System scaling
To be able to scale to thousands of cameras across multiple sites, the system consists of components that handle
specific tasks. If you have installed all components on a standalone Milestone Husky X8, you can instead install the
components on separate dedicated servers in a distributed system to scale and distribute the load.
If you need the highest performance of the Milestone Husky X8, you should choose the HX8RC model which is
equipped with a 2 x 10Gb/s CNA card.
Depending on the configuration, one standalone Milestone Husky X8 can handle 300-400 cameras. With optimal
configuration, the HX8RC model can handle up to 750 cameras.
Not all components are needed in all installations. You can always add additional recording servers, failover
recording servers, or XProtect Mobile servers for hosting and providing access to XProtect Mobile client and
XProtect Web Client.
