Using On-Premises Conferencing
Now that you have a good understanding of what on-premises conferencing is, let??™s jump
right in and learn how to use the different conferencing features provided by OCS 2007.
On-premises conferencing has traditionally been reserved for very large enterprises due to
complexity and cost. OCS 2007 now makes it feasible for medium-size and even some
smaller businesses to deploy on-premises Web and videoconferencing.
MOC-Based Videoconferencing
Chapter 4 provided you with details on setting up and confi guring MOC 2007. This section
focuses on using the videoconferencing features of MOC. Earlier in this chapter, you learned
that OCS provides the ability to have videoconferences. Users can instantly start a MOC-based
videoconference with any other MOC user.
