There are many design options for a Genetec Security Center implementation including Federations, Auxiliary Servers, and multicast considerations.
Genetec offers many courses that are related to design and implementation for those who require this information. These details are beyond the scope of this paper.
The following diagram illustrates the Dell and VMware components that were tested.

The Dell Technologies Safety & Security Lab vSAN test environment uses various servers and storage options throughout the lab, as shown in the following figure. When conducting a test, the nodes are contained in a single cabinet. Traffic can originate from application servers within the cabinet or servers external to the cabinet or both. Any non-vSAN storage is external to the cabinet, which includes the ECS.

The VMware software solution in this IoT Safety & Security environment uses VMware's Pulse IoT, vSAN, vSphere, and vCenter for IoT Safety & Security management. The vCenter Server provides a platform for managing vSphere while vSAN provides a scalable storage solution with high availability.
