Please refer to Table 1 for further details about important milestones in the product lifecycle.

2. Meeting Place v8.6 Type II Deployment Definition

In this type of deployment, “Scheduling” is done through the WebEx

Site, WebEx Productivity Tools, or WebEx

Assistant. Type II is the most common deployment type for MeetingPlace v8.6.

In a type II deployment the MeetingPlace Application Server is the only component deployed on-premises and the

rest is on the WebEx Cloud, including the email notification engine. In essence the MeetingPlace conferencing

system acts as the audio bridge for an already-provisioned WebEx site (Figure 1).

is the “connection” between the MeetingPlace Application Server and WebEx Cloud. It is responsible for all

communication between MeetingPlace and WebEx Cloud.

Cisco WebEx Site is a website hosted in the WebEx Cloud where users go to schedule, join, and manage

meetings.

The terms "type I" and "type II" [or type 1 and type 2] were originally introduced for the integration of

MeetingPlace 7.0 and 8.0 with WebEx. However, upon release of MeetingPlace v8.5, the terms "MeetingPlace
Scheduling" and "WebEx Scheduling" replaced the “type” names. Hence, some customers running on

MeetingPlace v8.5 and v8.6 may not be familiar with the terms "type I" and "type II".
