Hardware Note:
Both platforms run exceptionally well on Arxys VideoX servers, which are built and validated for reliable VMS performance at any scale. For Hanwha Wave installations we reccomend adding the Nvidia A1000 GPU to handle the way the client /management app works. Milestone XProtect is so hardware efficient it doesn’t need a GPU.
