/mcpPermanent Conferences with Cisco Meeting Server (CMS) Spaces Permanent conferences are deployed using CMS Spaces. A CMS Space is a virtual persistent meeting room that anyone can join and that has support for video, voice, and content sharing. ACMS Space is created for a user when the user is imported into Cisco Meeting Server from Microsoft Active Directory configured in the web administrative interface, by using the Cisco Meeting Server API, or provisioned by Cisco Meeting Management (CMM). Each CMS space is associated with a few attributes such as, Username, Space name, and so forth, and can be accessed using a video address URI or numeric alias. These attributes are configured by the administrator through the Field Mapping Expressions. After the CMS Space has been created, the administrator can further customize the Spaces by specifying a default layout or guest access code for each user. With CMM provisioning an administrator can also configure automatic CMS Space creation or provision CMS web app users with the ability to create their own CMS Spaces. Scheduled Video Conferences CMS web app provides an ability to schedule conferences on CMS using scheduler component. Leverage third party solutions from Cisco Solution plus partners for scheduling meetings on CMS. Support for Multiple Call Processing Sites Organizations may choose to implement more than one Cisco Meeting Server cluster (Figure 9) for any of the following reasons: • Administrative separation — This includes the need to keep users from different parts of the organization on separate infrastructures or to have different departments operate different parts of the communications infrastructure. • Geographic footprint — Physical limitations such as excessive latency between endpoints and conferencing resources could degrade the user experience (for example, US users might not have a productive collaborative meeting if they use conferencing resources located in Europe).
