The open-architecture of PS allows the administrator to tailor workflows to the exact needs of the organization.
1.8 S ERVER C ONFIGURATIONS
The architecture of PS allows for easy scalability of the server for use by small departments and very large
organizations. In general, three different configurations of the server will fit the needs of most organizations:
All-in-One – One machine carries the load of administration, processing and playback
Cluster – Two or more machines share the administration, processing and playback tasks
Cloud – The server components (All-in-One or Cluster) are instantiated by cloud services
An organization can start with an All-in-One configuration in the beginning and then expand to multiple machines
as the processing requirements and load grows within the user community.
Cloud-based implementations are ideal for situations where the IT infrastructure needs to be outsourced or where
the local network capacity is not capable of handling the required load.
Each configuration has its benefits and drawbacks, and NCast will work with potential customers to find the best
fit for the requirements.
