Avaya Equinox Streaming and Recording Server
For the streaming and recording of conferences, Avaya has developed the Avaya Equinox
Streaming and Recording Server (Equinox Streaming and Recording). Equinox Streaming and
Recording is the Avaya next generation HD streaming and recording platform. The Avaya Equinox
Streaming and Recording Server replaces the Avaya Scopia Content Center Recording Server
(SCC) server.
Before you install Equinox Streaming and Recording, you must make a number of decisions in order
to ensure that the solution exactly matches the requirements of your deployment. For example, you
must make a decision about scalability in accordance with the size of your enterprise. For a small
enterprise, you can choose a single appliance which houses all of the Equinox Streaming and
Recording components. For a large enterprise, you can choose a distributed solution with multiple
media nodes. Equinox Streaming and Recording is highly flexible and easily adaptable, whatever
your requirements. In addition, you must decide if you require a high degree of redundancy
1
and
whether you would like to enable external access and storage in the ‘cloud’. In both the Over The
Top (OTT) and Team Engagement (TE) solutions, Equinox Streaming and Recording is optional,
however if you want to record and playback videoconferences, you must install it.
If you would like users outside of the enterprise to access recordings, you can deploy Equinox
Streaming and Recording in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) or use a reverse proxy server. In this way,
the Equinox Streaming and Recording is similar to the Avaya Scopia
®
Web Collaboration server
(WCS). If you would like users outside of the enterprise to access the videoconference, you must
deploy the WCS in a DMZ or use a reverse proxy server. Equinox Streaming and Recording and
WCS also support a Network Address Translation NAT Firewall configuration in a DMZ deployment.
NAT Firewall is an additional layer of security. It blocks unrequested inbound traffic.
