Introduction

This document covers the SimCom solution deployed as a scalable and resilient solution. It provides an overview of how the SimCom solution provides these features when you deploy more than one SimCom server. The servers can be standard servers or be hosted on virtual machines (VM)

This document discusses the concepts, requirements and how to deploy this type of architecture. By deploying more than one host server as described here you can configure:

• Several components of the same type to work as one resilient “unit”; for example if one server goes down, communication can be hosted on the other server
• Scalability (increased capacity); for example, SIP signalling can be hosted across servers if one does not have enough capacity to host all the participants.
• Efficiency; the SimCom solution decides which components to use to provide effective and efficient communication; for example, participants calling from different locations can use different components while keeping the user experience of a simpler deployment

When deploying for scalability and resilience, use the HA Web Admin

• Install the standard server or virtualized solution following the appropriate Installation Guide
• Each SimCom server will host all the components of the SimCom solution

How to use this Guide

This guide follows on from the “SimCom UCP Deployment Planning and Preparation Guide” — and assumes that you have completed the instructions there already. This deployment guide is intended to be read and acted upon in the order provided.
