Using a Polycom DMA System with RealPresence
Resource Manager System
You can integrate your RealPresence Resource Manager system with a
Polycom DMA system to take advantage of the DMA system’s two main
functions: Conference Manager function and the Call Server (gatekeeper and
SIP proxy/registrar) function, described below.
• Conference Manager
— Provides a highly reliable and scalable multipoint conferencing
solution that distributes voice and video calls across multiple media
servers (MCUs), creating a single seamless resource pool. The system
essentially behaves like a single large MCU, which greatly simplifies
video conferencing resource management and improves efficiency.
— Supports up to 64 MCUs. MCUs can be added on the fly without
impacting end users and without requiring re-provisioning.
• Call Server
Polycom supports integrating your RealPresence Resource Manager system
with a Polycom DMA system v5.0 or later.
