Friends who are familiar with us know that all the streaming media platforms developed by us, such as EasyNVR, EasyGBS, EasyCVR and EasyDSS, are BS architectures. As for the difference between BS architecture and CS architecture, we have also mentioned in our previous blog: What is the difference between BS architecture and CS architecture of video streaming media server? If you are interested, you can learn about it.
BS and CS have different application requirements for different scenarios. To put it simply, BS mainly supports browser live broadcast without plug-ins, while CS mainly plays a role in client live broadcast. CS architecture appeared earlier than BS architecture. BS architecture is a change or improvement of CS architecture, which solves the problem that CS architecture cannot unify the client, centralizes the core part of system function realization on the server, and simplifies the development, maintenance and use of the system.
In the use of EasyNVR, large user teams in general project scenarios should have an obvious feeling that if BS architecture is not adopted, system managers need to run repeatedly between huge number of computer servers, which will not only be heavy workload, low efficiency, but also waste a lot of human resources. However, EasyNVR platform with B/S architecture only needs to manage the server. All clients are just browsers, so there is no need to do too much manual maintenance. No matter what level of users or how many branches there are, the workload of maintenance and upgrading will not be affected.
In addition, EasyNVR streaming media platform based on BS architecture has two versions of Windows and Linux, which has relatively higher system selectivity and high security. No matter which operating system is selected, most people can use Windows as desktop operating system without being affected. You can also take advantage of the fact that databases are free in Linux.
However, BS architecture still brings some disadvantages to the actual operation of EasyNVR. Because the main transaction logic of the user interface is completely realized by the Browser at the Server end, and a small part of the transaction logic is realized at the Browser front end, the Server carries most of the data. With the increase of data, the load will be more and more heavy. For this reason, many video projects have a database storage server just in case.
EasyNVR also has its own way of dealing with load problems, namely clustering and distributed storage. Clustering is characterized by multiple computers to complete the same work, when one server crashes, it does not affect the operation of other servers. It has the function of pulling and securing RTSP video streams, and it also has the ability of streaming media distribution. In the form of cluster, multiple streaming media distribute video and multiple services pull video, which is the direct use of cluster service.
In fact, not only EasyNVR, but also many scenarios are often used with high concurrency and multiple devices. We provide a relatively advantageous solution. Whether it is BS architecture or cluster or distributed storage, we have ways to reduce the pressure of video transmission or server.
