What to consider before migrating
Before migrating, ask yourself the following questions:
Reuse existing servers?
XProtect Advanced VMS is a fully distributed system. As many recording servers as required can run
under an XProtect Advanced VMS management server. And each of the recording servers can run as
many cameras as required. The same applies for failover servers.
XProtect Advanced VMS’s administration interface can be installed as a client on any computer. When
migrating to XProtect Advanced VMS you may also use the occasion to rethink and optimize the way
you use your servers.
Consequently, minimum system requirements for running XProtect Enterprise and XProtect Advanced
VMS servers differ only slightly. In many cases, you are able to reuse your existing servers. See the
following minimum system requirements for relevant components:
