Cozaint has launched the Marcia platform, which integrates with Milestone Xprotect video management software to facilitate extended video storage. The system automatically moves recordings to LTO-based long-term archives to bypass typical retention windows.
Why it matters
This development addresses the growing enterprise need for historical video data required for legal compliance, investigations, and future AI model training. By automating offload processes, organizations can preserve footage that exceeds standard retention limits without manual intervention.
The Marcia platform enables video retention beyond standard 30, 60, or 90-day overwrite cycles by leveraging Linear Tape-Open (LTO) storage, which provides a high-capacity alternative to traditional hard drive-based archival.
The players
Cozaint
A developer specializing in video surveillance and physical security storage infrastructure.
Milestone Xprotect
A widely deployed video management software suite that serves as the central control for security camera systems.
The details
Marcia functions by continuously replicating newly recorded video in the background to LTO-based storage, which is a high-density magnetic tape technology designed for long-term data durability. The platform runs as an integrated service with Milestone Xprotect, a video management software suite that handles real-time camera feeds. Because the replication process occurs within minutes of the original recording, it functions without interrupting the primary recording workflow or system performance.

The Tech Race
The launch follows a pattern set by the adoption of LTO magnetic tape storage for managing massive data archives in enterprise security environments. Cozaint is positioning this integration to compete for enterprises that previously relied on high-cost disk arrays for long-term video retention.
Users of Milestone Xprotect can now implement automated long-term retention policies without manually managing disk space. This capability is targeted at enterprise security teams that must maintain footage for extended periods to satisfy legal or compliance requirements.
The takeaway
Cozaint has moved to commoditize the archival of high-volume video surveillance data through automation. Watch for the platform's performance benchmarks in large-scale deployments to see if it reduces total cost of ownership compared to traditional cloud-based archival solutions.
