5 2 General Notes 2.1 Appropriate Use The SeMSy III Failover Server software is a failover (hot standby) for network-based Dallmeier recording systems. The software permanently monitors the availability of all recording systems in the SeMSy III video management system. When the recording of a system is interrupted (fail of the device, loss of the network connection, HDD or RAID failure), the Failover Server switches all streams for the recording on the defined spare recording system. 2.2 Performance Features Monitoring of the availability of recording systems Definition of standby recording systems for all monitored recording systems Detection of failure of the recording system, loss of the network connection, HDD or RAID failure Instant switching of all streams for recording on spare recording systems Triggering of failover operation indicators on SeMSy III Workstations 2.3 Warranty The terms and conditions valid at the signing of the contract shall apply. 5

6 3 System Requirements In order to install a SeMSy III Failover Server the following requirements must be met: Operating system Microsoft *) Windows *) 7 / 8 (32- / 64-bit) Processor (CPU) Intel *) Core *) i3 at least 2.5 GHz or comparable Memory (RAM) DDR3, minimum 4 GB Graphics card (GPU) VGA compatible Resolution (4:3, UXGA) or (16:9, Full HD) Ethernet 100 Mbps Storage 500 MB Miscellaneous SeMSy III Setup Server 6
