This chapter provides an overview of the Polycom
Application™ (DMA™) 7000 system. It includes these topics:
• Introduction to the Polycom DMA System
• Polycom Solution Support
• Working in the Polycom DMA System
• Open Source Software
The Polycom DMA system is a highly reliable and scalable multipoint
conferencing solution based on the Polycom
uses advanced routing policies to distribute audio and video calls among
multiple media servers (Multipoint Control Units, or MCUs), creating a single
resource pool. The system acts much like a virtual MCU, greatly simplifying
video conferencing resource management and improving efficiency.
The Polycom DMA system integrates with your enterprise directory,
automating the task of provisioning users for video conferencing. Combined
with its advanced resource management, this makes reservationless video
conferencing on a large scale feasible and efficient, reducing or eliminating the
need for conference scheduling.
The Polycom DMA system's ability to handle multiple MCUs as a single
resource pool makes it highly scalable. To expand the system, you can add
MCUs on the fly without impacting end users and without requiring
re-provisioning.
