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 audio and video
Audio and video features are provided primarily by the IBM® Sametime® Media Manager, which supports point-to-point and multipoint calls. The Sametime Media Manager uses standard audio and video codecs so that it works with products from other audio and video vendors.
Installing Sametime® Bandwidth Manager
The IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager is an optional component that lets you configure bandwidth usage settings for your Sametime deployment.

About this task

Note: These instructions install a stand-alone Bandwidth Manager. You will not be able to change your mind and add the server to a cluster later. If you think you may ever need to install in a cluster, you should create a cluster now. For information on a clustered deployment, see Clustering Sametime Bandwidth Managers.

For details on best practices for deploying the Sametime Bandwidth Manager, see the following Community article in the Sametime wiki: Bandwidth Manager Deployment - Best Practices.
