Single Site Deployment

In a single site deployment, one or more Multi Services Platforms are located at the same facility. If there are two or more Multi Services Platforms, they reside on the same local area network (LAN). Client system can access VSM if they can connect to that network.

In the simplest single-site scenario, one Multi Services Platform runs all VSM components (VSOM, VSMS, and VSVM). A deployment if this type might be appropriate for a small deployment of up to a few dozen cameras. Figure 1-1illustrates this scenario.

Figure 1-1 Single Site Deployment with One Multi Services Platform

A single site deployment can include many Multi Service Platforms. In this situation, VSOM runs on one Multi Service Platform, either by itself or with other VSM software. The other Multi Service Platforms run VSMS. A deployment of this type allows scaling the solution to address wiring requirements and to support a large number of cameras and increased retention rates.

Figure 1-2illustrates a single site deployment with three Multi Service Platforms, one that runs VSOM and VSVM, and two that run VSMS.
