Storage on Multi-Server Farm

Each server writes its footage and files to one of the following:

1.      a data folder on the server itself

2.      a logical drive on a SAN

3.      a logical drive on a NAS

       If method 1 is applied, the footage files for a given camera will exist on the original server up until the failover swap, from which point they will be created on the redundant server.

       If method 2 or 3 is applied, the footage files for a given camera will never move. When a failover swap happens, the new server will just point to the data of the down server's logical drive on the SAN or NAS.
