Security & Traffic Video Surveillance with Software Defined Multicast
Streamline surveillance operations across camera platforms with cloudSwXtch.
Camera Network Use-Cases & Benefits
Seamless Multicast Overlay for Existing IP Networks
cloudSwXtch enables scalable SD-multicast in existing IP-based virtualized environments without impacting the underlying router configuration or security posture.
Scalable Multicast for Hybrid and Public Cloud
cloudSwXtch supports scalable software defined multicast across hybrid and public cloud, enabling remote monitoring for 10 to +10,000 cameras.
Government, Defense, Stadium Management, and countless sectors depend on massive video surveillance systems to ensure security and operational efficiency. Challenges in cloud deployments typically result in expensive workarounds. cloudSwXtch makes this simple!

​
Cloud
Agnostic
Run cloudSwXtch in any private or public cloud, across availability zones and regions.
​
Generalized System Requirements
swXtch.io’s architecture is simple and ensures reliable, multicast-enabled video monitoring in the cloud.
Example 1:
Seamless Multicast Overlay for Existing IP Networks
1. On-Premises Cameras: Cameras send video feeds over multicast to private WAN or public internet.
​​​
2. swXtch Bridges: Redundant swXtch Bridges (4-core hardware) subscribe to the multicast feed and in turn, tunnel packets to the cloudSwXtch clusters in the cloud.
​​
3. cloudswXtch Cluster: A cluster of cloudSwXtches scales as needed to support fanout requirements.
​
4. Cloud Integration: The tunneled packets are distributed evenly across multiple cloudSwXtches (8-core VMs) in the cloud, overcoming network limitations.
​​
5. Redundant Distribution: Video feeds are delivered via red and blue High Availability paths to any endpoints (multiviewers, AI workloads, and archiving systems), ensuring continuous flow.
Example 2:
Scalable Multicast for Hybrid and Cloud-Based Remote Monitoring
1. On-Premises Cameras: Cameras sending video feed over multicast and/or unicast to an on-prem facility.
2. swXtch Bridges: Feed is routed to swXtch Bridges present in the data center. There are two swXtch Bridges for redundancy subscribed to the same feed over multicast.
​
3. Cloud Integration: swXtch Bridges tunnel the packets and send it reliably over any connection to the cloud for processing. Only subscribed streams distributed to cloud, which saves bandwidth utilization.
​​
4. Redundant Distribution: The cloudSwXtches in the cloud then send the video feed to the multi-viewers and AI workloads via redundant red and blue paths using the high availability feature to ensure a continuous flow.
Simplify, Save, and Succeed
swXtch.io boosts ROI for cloud-based video monitoring by maintaining existing resourcing and security posture while reducing bandwidth overhead through selective camera feed viewing and multicast distribution - whether running your on-prem or cloud network. It also unifies workloads on a single architecture, scales across camera types, and integrates with OpenShift, Kubernetes, and bare-metal clouds. cloudSwXtch future-proofs legacy multicast investments!
