Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.

Installing and setting up a stand-alone Sametime Community Mux

Installing and setting up a stand-alone IBM® Sametime® Community Mux server involves the following procedures.

The minimum system requirements for the Sametime Community Mux are the same as the system requirements for the Sametime Community Server. A Sametime Community Mux hosted on a computer that meets the minimum system requirements supports approximately 20,000 simultaneous client connections. Tests indicate that computers with dual 1133 MHz CPUs and 2 GB of RAM support approximately 30,000 simultaneous client connections. TCP/IP connectivity must be available between the Sametime Community Mux and the Sametime Community Server. By default, the Sametime Community Server listens on port 1516 for connections from the Sametime Community Mux.
