Abstract

The present disclosure is directed at methods, systems, and techniques for sharing data in a physical security system that includes multiple server nodes. One of the server nodes (a “first node”) accesses a node identifier identifying another of the server nodes (a “second node”), following which the first node sends the data to the second node. Both the first and second nodes are part of a server cluster that includes multiple server nodes, and each of the server nodes in the server cluster has access to cluster membership information. The cluster membership information identifies all of the server nodes in the server cluster, and the node identifier is part of the cluster membership information.
