Chapter 2 | Planning your Scopia XT
Desktop Server Deployment
When planning your Scopia XT Desktop Server deployment, consider the following:
• Will most Scopia XT Desktop Clients connect to videoconferences from within the enterprise, or from outside?
For example, if there are many internal Scopia XT Desktop Clients, consider placing a dedicated Conference
Server in the enterprise.
• What is your network's security policy?
Depending on where you deploy the Scopia XT Desktop Server and other video network devices, you may
need to open different ports on the firewall.
• How much internal and external bandwidth is required, based on the number of simultaneous users joining
videoconferences? Consider also whether most users will be joining in standard or high definition.
See the following sections for details on the different deployment options and how to plan your bandwidth:
