The following sections provide overviews of common VSM deployment
scenarios. For more information about these and other deployment options, refer
to VSM design guides or contact Cisco or your Cisco partner.

Single Site Deployment
In a single site deployment, one or more Multi Services Platforms are located at
the same facility. If there are two or more Multi Services Platforms, they reside
on the same local area network (LAN). Client system can access VSM if they can
connect to that network.
In the simplest single-site scenario, one Multi Services Platform runs all VSM
components (VSOM, VSMS, and VSVM). A deployment if this type might be
appropriate for a small deployment of up to a few dozen cameras.
Figure 1-1
illustrates this scenario.
Figure 1-1 Single Site Deployment with One Multi Services Platform
A single site deployment can include many Multi Service Platforms. In this
situation, VSOM runs on one Multi Service Platform, either by itself or with other
VSM software. The other Multi Service Platforms run VSMS. A deployment of
this type allows scaling the solution to address wiring requirements and to support
a large number of cameras and increased retention rates.
Figure 1-2 illustrates a single site deployment with three Multi Service Platforms,
one that runs VSOM and VSVM, and two that run VSMS.
