About Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 in a Load Balancing Configuration

Internal cluster—Places all web servers behind the firewall inside the private corporate network. Typically, all web servers in an internal cluster display the full-access Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing interface

External cluster—Places all web servers between the private corporate network and the Internet, such as in a DMZ. For increased security, all web servers in an external cluster typically display the attend-only Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing interface.

You can attach a maximum of 16 web servers (including both internal and external clusters) to a single Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system. The two databases (one for the internal cluster, one for the external cluster) must have identical GUIDS.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing supports five potential load balancing configurations, as shown in Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2, and Figure 4-3.
