Server location

Select a location, such as your company’s computer room, for 
your Web and audio servers.

MeetingPlace Web server 
requirements

• Windows 2000 Server edition (SE) or Advanced Server 

edition with Service Pack 2 or higher, and all corresponding 
Microsoft security patches installed.

The following are recommended minimum specifications 

for the Windows server(s) running MeetingPlace Web. Servers 
that do not meet these specifications may experience 
performance issues. Because MeetingPlace Web is a CPU- and 
RAM-intensive application, servers with greater CPU and RAM 
specifications provide better performance.

• A Windows server dedicated to Cisco applications is required 

based on the number of user licenses (ports) in your 
MeetingPlace system.
For up to 120 user licenses with MeetingPlace Web 
Conferencing Option installed:
- 500 MHz Pentium III
- 256 MB RAM
- 9 GB disk space
For over 120 user licenses with MeetingPlace Web 
Conferencing Option installed:
- 1 GHz Pentium III CPU
- 512 MB RAM
- 12 GB disk space

• Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0

• Microsoft Windows Networking Support

• (Optional) CD-ROM drive for installation

• Network Interface Card

• TCP/IP protocol

• For presentations:

- Ensure that all corporate fonts and standard Microsoft fonts, 
including Microsoft PowerPoint fonts, are loaded onto the 
MeetingPlace server.
- MeetingPlace uses a machine configuration dependent 
graphics context to render images for presentations. The 
number of colors available in the system’s graphics context is 
an important limiting factor. For example, if the video driver 
for a server running MeetingPlace Web is set up to display 
256 colors, images produced on that server are limited to 256 
colors.
