The Milestone Systems VMS was first application deployed across the Azure cluster. Both of our CV applications integrate with the Milestone directory server so this order of installation is preferred.
Milestone consists of:
Management Nodes
Database Nodes
Multiple recorder nodes
One configuration we tested for the distribution of a Milestone VMS across our Azure cluster is shown below:

BriefCam
We tested the BriefCam 2023 M1 version of the product with the Milestone integration components. BriefCam consists of multiple types of servers:
Database
Management Web Console
Multiple Processing Nodes (with GPU)
One configuration we tested for a BriefCam deployment on a five-node Azure Stack HCI cluster looks as follows: Figure 7. BriefCam deployment on an Azure cluster
Ipsotek
The Ipsotek CV application consists of multiple types of servers:
Database Node
Management Node
Multiple Processing Nodes (with GPU)
An example of how Ipsotek can be deployed across an Azure cluster looks as follows:

Findings
The Milestone VMS and both CV systems were successfully deployed on Azure Stack HCI.
