Clustered Mode

Follow this section if your Primary Milestone Management Server is clustered or has Management Server Failover. Note that clustering is intra-site.

For deployments with less than 500 cameras

For an Independent architecture, clustered mode with less than 500 cameras, deploy the following components.

Note: All RMF components are installed only on Site 1.

RMF Service Components

The following Service components are installed on the Management Servers M1 and M2:

RMF SmartSync Service
RMF Alarm Service
RMF Configurator
Milestone Management Client

For more information on the RMF Services installation, refer to the following sections:

For additional information on the Milestone XProtect Management Client, refer to the Milestone XProtect documentation.

Note: The RMF Smart Client Component is not supported in the Independent mode.

For deployments with more than 500 cameras

For an Independent architecture, clustered mode with more than 500 cameras, the RMF services components must be deployed on a dedicated RMF server (DRMF). This server must have the exact machine specifications as the Milestone Management Server. The DRMF server can be clustered to ensure high availability.
