Video server failure: backup solution for an emergency services video wall
A virus, a hardware failure, and your video server goes down. Your operators lose the 360 vision. What do you do when the video wall of a command room shuts down at the worst possible moment?
Friday 5pm: the video wall server is dead
Fabrice sends us a message: the server driving his 9-screen video wall has failed. In a command and control room, every minute counts. There is no time to wait for a lengthy repair when operators need to keep an overview of the situation.
A simple and fast backup solution
The following Sunday, we show him a fast and simple video solution to bring the video wall back up. It relies on two elements found everywhere: a laptop (easy to redeploy after a virus attack) and a controller box. Enough to restore 360 vision without depending on the original server.
This approach illustrates the Easy Multi Display philosophy: staying operational even in the event of a failure, with simple and sovereign hardware. This is exactly what fire and emergency services solutions and command and control room managers are looking for.
