The solution was tested using a VxRail V670F 5-node cluster to meet the requirements for performance, maintainability, and horizontal scalability. VxRail is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) appliance that is jointly engineered by Dell Technologies and VMware. The system deployed in our lab is a V Series VxRail - a 2U platform with NVIDIA GPU support. It is also configured with all flash drives for optimal performance. The full specification is available here. VxRail combines compute, storage, and networking components in a single, compact unit to simplify the deployment and management of virtualized workloads.

The ProHawk Vision software and XProtect Smart Client plug-in were the new capabilities tested in this solution. The Milestone XProtect VMS software was used to record all the video data, and the Ipsotek application was used to run the CV analytics. This guide describes what we validated in our lab environment. Consult with all software suppliers and any system integrators before implementing a production-grade safety and security system.
