Selecting Milestone Interconnect or Milestone Federated Architecture (explained)

In a physically distributed system where users on the central site need to access the video on the remote site, you can choose between Milestone Interconnect™ or Milestone Federated Architecture™.

Milestone recommends Milestone Federated Architecture when:

The network connection between the central and federated sites is stable.
The network uses the same domain.
There are fewer larger sites.
The bandwidth is sufficient for the required use.

Milestone recommends Milestone Interconnect when:

The network connection between the central and remote sites is unstable.
You or your organization want to use another XProtect product on the remote sites.
The network uses different domains or workgroups.
There are many smaller sites.
