Network Deployment
The GV‐Hot Swap Backup Center System, equipped with 4 network interface cards, has the capacity of receiving 200 hosts for GV‐System
and GV‐IP Devices. It can also receive up to 100 users for Web query or remote playback. It is recommended to set three network
interface cards for receiving video and one network interface card for Web query or remote playback.
Recommended Network and Hard Disk Requirements
The system’s backup speed and transmitting capacity depends on the number of Gigabit connections. The numbers of Gigabit network
cards required to receive 200 hosts and to support remote access of backed up data are listed below according to the resolution of the
source video.
Also note the maximum number of hosts supported by a single hard disk to calculate the number of hard disks required. For example, at
least 7 hard disks are required for up to 200 hosts supported with 1.3 / 3 M resolution.
