Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Prerequisites and Recommendations
This section describes prerequisites and best practices for installing and deploying Cisco TMSPE.
Estimating Your Deployment Size
The requirements for Cisco TMS depend on and grow with the size and complexity of the deployment. The complexity of
an installation is driven primarily by the volume of activity and number of endpoints controlled by and bookable in Cisco
TMS.

Use the following chart to identify the relative size of your deployment. If your intended deployment matches multiple
level criteria, apply the highest level.

Note that with Office 365, latency towards Exchange is likely to be greater than
for an on-premises deployment. This may lead to Cisco TMSXE occasionally
saving a booking before all related events have been processed. Users will
then receive multiple email notifications for the same booking.
