Changing From Hikvision To Digital Watchdog / Dwspectrum

I have an installation that currently works with Hikvision NVR's and several dozen camera. The system works well. But for various reasons, I want to explore a transition/uprade to a DWSpectrum system.

I've never used DW so I don't know the basics of the system -- but I have seen some good features that I like. I would like to know if DWS can be implemented "on top" of the existing system using the current HV nvrs --- or does DWS require their own nvrs. Or does DWS require nvrs at all? (They keep mentioning servers -- are those used instead of nvrs?)
