IRIS+™ Core

Custom Core Datasheet

8min

When installed at a customer’s site, IRIS+™ is comprised of:

  1. An IRIS+™ Core which performs all central management and advanced analysis.
  2. A variable number of IRIS+™ Edges: IRIS+™ Edge appliance or IRIS+™ Edge CI (Customer Installed) that process the video stream, transforming it into Irisity’s proprietary metadata.

The IRIS+™ Edges can be deployed anywhere in the network, from the Data Center hosting IRIS+™ Core to any remote site with connectivity to IRIS+™ Core over a standard TCP/IP network.

Supported IRIS+™ product tiers

IRIS+™ has 3 product tiers and license types. All three tiers are available both for the IRIS+™ Standard as well as the IRIS+™ Advanced configurations. (see in IRIS+™ Configuration below) IRIS+™ Product tiers are:

  • IRIS+™ Essential
  • IRIS+™ Analyst
  • IRIS+™ Enterprise

Deploying IRIS+™

IRIS+™ Core was developed on principles common to many of today’s private and public data centers: easy scalability through dynamic resource allocation, continuous zero downtime updates, and high availability. As such, IRIS+™ Core has specific network, software, hardware requirements, and prerequisites. While Customer Hosted installations are fully supported, for most customers we recommend our secure, hassle-free, and Cloud Hosted IRIS+™ Core option. Video analytics can still be run on-site for a hybrid deployment that minimizes bandwidth requirements.

Professional services

For an IRIS+™ Core installation, Irisity's Professional Services are delivered remotely or on-site (subject to commercial terms). The local staff at the customer’s site are required to have IT knowledge, as specified in the IRIS+™ Customer, Hosted Installation Guide (Contact Irisity for details).

Updating IRIS+™ Core

Irisity publishes software component updates periodically. Customers will receive the relevant notifications including release notes and instructions on performing the update. Note: Converting from a Standard IRIS+™ Core to an Advanced IRIS+™ Core requires a fresh installation of the entire system.

Comparison of IRIS+™ configuration

IRIS+™ Core can be configured to suit different analytics deployment sizes and various network architectures.
