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.
