Software Component for Clustering in Cisco Meeting Server Deployment

B.

The software component in Cisco Meeting Server deployment that supports clustering for scalability and resilience is the Call Bridge.

Cisco Meeting Server is a collaboration solution that enables users to join meetings using various devices, including desktops, mobile devices, and video conferencing endpoints. It provides a scalable, secure, and customizable collaboration platform that can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution.

The Call Bridge is a core component of Cisco Meeting Server that provides call control and media processing for voice and video calls. It is responsible for managing the signaling and media streams between endpoints and supporting features such as audio and video codecs, security, and Quality of Service (QoS).

In a clustered deployment, multiple Call Bridges are deployed to provide scalability and resilience. The Call Bridges work together to balance the call processing load and provide redundancy in case of a failure. This ensures that users can join meetings and make calls even if one or more Call Bridges are unavailable.

Other software components in Cisco Meeting Server, such as the Web Admin, Web Bridge, XMPP Server, TURN Server, and Database, also play important roles in the overall solution. The Web Admin provides a web-based interface for managing the system, the Web Bridge enables users to join meetings from a web browser, the XMPP Server provides instant messaging and presence services, the TURN Server enables media traversal across firewalls and NAT devices, and the Database stores configuration and usage data. However, none of these components directly support clustering for scalability and resilience in the same way that the Call Bridge does.
