Polycom® RealPresence® SVC-Based Conferencing Solutions Deployment Guide

Alternatively, the Acme Packet SBC (Session Border Controller) can be deployed in the enterprise environment to provide secured communications across IP network borders.

Media Plane

The Media Plane contains the Polycom components such as the Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000 (RMX) or the RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s, Virtual Edition as the MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) that enables the transcoding, relay, and collaboration of the media for SVC-based conferencing. Some components such as the Polycom RSS 4000, which is used for video recording, archiving, and streaming, are optional for this level.

In this SVC conferencing solution, the RealPresence Collaboration Server communicates with the Polycom® RealPresence® Virtualization Manager (DMA) as the SIP Server. Additionally, the RealPresence Virtualization Manager (DMA) is used to manage conferences, call control, and signaling. For more information about the RealPresence Virtualization Manager (DMA) in the SVC-based conferencing solution, see the "RealPresence Virtualization Manager (DMA)” section.

Call Control Plane
