Virtualized infrastructure

  • This solution is based on the Dell Validated Design for AI platform that is jointly engineered by Dell, VMware, and NVIDIA. The Dell Validated Design for AI is an enterprise grade platform that is fully validated by Dell, VMware, and NVIDIA. The design supports virtualization with GPUs and runs on Dell PowerEdge and VxRail HCI infrastructure. VxRail was selected for Computer Vision due to its ability to scale to support thousands of cameras.

    The main components from the Dell Validated Design for AI that are leveraged are:

    • VMs - All VMS and CV systems were fully virtualized.
    • vGPU - Virtualized GPU capability that is required to process analytic camera streams.
    • vSAN - All VMs are protected with vSAN storage.
    • vCenter - All system management and operations are performed through VMware vCenter.

    Computer vision applications

    The primary goal of developing and testing this solution design was to determine if a single-converged platform could be used to virtualize VMS and CV applications from multiple vendors. The initial applications that were used for validation include Milestone Systems XProtect VMS and Ipsotek.

    Milestone Systems XProtect VMS

    The VMS system software and versions tested were:

    • Windows Server 2019 Operating System
    • XProtect Corporate 2022 R1
    • Management Servers
    • Recorder Nodes
    • SQL Server Databases

     Ipsotek CV

    The Ipsotek solution software and versions tested were:

    • Windows Server 2019 Operating System
    • Ipsotek 11.7.3
    • Database Nodes
    • Ipsotek Management Nodes
    • Ipsotek Processing
