Built for On-Prem, Cloud, or Hybrid Deployment
Custom-engineered architecture aligned to your retention policies, evidence volume, and IT model.
Mission-Critical Equipment
Infrastructure
On-Prem Infrastructure
For agencies requiring full local control and air-gapped security. Architecture Includes:
- DIMS ImageServer (RAID-6 configurable)
- Redundant power supplies
- Hot spare rebuild
- Local Interview Room System (RAID-1 mirrored)
- Internal network isolation options
- DIMS Portal secure remote access
Ideal For:
-
CJIS-restricted environments -
Limited internet connectivity -
Agencies requiring full physical custody of evidence
Hybrid
Hybrid Deployment
Local performance with cloud scalability. Architecture Includes:
- On-prem DIMS ImageServer (primary ingest + caching)
- AWS S3 Secure Storage
- Optional EC2 compute instance
- Automated lifecycle tiering (hot → archive)
- DIMS Portal secure remote access
- Cloud-based disaster recovery replication
Cloud Deployment
Full Cloud Deployment (DIMS Cloud)
Elastic infrastructure with reduced hardware footprint. Architecture Includes:
- AWS S3 storage
- EC2 application layer
- Secure access via DIMS Portal
- Role-based authentication
- Lifecycle storage optimization
- Multi-AZ redundancy
