Setting Up and Configuring the Multi
Services Platform
The Cisco Multi Services Platform comprises a set of server models that run Cisco
VSM software and provide recording and storage of streams from surveillance
cameras. The servers are available in 1 RU, 2 RU, and 4 RU models, and provide
varying amounts of video storage. For more information, see the
“Cisco Multi
