RealPresence Resource Manager
The RealPresence Resource Manager system is an integrated scheduling and device
management platform for video conferencing that can include these features:
• Endpoint management, including provisioning, updating, monitoring, and
troubleshooting.
• Conference scheduling and monitoring on both RealPresence Resource Manager
system resources and the RealPresence Virtualization Manager (DMA) system (when
integrated with the RealPresence Resource Manager system).
• Conference, network device, and system monitoring and management including
network typology by geography and visual alarm reporting.
• Directory and user management including address books and presence.
• The Polycom RealPresence Desktop client for Windows operating systems—an easy-to-
use video and audio conferencing application that lets your users see and hear the
people they call on their desktop system.
• Automatic provisioning for dynamically-managed endpoint systems and scheduled
provisioning for standardly-managed and legacy endpoints.
• Automatic software updates for dynamically-managed endpoint systems and
scheduled software updates for standardly-managed and legacy endpoints.
• Firewall management capabilities which enable video conferencing across firewalls.
• Access to user and room directories for on-demand and scheduled calls.
Directory services include:
— Presence and contact list functionality for dynamically-managed endpoints (except
for RealPresence Mobile clients).
— Global Address Book for a single directory structure or Multiple Address Books for
multiple managed directories.
— H.350 and LDAP directory functionality. H.350 defines a directory services
architecture for multimedia conferencing for H.323, H.320, SIP and generic
protocols.
• Device monitoring and management, including bridges and access controllers such as
firewalls and SBCs.
• An optional high-availability, redundant management server configuration.
The RealPresence Resource Manager system supports up to 10,000 managed devices. It
integrates with the RealPresence Virtualization Manager (DMA) system for call control via
H.323 gatekeeper and SIP proxy functions.
