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 (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.


# 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.
