Choose Deployment Architecture

FindFace Enterprise Server SDK is delivered in the following distributable packages:

• A package with components <findface-repo>.deb.
• Several packages with neural network models <findface-data>.deb. Each model is delivered in a separate package.

Depending on your system characteristics and performance requirements, there are 2 FindFace Enterprise Server SDK deployments:

Deployment	Recommendation
Standalone	You can deploy FindFace Enterprise Server SDK on a single host (standalone) if the number of faces in the database does not exceed some 1,000,000.
Cluster	If the number of faces in the database does exceed 1 million, deploy FindFace Enterprise Server SDK in a cluster environment and configure fast index search. This is a medium and large deployment which can be scaled almost infinitely. It will also suit professional high load projects with severe requirements to performance.
