Telepresence Exchange - Study Roadmap

[remi-reszka]

Hi all,

I am going to be assigned to a Telepresence project with use of Telepresence Echange Server, Multipoint Switch, Telepresence Manager and of course some video end points but have no information on that yet. The overall design is that all the solution components will be hosted on a private cloud.

I was wondering if anybody could give me, from your experience, the best study path o roadmap of all the components that could enable me to have good knowledge on this technology.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Hii,

My name is Mubashshir from Telepresence support team. I would say that whenever you start studying about any technology, you should start from its base first. I think the best path to this as well would be to go from its base.

Start studying about the endpoints and protocols that actually make videoconferencing take place. Once you get the concept as to how the endpoints work, it would be easy for you to climb the ladder and study about the Telepresence Manager and the Multipoint switch.

Hence first identify the endpoints you would be working with. Once you know that, get the administrative guides for those endpoints and understand how they work. Next you can study the Multipoint switch, etc.
