Cozaint Launches MARCIA for Extended Video Retention with Milestone XProtect

ATLANTA, GA, September 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Cozaint Corporation has launched a new solution that integrates with Milestone XProtect video management software, enabling organizations to extend video retention beyond traditional storage limits. The company's MARCIA platform is designed to work seamlessly with existing XProtect environments, offering a cost-effective way to manage long-term video surveillance.

MARCIA continuously replicates newly recorded video to LTO-based long-term storage within a couple of minutes of the original write. This feature is particularly beneficial for enterprise security environments where video retention is often constrained by the economics of disk-only storage. As camera counts, resolutions, and compliance requirements continue to increase, organizations need a more flexible storage solution.

"Nauzad Sadry, Chief Technology Officer of Cozaint Corporation, stated, 'The surveillance industry has spent over three decades optimizing how little video it can afford to keep. 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.'"

The MARCIA platform operates behind the scenes, ensuring that XProtect remains the primary operational platform for live viewing, recording, user management, alarms, investigations, and security workflows. Cameras continue to record into the customer's existing XProtect primary storage environment, while MARCIA replicates and organizes newly recorded video onto LTO-based storage in the background. This process occurs without interrupting ongoing XProtect recording, allowing security operators to continue using XProtect normally.

Key benefits of MARCIA for Milestone XProtect environments include extended video retention, LTO-based long-term preservation, reduced disk dependency, and continuous background replication. The platform 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.

"Historical video is becoming more valuable, but 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 Corporation, founded in 2018, is advancing the emerging discipline of Intelligent Video Lifecycle Management (IVLM) for enterprise surveillance environments. Through its patented MARCIA™ platform and ALICE family of solutions, Cozaint helps organizations preserve, manage, retrieve, and unlock the long-term value of Trusted Visual Evidence across existing video management system environments. The company's technology enables Enterprise Visual Continuity for investigations, compliance, legal defense, operational intelligence, and future AI analysis while reducing the long-term cost burden of traditional disk-only video retention architectures.
