Vinteo Servers scaling and fault tolerance

To organize a video conferencing service (hereinafter referred to as VCS) based on Vinteo, one physical server is sufficient but to obtain a fault-tolerant system and a system that can withstand high loads it is necessary to use a cluster of several servers.

There are two server roles in the Vinteo system:

• communication server and management server (hereinafter it referred to as the management server);
• media server.

There can only be one management server in the system during operation. The number of media servers is defined as N+1; minimum one media server. The minimum number of physical servers is one; it is combining both roles. When using redundancy we get another management server to hot-swap the primary management server if it fails.
