From a physical or virtual server perspective the entire server side software stack can be run on a single server.

<center><h2>Multiple Servers</h2></center>

For applications that necessitate the use of over 50 cameras or encompass multiple departments, our software provides the option to distribute its functionality across multiple <b>"Media Servers"</b>. These dedicated servers are specifically designed to handle the crucial tasks of processing the video stream component of the VALT application and efficiently storing the associated video files. This multi-server architecture offers exceptional flexibility and scalability, accommodating diverse and expanding needs.
