and Instant Messaging services.

2.2 Determining Your Conferencing Needs
The ShoreTel single management system makes it easy for you to effectively and
cost-efficiently provide conference and IM services for your users. The ShoreTel
conferencing solution is flexible allowing you to install a single SA-100 unit to
provide services company-wide or multiple units deployed regionally to handle
services for local users which can save on long-distance cost when your regions are
in distant locations.
In determining how best to deploy SA-100s in your environment, consider the
following:
•
The number of simultaneous conferences you want to support.
•
The types of conferences you expect to support.
•
The number of IM sessions you expect to support.
•
The typology of your network.
•
Load balancing
•
