Interoperability
The following table describes the Polycom components and endpoints supported in the SVC
solution:
A Typical SVC-Based Conference Deployment Scenario
Polycom’s migration path for SVC-based conferencing enables a smooth and incremental
transition for enterprises that have existing Polycom UC infrastructure such as the
RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) or the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s -
Virtual Edition, RealPresence Virtualization Manager (DMA), and the RealPresence
Resource Manager. Software upgrades to the various Polycom components are performed
to provide deployment of SVC-based conferencing, enabling the enterprise to keep their
initial investments and upgrading costs to a minimum. Additionally, POCN, Cisco TIP,
ISDN, PSTN, and H323 are supported in the RealPresence Collaboration Server for AVC-
based conferences.
