Platform (CMS Core)
Co Localized VMs (BE6k /

Standalone VM
CPU / RAM
CPU Hyperthreading Capacity (Participants)
(Recommendation)
Disabled 1.25 HD ports per CPU core
2.5 Ghz Intel Xeon CPU
1 GB RAM per CPU core
Enabled 2.5 HD ports per CPU core

CMS1000 96 HD

MM 410 (legacy) NA NA 64 HD

MM 400v (legacy) 32 HD

Note: CMS Edge sizing is not linked to port capacity.

Edge VMs that connect to a single CMS Core use 4 cores and 4 GB 1 HD = 720p30 main video + 720p5 content
vRAM.
In other cases use 8 cores and 8 Gb vRAM.
Estimated resources capacity for:
1080p30 : x 0.5
Note: Meeting recording has (limited) impact on resource
consumption & platform capacity.
720p30 : x 1
For assured capacity, it is recommended to enable the recording 480p30 : x 2
service on a dedicated VM (4 cores & 4 GB vRAM) - will allow 8 Audio only : x 30
simultaneous recordings.

Component Certificate Type Comments
WebAdmin self-signed
Public CA Signed
WebBridge self-signed Public CA signed certificate required only if
Public CA Signed CMA WebRTC is used

CallBridge self-signed Self-signed certificates cannot be used in a

Public CA Signed Skype/Lync deployment.
Deployments with TLS SIP Trunks cannot use
self signed certificates.
Trunk self-signed
Public CA Signed

LoadBalancer self-signed
Public CA Signed

Database Cluster Public CA Signed Self-signed certificates cannot be used in a

clustered deployment

Recorder Server self-signed Applications that interface to external devices require Public CA
certificates. Applications that interface internally in the Cisco
Streaming Server self-signed Meeting Server only require certificates signed by an Internal CA.
Self-signed certificates can be created via the MMP interface on
Cisco Meeting however it is strongly recommended that self-signed
certificates only be used for test environments.
