RMF Architectural Types

Single Site:

Select this option if your primary and secondary recorders are part of a single Milestone deployment with a single database. Note that failover management servers and/or clustered high-availability databases are considered a "Single Site" because there is one unique database.

If your XProtect architecture is a Single Site, see the section Single Site.

Federated:

Select this option if your primary recorders are part of a parent Milestone site and secondary recorders are part of a child site. Note that there are two unique databases here, one at the parent and another at the child.

If your XProtect architecture is Federated, see the section Federated.

Independent:

Select this option if your primary recorders are part of one Milestone deployment and secondary recorders are part of an Independent Milestone deployment. Note that there are two unique databases here, one in each separate site.

If your XProtect architecture is Independent, see the section Independent.
