 24/7 environments: The E-Series platform prioritizes uptime for security operations. With components engineered for continuous operation and intelligent monitoring capabilities, the E2800 helps minimize downtime and supports mission‑critical video retention strategies. The enclosure is built to withstand long‑term use in demanding environments, helping departments meet compliance and forensic requirements.
  • Advanced data management for rapid retrieval: Beyond simply storing footage, this Bosch solution emphasizes data organization, indexing, and searchability. The E2800 enables faster incident response through efficient metadata handling, quick access to specific time windows, and streamlined playback workflows, even when dealing with large surveillance archives.
  • Intuitive management and scalable deployment: With Bosch’s management tools and remote monitoring capabilities, administrators can deploy, monitor, and maintain the E2800 across multiple sites. The system supports centralized configuration, alerting, and health reporting, helping security teams stay ahead of storage bottlenecks and ensuring consistent performance as camera counts grow.

How to Install Bosch DSA E-Series E2800 12-Bay 96 TB HDD

  • Plan and position: Determine the appropriate rack location, ensuring adequate ventilation and clearance for hot‑swap bays and cable management. Confirm that power and network connections meet site requirements before deployment.
  • Rack mount the appliance: Secure the DSA E2800 into a compatible server rack or cabinet, following standard rack installation procedures and utilizing any provided mounting hardware.
  • Connect power and network: Connect the unit to a reliable power source with appropriate surge protection. Attach network cables to the iSCSI network segment designated for storage traffic, ensuring proper VLANs or QoS as needed for your security environment.
  • Install drives and initialize storage: If drives are not pre‑installed, insert compatible HDDs into the 12 bays. Power on the unit and use the Bosch management interface to initialize the drives, configure RAID or storage pools, and set up initial volumes for surveillance data.
  • Configure iSCSI targets and LUNs: In the management console, create iSCSI targets and assign LUNs to hosts or NVRs. Map the LUNs to the security devices that will access the storage, ensuring proper access control and zoning if required by the network design.
  • Integrate with surveillance software: Connect the DSA E2800 to Bosch video management or NVR systems, define storage policies, retention periods, and backup strategies. Validate that footage streams write correctly to the new storage and that playback and search functions operate as expected.
  • Monitor and tune: Enable health monitoring, alerts, and SNMP traps. Review performance metrics regularly and adjust bandwidth, caching, and RAID write policies to maintain optimal playback quality and archival efficiency.
