Regardless of the size or scale of an organization’s video deployment, Polycom RMX platforms provide room for growth and flexibility to serve the group collaboration needs of all employees in an organization.

Polycom® DMA™ Bridge Virtualization and Load BalancingLeveraging the power of the Polycom RMX platform, the Polycom DMA solution intelligently distributes multipoint calls across networked conference platforms and scales to up to 1,200 active video participants. The DMA solution also supports third-party conference bridges to enable complete conference virtualization without costly upgrades. The DMA solution uniquely provides multiple points of redundancy for collaboration infrastructure, with dual hot standby application servers. With the DMA 7000 solution, conference quality is sustained and network outages and failures are bypassed via intelligent routing algorithms.

Operating costs are reduced by using the DMA 7000 solution as a single point of control for multiple bridge resources, while a centralized LDAP database simplifies and streamlines account management, logging and monitoring. The RMX platform and other conference platform resources can be instantly added, changed, or removed in response to dynamic network conditions, with no impact to end-user experiences or conferences in progress, making the Polycom DMA 7000 solution an indispensable element for scaling collaboration across the network. The DMA solution’s unique approach to managing and controlling conferences ensures each element of the collaboration infrastructure delivers the highest degrees of redundancy and reliability.
