However, when multiple Cisco Unified CM clusters are deployed, we recommend deploying a single Cisco Meeting Server cluster with one call bridge group dedicated for each Unified CM cluster. The call bridges within the group should be deployed in the same data center as the corresponding Unified CM cluster. Using a single Cisco Meeting Server cluster enables users to access the same conference using the same video address regardless of which Unified CM cluster they dial from. Figure 9. Multiple Call Processing Sites with Conferencing

Managing Conferencing Resources Cisco Meeting Management (CMM) is a mandatory component in a Cisco Meeting Server deployment that connects to Cisco Smart Licensing for license monitoring and management. CMM also provides administrators the ability to provision Cisco Meeting web app users so that users can join, create, and manage their own meetings using a browser portal. Cisco Meeting Management also provides conference monitoring and management controls for Collaboration administrators and operators. Benefits This deployment provides the following benefits: • Users have a consistent experience for launching and joining various types of conferences. • A single conferencing platform provides on-premises audio and video conferencing. • It provides users with real-time, high-definition video conferencing, including the ability to share content easily over a dedicated presentation channel. • Cisco Meeting Management provides administrators the ability to manage conference resources, manage meetings and provision CMS web app users.
