Virtualization Manager (DMA) is responsible for managing conferences, call control, and 

signaling and acting as the conference focus. It communicates with the RealPresence 

Collaboration Server using the SIP protocol. Additionally, the RealPresence Virtualization 

Manager (DMA) provides a Northbound REST API for creating virtual meeting rooms 

(VMR). Enabling SVC-based conferences on VMRs can be done by configuring the
