Cozaint has introduced the Marcia platform at GSX in Atlanta to allow for extended video storage. The system integrates with Milestone Xprotect to automatically replicate recorded data for long-term use.
Why it matters
The platform enables enterprises to maintain historical video footage beyond standard overwrite cycles for legal defense, compliance, and future AI analysis. This addresses critical storage limitations for organizations requiring data beyond typical 90-day windows.
The platform automates the background replication of recorded video to LTO-based storage within minutes of capture. It functions without interrupting standard Xprotect recording workflows.
The players
Cozaint
Cozaint is a technology company that specializes in physical security and video storage solutions for enterprise clients.
Milestone Systems
Milestone Systems is a global provider of open-platform video management software used in various enterprise security environments.
The details
Marcia continuously copies video data from the primary Milestone Xprotect management software to external LTO-based long-term archives. This process runs in the background, ensuring normal recording operations remain uninterrupted while extending the availability of historical footage.
Timeline
Cozaint launched the Marcia platform during the GSX event in September 2026.
The Tech Race
The integration of Linear Tape-Open (LTO) storage technology marks a significant shift in how enterprises manage archival data to maintain security compliance. By moving beyond traditional hard drive-based cycles, this approach directly addresses the industry's 30-year struggle to optimize storage costs while keeping massive data sets available.
Enterprise security managers can now maintain video evidence for investigations or compliance audits that previously would have been deleted. This capability reduces the technical burden of manually exporting data to clear space for new recordings.
The takeaway
Organizations should evaluate their data retention policies to determine if long-term storage is necessary for future liability protection. Automating these archival processes can significantly improve institutional readiness for unforeseen legal or security incidents.
