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.
Deploying meetings
Meeting features are provided primarily by the IBM® Sametime® Meeting Server, which creates online "meeting rooms" where users can present information and share applications. If you deploy the Sametime Media Manager, conferences can include audio and video features as well.
