Configuring Conferencing Servers ??? Chapter 8 247
On-Premises Live Meeting requires that you set up and confi gure the supporting
infrastructure during your OCS deployment. On-Premises Live Meeting also requires the
initial cost of deployment of OCS, but there are no monthly or per-use fees for using
the in-house conferencing service. You should also keep in mind that On-Premises Live
Meeting supports a limit of 250 users per meeting.
NOTE
If you plan to deploy OCS Standard Edition, you should keep in mind that
each Standard Edition server can support upward of 2,000??“5,000 users,
depending on hardware. If you plan to do a lot of Web conferencing with
thousands of concurrent meeting attendees, you may want to consider
deploying OCS Enterprise Edition, which can support upward of 50,000 users
per pool. The maximum number of simultaneous Web conferences depends
on the features used, the number of meetings using those features, and the
number of users per meeting. A lot of small conferences that use audio and
video in each will support a smaller number of total users than a few large
conferences using the same features.
Hosted Live Meeting
Hosted Live Meeting uses Microsoft??™s servers for establishing and hosting conferences. This
approach to Web conferencing has been around for a few years now and has become very
popular in the corporate world.
