Different installation scenarios
There are different ways to integrate XProtect with the OnGuard access control system. This section is a guide to help you figure out which deployment options you should consider.
Important
Milestone and LenelS2 have created a technical deployment guide which documents design recommendations, performance thresholds, and architectural guidance within one short document. The XProtect OnGuard Integration is covered in this deployment guide. Download and read the guide.
Installation scenario | Use case |
Single system | You have a single XProtect system (one event server per system) and a single OnGuard system (one OnGuard database per system). |
Multiple single systems | You have multiple single XProtect/OnGuard system pairs. The customer just wants each pair to behave independently of each other. |
XProtect Federated Architecture with OnGuard Enterprise | You have a federated XProtect system and an OnGuard Enterprise system that need pairing. The customer needs centralized configuration and alarms. |
Distributed scenario | installed on an isolated host environment to accommodate increased alarm and event throughput. |
Single system – Integration Server and OnGuard Server on separate machines | There is a need to run the required integration software components on a different machine than the OnGuard Server. |
XProtect Clustered with OnGuard Clustered | You have a XProtect clustered environment connecting to an OnGuard clustered environment. |
