The purpose of this reference architecture is to demonstrate the functionality, multitier architecture, and scalability offered by Dell EMC storage platforms with Milestone XProtect Corporate.
- Fibre Channel (FC) and iSCSI block-based storage for the XProtect Live database (Live DB) and Archive database (Archive DB), provided by Unity and SC series for small and remote offices.
- Dell EMC Isilon storage, via SMB, for the Archive DB when using direct-attached storage (DAS), FC, and iSCSI environments for the Live DB. Dell EMC Isilon scale-out storage enables dynamic scalability and ease of use for Archive DB video storage.
- Dell EMC ECS Object Storage for extending with a complete software-defined cloud storage platform that supports the storage, manipulation, and analysis of safety and security video and unstructured data on a massive scale on commodity hardware.
The reference architecture validates the performance of the solution and provides guidelines for building similar solutions. The document is not a comprehensive guide to every aspect of this solution.
