The GV-Redundant server is used when large quantities of IP video is required to be securely backed up as another copy to a remote location. It can record up to 128 IP channels from the connected GV-System hosts.

As a surveillance-focused redundant server, the GV-Redundant server provides many useful ways to specifically help manage and retrieve large amounts of IP video. For example, connection and storage status of each IP camera, event-based notifications, filtered and searched by conditions, etc. are all designed in a way that is convenient for security professionals. In fact, the same design scheme applies to the GV-Recording server in terms of intuitive operation.

If a backup copy is needed only for in the case of system or network issues, then the GV-Failover server could be an ideal solution as an alternative choice. Unlike the GV-Redundant server which basically runs as a duplication of the primary server, the GV-Failover server takes over when (1) the host GV-System starts up without monitoring; (2) file recycling fails; (3) error occurred in hard drive; (4) error occurred in Failover plug in programme.

If the system integrators are quite familiar with configuring application severs, they may design their own servers to meet their specific needs, or, Geovision offers dedicated servers with the purchased application pre-loaded on request. This leaves only the smallest and yet most crucial points for the system integrators to determine. The server comes with a choice of different housings, ranging from 3U to 4U, and 8/16/20 bays. With the typical current hard drive size in market (3TB for example), a 20-bay model will allow storage of 60TB.
