Cisco TelePresence Conductor
Introduction

Cisco TelePresence® Conductor software simplifies multiparty video collaboration. It orchestrates the allocation of conferencing resources for every user in a meeting. Cisco TelePresence Conductor helps to ensure that the user experience is always, consistent, irrespective of user, meeting type and endpoint. TelePresence Conductor is a virtualized application. When deployed in conjunction with Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning Extensions (Cisco TMSPE), Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMRs) may be provisioned simply and rapidly. TelePresence Conductor also facilitates large-scale user self-service, allowing users to create and configure their personal CMR preferences Enabling increased scale, and reducing the administration effort required to manage conferences, TelePresence Conductor simplifies conferencing management. Administrators can specify the exact service level and experience required for each user. For example, administrators can determine whether users enjoy standard- or high-definition video, how many participants may connect, the maximum service level available to attendees, and even which Cisco TelePresence Server or Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) is selected, according to geographic location.

Features
Cisco TelePresence Conductor offers many benefits:
  • Intuitive Experience
  • Highly scalable conferencing
  • Reduced administration overhead
  • Service differentiation, allowing administrators to define specific classes of service for different groups of users
  • Enabling users to meet the way they want – either in instant, personal and scheduled conferencing modes
  • Allows conferences to dynamically grow and even exceed the capacity of individual conferencing resources
  • Scales from small businesses to large enterprises, supporting expansion as usage increases
  • Simplifies the administration and management of conference configuration through intelligent optimization of multipoint resources (note that intelligent optimization is supported only on Cisco TelePresence Server)
Features of Cisco TelePresence Conductor include:
  • Dynamic conference growth and ad-hoc conference escalation, allowing dynamic two- to three-way conferencing. Conferences may even grow beyond the capacity of a single TelePresence MCU or TelePresence Server (if an administrator allows), to support huge conferences spanning many conference bridges, to allow administrators to cater for all conferencing requirements.
  • Customizable templates that define the characteristics of a conference and can be tailored for each user’s specific requirements and their service level entitlements.
  • Conference personalization which helps ensure the conferencing experience is tailored to meet each user’s personal preferences for settings such as layout and personal identification numbers (PINs).
  • Conference virtualization: Cisco TelePresence Conductor dynamically selects the most appropriate Cisco TelePresence resources for each new conference.
  • Pooled resource orchestration and load balancing, improving service availability.
