Release 7.1 with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
Configuration Details
This configuration assumes the following:
- One Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server using a minimum MCS-7845-I3-RC2 or equivalent.
- Two Windows servers (the system supports a minimum of 2 servers but scales to 6 servers depending on your configuration and features)
- Six Audio blades
- Six Video blades
- Single node configuration using the Hardware Media Server and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conferencing
- Supports both Cisco Unified MeetingPlace-scheduled meetings and reservationless meetings
- Does not support Cisco WebEx-scheduled meetings

1 |
Database replication connection per Windows cluster (internal and external). Customers desiring redundancy for the SQL database must set up a database cluster sharing that one replication connection. |
Footnote 1: When using a 7835 (I2 or H2) server, the maximum audio ports supports is 500, independent of audio mode.
Footnote 2: We recommend that you schedule large meetings in order to obtain the maximum supported capacity.
Footnote 3: The Cisco MCS 7845-I3 Web Server supports a maximum of 600 web ports per server. However, the largest supported web meeting per server is subject to the size of the largest supported audio meeting per server. Audio meetings are restricted to 500 ports due to the rate at which a single Audio blade can accept traffic.
Sizes
| Maximum Size | Component |
|---|---|
|
250,000 |
An alarm is generated if the number of user profiles exceeds this number. |
|
400,000 |
A minor alarm is generated if the number of meetings exceeds 80 percent of 400,000. A major alarm is generated if the number of meetings exceeds 90 percent of 400,000. |
Call Rate
| Maximum | Details |
|---|---|
|
15 CPS |
Maximum call rate for both inbound and outbound calls, averaged over a 5 second period, for a system with 6 audio blades. |
|
3 CPS |
On systems with less than 6 audio blades, the maximum call rate for both inbound and outbound calls, averaged over a 5 second period, for each audio blade. (For example, a system with 3 audio blades has a 9 CPS maximum call rate.) |
Redundancy
Warm Standby Application Server is supported. This requires duplicate MCS hardware for the Application Server and would also require duplicate media hardware if the components are deployed in separate data centers. Single data center supports single shared Media Server. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web servers can be clustered for 3 internal and/or 3 external web meetings.
Recommended Practices
- Scheduling and rescheduling of recurring meetings with more than 10 instances should be performed during off-peak times to minimize delays perceived by users joining meetings.
- Administrative reports should be run during off-peak times to minimize delays perceived by users joining meetings.
Release 7.1 with Cisco WebEx Web Conferencing

- Six Video blades
- Single node configuration using the Hardware Media Server and Cisco WebEx web conferencing
- Supports both Cisco Unified MeetingPlace-scheduled meetings and reservationless meetings
- Does not support Cisco WebEx-scheduled meetings

Redundancy
Warm Standby Application Server is supported. This requires duplicate MCS hardware for the Application Server and would also require duplicate media hardware if the components are deployed in separate data centers. Single data center supports single shared Media Server. No redundant Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web servers are supported with the Cisco Webex integration.
Recommended Practices
- Scheduling and rescheduling of recurring meetings with more than 10 instances should be performed during off-peak times to minimize delays perceived by users joining meetings.
- Administrative reports should be run during off-peak times to minimize delays perceived by users joining meetings.
