The Cozaint Doctrine
Evidence shouldn't have an expiration date.
For more than thirty years, the surveillance industry has continuously observed the world while simultaneously deleting the overwhelming majority of what it observed — not from a failure of vision, but a limitation of economics. Storage was never meant to be the objective. Continuity is. ALICE1 is Cozaint's answer for small and mid-sized businesses: a self-contained appliance that makes that same principle — record it, preserve it, retrieve it when you need it — practical and affordable, without a growing hard-drive bill.
- Up to 60–64% lower total cost of ownership than disk-only storage over a multi-year retention window
- Air-gapped and immutable once written — archived footage can't be touched by ransomware or a network intrusion, unlike networked disk or cloud storage
- No recurring cloud subscription or bandwidth costs — video stays on-site under your control, not dependent on internet bandwidth
- Pay-as-you-grow scalability — 18TB of native capacity per LTO9 tape, so you add a tape instead of buying a new server
- 30+ year archival shelf life per tape, versus hard drives that need replacing every few years
- Zero power draw for archived tapes sitting on the shelf, versus disks that stay spinning and powered
Every camera you run today is creating evidence you might need years from now. The question isn't whether you'll wish you had it — it's whether it'll still exist.
