Managed Dynamic Server
Behind every openVisavid conference is a core system that dynamically distributes participants across multiple server instances—the so-called Managed Dynamic Server, also known as the mesh system. It ensures that individual server instances are not overloaded and that no capacity goes unused.
Higher performance – lower resource usage
Whether it's a small group meeting or a large conference with many concurrent sessions, the Basis system ensures that performance remains stable without you having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. It's infrastructure that thinks for itself.
Video conferencing is a form of real-time communication that only works if the systems have sufficient computing power and memory to support it. For this reason, most providers of open-source video conferencing technology use a one-to-one model: one server instance is provisioned per video conference.
In one implementation, these server instances are dynamically allocated and released again when the video conferences end. This ensures stable and somewhat scalable operation.
openVisavid takes this a big step further. The strict assignment of server instances to video conferences is eliminated. Participants in a video conference can be dynamically distributed across multiple server instances, thereby ensuring they are utilized appropriately. This prevents both underutilization and overloading of server instances. For example, if several thousand people unexpectedly join a video conference, they are distributed in real time across as many server instances as necessary to prevent overloading.
