Milestone Federated Architecture Overview

A Milestone Federated Architecture hierarchy consists of at least two stand-alone XProtect VMS systems that are linked together to create a Milestone Federated Architecture hierarchy.

Once a Milestone Federated Architecture hierarchy is created, it will form a hierarchy of parent and child sites as seen in the chart below, where the top site is the parent, and the other sites are children under the parent.

Note: XProtect Expert can only function as a child-site under an XProtect Corporate site so it cannot have underlying child-sites attached to it.

Each site in the hierarchy provides users and administrators with a login point to the hierarchy. Based on the specific permissions configured for the users per site, the users and administrators logging in will have access to the site they logged in to and the sites below it.
