• Hot-swappable dual power supply for power redundancy
• Duplicated NIC cards with 2 x 1 Gbit/s, RJ45 and 2 x 10 Gbit/s, RJ45 connections for fully duplicated network connectivity
• Duplicated RAID 1 SSD Windows OS and VMS disks ensure a fast re-boot and that critical system data is not lost in the event of power loss.
• Easy replicable HDD with RAID storage redundancy, supporting RAID 5 and 10
• Redundancy on the video management software level, where two (or more) Milestone Husky X8 units can run in cold or hot stand-by configuration.

The converged Network Adapter provides 10 Gbit/s connection of external storage, like SAN. Storage can be connected via iSCSI or FCoE connections and the XProtect VMS archiving handling manages storage and retention policies for internal and external storage and ensures that video is always online and instantly accessible for operators.
