Escient Early Detection Monitoring System (EDMS)
The VS Series Vision Media Server includes a feature called Escient Early De-
tection Monitoring that monitors the condition of Vision’s internal hard drives.
In the unlikely event of a problem with one of its drives, your Vision will notify
Escient Tech Support and your Escient dealer, using its Internet connection.
The Vision VS series actually contains a pair of identical internal had drives
that are configured in what is called a “RAID 1” configuration. RAID 1 means
that data is written to both drives simultaneously so that you always have an
up to date backup should you encounter a problem with one of them. If Vision
encounters a problem with one of your drives you should not use it any further
as you don’t want to risk having a problem with the other drive. If there is a
problem with both drives, all of your data could be lost.
Always follow the on screen instructions if the EDMS detects a potential prob-
lem with your Vision Media Server.
