Cozaint Announces LTO-Based MARCIA Integration for Milestone XProtect® VMS Environments
Sep 14, 2026
Patented Intelligent Video Lifecycle Management platform extends Milestone XProtect® with seamless background LTO preservation — without interrupting normal recording or operator workflows.
Atlanta, Georgia Sep 13, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Cozaint Corporation, the Intelligent Video Lifecycle Management company, announced the commercial availability of its patented MARCIA platform for Milestone XProtect® video management software environments.
MARCIA enables organizations using Milestone XProtect to extend video retention beyond traditional primary-storage limits while continuing to use XProtect exactly as they do today.
MARCIA continuously replicates newly recorded video in the background to LTO-based long-term storage --typically within a couple of minutes of the original write-- providing XProtect customers with what Cozaint believes is the lowest-cost architecture available for video surveillance retention.
For enterprise security environments, video retention has historically been constrained by the economics of disk-only storage. As camera counts, resolutions, frame rates, compliance requirements, legal exposure, and AI analytics use cases continue to expand, organizations increasingly need an architecture that preserves video beyond the standard 30-, 60-, or 90-day overwrite cycle.
Cozaint's MARCIA platform addresses that challenge by providing Intelligent Video Lifecycle Management (IVLM) for enterprise surveillance environments.
"The surveillance industry has spent more than thirty years optimizing how little video it can afford to keep," said Nauzad Sadry, Chief Technology Officer of Cozaint Corporation. "MARCIA changes that equation for Milestone XProtect customers. By extending XProtect environments with long-term video lifecycle management and LTO-based retention, organizations can preserve the video history they may need for investigations, compliance, legal defense, operational intelligence, and future AI analysis."
XProtect records the video. Within minutes, MARCIA is already preserving its future.
MARCIA is designed to operate behind the scenes within the customer's existing surveillance architecture. The VMS remains the day-to-day operational platform for live viewing, recording, user management, alarms, investigations, and security workflows. MARCIA extends the long-term value of the video managed by the VMS by enabling organizations to preserve video beyond normal retention windows and retrieve it when needed.
Importantly, MARCIA does not interrupt XProtect's normal recording workflow. Cameras continue recording into the customer's existing XProtect primary storage environment. In near real time MARCIA operates in the background to replicate and organize newly recorded video onto LTO-based storage. This process occurs without interrupting ongoing XProtect recording. Security operators continue using XProtect normally for live monitoring, playback, alarms, and investigations, while MARCIA continuously builds the long-term retention copy behind the scenes.
For Milestone XProtect environments, MARCIA supports long-term video retention workflows including automated tiered-storage management, LTO-based preservation, camera/date/time-based retrieval, metadata-aware recall, and restoration of historical video back into the XProtect workflow. The objective is simple: XProtect continues operating as XProtect, while MARCIA extends how long the organization can preserve and retrieve the video XProtect records.
As AI and video analytics become increasingly important to physical security and business operations, historical video is becoming more valuable. However, AI cannot analyze video that has already been deleted. MARCIA helps organizations preserve the long-term visual history required for future analysis, pattern discovery, incident review, and business intelligence.
Cozaint refers to this as Enterprise Visual Continuity, preserving Trusted Visual Evidence over time so organizations can continue using and learning from video long after it was recorded.
Key Benefits of MARCIA for Milestone XProtect Environments
Extended Video Retention
Preserve video for months or years instead of letting primary storage limits dictate the retention period.
LTO-Based Long-Term Preservation
Use LTO to deliver the lowest-cost path to long-term video preservation.
Reduced Disk Dependency
Avoid continuously expanding expensive primary storage simply to keep older video.
Continuous Background Replication
MARCIA continuously replicates newly recorded XProtect video to long-term LTO storage in the background, typically within a couple of minutes of the original write, while normal XProtect operations continue uninterrupted.
AI-Ready Historical Video
MARCIA helps preserve the historical video needed for future AI, analytics, investigations, compliance, and operational intelligence.
Evidence Preservation
Organizations can better retain Trusted Visual Evidence for legal defense, incident review, risk management, and compliance-driven retention needs.
Commercial Availability
MARCIA support for Milestone XProtect environments is commercially available from Cozaint Corporation. Organizations, integrators, and Milestone ecosystem partners interested in long-term video retention management for XProtect environments can contact Cozaint at [email protected] or visit www.Cozaint.com.

CHEVAL BLANC COURCHEVEL UNVEILS TWO NEW CHALETS
Cheval Blanc Courchevel is expanding with two chalets conceived as private residences, offering all the services of Cheval Blanc, alongside 15 dedicated Majordomes providing highly personalised service. The five-bedroom Chalet and nine-bedroom Chalet harmoniously retain the architectural codes of the original Maison, while reinterpreting them through a refined, contemporary aesthetic. Their connection to the main property is immediately recognisable through the ochre colour of the exterior walls — the signature shade of Cheval Blanc Courchevel — as well as the extensive use of wood. A nod to the traditional alpine chalets of the region, the material is used across the façade in a contemporary interpretation of local architectural codes: charred timber elements interlock with one another like a piece of modern marquetry.
