  2. RAID parameters:
    1. Number of disks required to build the needed RAID level with the given disk size.
    2. Total volume = Number of disks * one Disk size
    3. Effective volume is a disk space required for storage of the archive with the depth set on the Recording time given tab.
    4. Disk Effective disk space utilizationusage = Effective volume / Total volume (percentage)
    5. Disk fault tolerance is a number of disks that can fail without archive loss.
  3. Total stream from IP cameras, stream for recording and stream to clients.

Info
titleNote

The platform calculation results in the Recommended platforms table can be sorted by any column using the  button in the header of the corresponding column.

The RAM, GB column indicates the recommended size and number of RAM modules, taking into account the number of processors on the platform. For example, 4 RAM modules are recommended for dual-processor platforms, 8 RAM modules for four-processor platforms and 2 RAM modules for the rest.

Processor models

The Server's specs tab shows the results of platform calculation for processors with the selected architecture (see Selecting the CPU architecture).

Image Added

The Servers column indicates the number of servers which is required to use for specified number of video cameras. The RAM, GB column contains the recommendations for the RAM volume.

...

Platforms can be filtered in the calculation results. For that, enter the search string in the Platforms filter field. The filter is not case-sensitive.

To use the advanced method of adding platforms, click the Settings button and select the Extended platform addition mode check box in the window that opens.

General principles for adding platforms

...

  1. Enter a platform name or part of it, or select a name from the drop-down list in the Add platform to recommendations field.
    Image Added
    Instead of the platform name, you can enter its rating in the points of the site http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php. In this case, the platforms containing such a number in the name will be displayed in the list of search results first, and then the platforms that are similar in rating to the given one.
    If the platform is in the list of tested ones, then it will be shown in the list of added ones for informational purposes only, i.e. to check the performance rating according to the site http://www.cpubenchmark.net. Such a platform cannot be added to the calculation results..
    In addition, in the list of platforms, there may be an inscription (PT9) next to the index; this means that the index is based on the 9th version of the performance test. If the inscription is absent, then the index is specified according to the 10th version of the test (PT10).
  2. After the platform is selected, click the Add button.

...

If the platform is added in the advanced mode, then after you click the Add button, the Add the platform similar to window opens:

Image Added

In this window, select the platform, based on which the calculation should be performed for the platform you are adding. For example, it is recommended to select Intel Core i3-6100 as similar platform for adding Intel Core i3-6300, since all parameters (architecture/production technology, model line, number of CPU cores) except frequency are the same while frequency differs insignificantly.

...

To delete the added platform, click the button.

Added platforms are stored in cookies and remain on the list when you refresh or reopen the page. The list of platforms may change when switching the addition mode (i.e. simplified or advanced) depending on the mode used to add a platform.

...

To save the calculation results in the excel file, click the Export configuration to XLS Save as XLS button.
Image Added

If the Server's Specs tab is opened when export starts, the export file includes the list of recommended processors. The platforms filter does not affect the resulting file. For manually added platforms, the exported file indicates the platform based on which the calculation was made.
