Planning your MCU Deployment

When planning your MCU deployment, it is important to consider both bandwidth usage and port
security, as described in the following sections:

Planning your Distributed or Centralized Topology for MCU

When your organization has more than one site, like a headquarters and several branches,
RADVISION offers a unique method of cutting video bandwidth costs. Administrators can choose
whether to place all MCUs centrally in the headquarters
for a distributed deployment, where multiple MCUs are spread over multiple sites
page
Centralized MCU deployments can be expensive for frequent conferences between branches with
multiple participants from each site, since each participant must utilize extra bandwidth on the
WAN connection between sites
