Calculator¶

IRIS+ Professional is available as a standalone deployment on specific hardware configurations depending on the size of your setup - read below to learn more about how to use the calculator.

Hardware Constraints

Max GPUs per Server

GPU Model

RAID Level

Site Groups

At least one site group must remain. Within each site, at least one channel group must remain.

How to use the Hardware Calculator¶

Select the number of GPU models you want to use in your deployment, then choose the RAID configuration for your storage drives.
Configure Site and Channel Groups - a single Site Group and a single Channel Group are created by default.
- A Site Group represents a logical grouping of cameras that share the same hardware resources. You can create multiple Site Groups to represent different locations or departments within your organization. A Site Group may contain multiple Channel Groups.
- Channel Groups represent a logical grouping of cameras that share the same configuration settings. You can create multiple Channel Groups within a Site Group to represent different cameras configurations.
- Increase the Replication value to duplicate a Site Group and its associated Channel Groups. This is useful for scaling your deployment across multiple locations with similar hardware requirements.
Review the results on the right side of the calculator, and adjust your configuration as needed.

Requirements¶

The following are the minimum hardware requirements for deploying IRIS+ Professional:

Component	Minimum Requirement
Motherboard	Professional or enterprise-grade motherboard.
CPU	Server-grade x86-64 CPU released in the last 6 years.
GPU	GPU with at least 8 GB VRAM - see the Calculator for options.
RAM	DDR4 or newer.
HDD	Server-grade HDD capable of continuous runtime - verify hard drives with CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology before purchase to ensure reliable video recording performance. Avoid hard drives using SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) technology, which can cause system instability. Do not use standard desktop or laptop hard drives for video storage, as they cannot handle constant recording and may fail during critical moments.
SSD	Professional/enterprise/NAS-grade SSDs.

Only configurations meeting the minimum requirements are supported.
