Overview
Redundancy Management Framework (RMF) - High Availability Situational Awareness at Redundant XProtect Deployments.
Simplify Redundancy. Strengthen Security.Vega Systems’ Redundancy Management Framework (RMF) redefines how Milestone XProtect deployments achieve redundancy, without the risks of traditional clustering. RMF enables federated, independent site architectures with separate databases, improving cybersecurity, fault isolation, and operational resilience. Our cause-agnostic mitigation ensures uninterrupted video during recorder or network failures, while autonomous device mirroring and fine-grained synchronization simplify day-to-day management. RMF’s asymmetric redundancy unlocks flexible, cost-optimized designs across diverse environments.
Trusted by critical infrastructure, enterprises, and transportation networks worldwide, RMF delivers cybersecurity, flexibility, and reliability — all in one solution.
Key features
- Cyber-Aware Redundancy Secure redundancy with independent databases. Avoid clustering risks and minimize attack surfaces.
- Cause-Agnostic Mitigation Uninterrupted video during server, network, or client failures. No manual intervention required.
- Asymmetric Redundancy Use different stream settings for primary and backup. Customize retention to balance cost and performance.
- Autonomous Device Mirroring Devices added, deleted, or moved are automatically mirrored between primary and redundant sites.
- Fine-Grained Synchronization Sync settings like motion or continuous recording separately for each site, device-by-device.
