Overview
Redundancy Management Framework (RMF) - High Availability Situational Awareness at Redundant XProtect Deployments.
Our XProtect plugin, the Redundancy Management Framework (RMF), offers valuable support to facilities transitioning from non-redundant video security architectures to redundant ones, promoting high-availability situational awareness by leveraging redundant data centers.Integrated with each Smart client view, independent, cause-agnostic failure detectors identify failures in a user-aligned manner, facilitating fast failure mitigation through democratic decision-making.
Our powerful tools also enable seamless camera data synchronization and role-based access across redundant data centers, simplifying site management.
Furthermore, support for federation allows for the logical separation of redundant infrastructures, streamlining software update workflows without compromising situational awareness.
The RMF has successfully aided critical infrastructure facilities worldwide in building and leveraging redundancy to enhance their security systems.
Key features
- Cause Agnostic failure detection integrated into each Smart Client view is aligned with user perception of failure.
- Live video recovery is Lightning fast and automatic. Playback is continuous, and switching between redundant sources is transparent to the end user.
- Support for asymmetric redundancy makes redundancy flexible and caters to a diversity of budgets.
- Compatibility with unique redundancy architectures streamlines software updates and eases IT management tasks.
- Redundant event pipelines deliver high-availability alarms.
