Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine improvements
New platform for TelePresence Server
This release introduces a new platform for the TelePresence Server software: the Cisco Multiparty Media
400v. This gives an increased port capacity of 28 HD ports at 720p30 video + 720p5 content.
This increased port capacity is enabled via the configuration dialog on the Deploy OVF Template wizard, see
the Deploying OVA to host section of the latest Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine Installation
Guide http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/conferencing/telepresence-server/products-installation-
guides-list.html
Note: This maintenance release enables extra capacity. However, the additional port capacity needs to be
licensed separately to achieve this support.
Note: To achieve the maximum port capacity, Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine must be the
only VM on the Multiparty Media 400v. It cannot be co-resident with any other UC application.
Hypervisor version ESXi 5.5 support
In this release, Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine now supports Hypervisor version ESXi 5.5.
Note: The Cisco Multiparty Media 400v requires Hypervisor version ESXi 5.5.
User Interface changes
The System status page on the user interface now provides information on Platform status, i.e. processor
type, number of cores allocated for the Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine, clock speed of the
system.
