Scalability and resiliency
Unified CM provides excellent resiliency if using a prefix method where conferences are not configured on a
specific MCU. Setting static meeting numbers up on MCUs limits resiliency. Many MCUs can be added to
Unified CM in order to provide a large pool of available ports.
