Looking for information on the exacqVision Virtual Appliance?
For customers that have embraced virtualization to increase utilization of hardware resources and availability of applications, the exacqVision Enterprise Edition VMS can be deployed in virtual environments.
exacqVision has been tested to run in VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments and likely runs in any virtualization environment that presents virtual NIC MAC addresses through the virtualized operating system.
There are no special requirements for running exacqVision in virtual environments. The disk throughput estimates generated from the online Exacq Configuration Calculator can be used to guide storage layer choices in the virtualization platform to achieve recommended disk I/O throughput. Specifications of the A-Series and Z-Series NVRs can be used to guide virtual machine configuration of virtual CPU, RAM and NIC resources to support a desired number of connected cameras, up to 128 per NVR.
There are no special requirEMents for running the exacqVision Enterprise Manager service on a virtual machine. Hardware specs of the EM-Series Server can be used to guide virtual machine configuration to monitor and manage a given number of NVRs.
The exacqVision Client utilizes GPU resources often found on workstations to display video. If running the exacqVision Client on a virtual machine without access to GPU acceleration, high CPU utilization and decreased performance can be expected.
exacqVision has been tested according to VMware's Partner Ready program to work with VMware vSphere.
