I work for NetworkOptix. We do VMS. We also claim that primary bottleneck is storage, not a software(or server CPU). With our software i5 server can handle 128 popular cameras with no issues and accurate software MD. CPU load would be less than 50% recording more than 1Gbps.

I'm interested in the benchmark test results that validate their claims to be the "fastest recording server".

With the trend towards cloud-based (private or public) hosting of VMS platforms, using hardware acceleration becomes less attractive as it's not a trivial exercise to allocate GPU processing to virtual machines.
I'm more interested in how VMS providers are going to adapt to automated horizontal scalability for their applications in a highly dynamic scenario.
For example, if the majority of cameras in a network see bursts of traffic at specific times of day and that places increased demand on CPU to analyze and process, then scale out application instances at those times, and then scale them back when load subsides. My cloud provider charges me by the minute or by the IOP - I'd happily pay for extra server capacity for a few hours a day rather than have all that expensive tin lying around.
VMS provides need to start to plan how to decouple their software form bare-metal hardware.

I have yet to run into any CPU bottlenecks using Milestone but and seeing numerous issues with media overflow. I understand this is an issue with disk speeds but i'm only running 50-60 cameras on dual E5-2670 with SSD write intensive. Can anyone share what they are doing to optimize their disk speeds and configurations.

Dave, on the Milestone support page there is a Knowledgebase link. Go there and enter 'overflow' in the search.
The KB1605 is there and I can confirm that this does help in many instances.
One other reason you will get these is if your 'LiveDB' space is too full.
Assuming that you ARE running the archive process, be sure you have it scheduled frequently enough so you dont fill the LiveDB space.
If you do have a good schedule, perhaps the process is too slow and KB1783 will help with that.
You can also observe in Windows Resource Monitor the state of the system when the archive process is happening. You will want to watch the CPU, Memory and Disk Queue length of your storage location. A continued high value is not good.
