Can utput a dedicated multimedia stream t enterprise CDN (Cntent Delivery Netwrk) streaming and recrding services such as Wwza, Adbe, VBrick, and Micrsft Azure, and t public streaming services such as YuTube. Ability t PIN-prtect cnferences and differentiate between Hsts and Guests. Ability t lck a cnference t prevent any further participants frm jining. Ability t limit the number f participants in a cnference, n a per-cnference basis. Ability t limit the bandwidth used by each participant, n a per-cnference basis. Ability t re-brand with yur wn images and vice prmpts, n a per-cnference basis. Ability t re-brand the Infinity Cnnect experience Ability t integrate Infinity Cnnect (WebRTC/RTMP) functinality with third-party applicatins and websites via a frnt-end SDK.

6 Pexip Infinity versin 9 Specificatins and Requirements Hst hardware requirements CPU We recmmend Intel Xen E5-2600/4600 series (Sandy Bridge-EP architecture), 2.7 GHz r higher. We recmmend 8, 10 r 12 physical cres per scket. RAM Dependent n the number f CPUs, but generally: Minimum 2 GB f RAM per Cnferencing Nde, plus 2 GB per hst. We recmmend 1 GB (r mre) RAM per physical cre. Minimum 4 GB RAM fr the Management Nde. GPU Hst servers d nt require any specific hardware cards r GPUs. OS The Pexip Infinity VMs run n bare-metal hypervisrs s n OS shuld be installed. Netwrk Gigabit Ethernet cnnectivity is strngly recmmended. In general, yu can expect Mbps per prt, depending n call cntrl setup. Multiple VMs sharing the same hardware Pexip Infinity Cnferencing Ndes and Management Ndes may share the same physical hst. Pexip ndes may als share the same physical hst with ther virtual machines. Pexip virtual machines must be cnfigured with dedicated CPU and memry resurces, i.e. Pexip virtual machines d nt supprt versubscriptin. Service prvider cnsideratins A Pexip deplyment can manage multiple custmers in varius ways: Single Management Nde, multiple dmains, shared Cnferencing Ndes A single installatin with ne Management Nde and ne r mre Cnferencing Ndes is used by all custmers. Call cntrl r DNS sends calls fr all dmains t the shared Cnferencing Ndes. Des nt prvide dedicated capacity per custmer. Single Management Nde, multiple dmains, dedicated Cnferencing Ndes One r mre Cnferencing Ndes per custmer. Allws fr dedicated capacity per custmer. Dedicated Management Nde and dedicated Cnferencing Ndes per custmer instance Allws fr clse custmer netwrk integratin, using VLANs, hsted n a shared server farm with multiple VLANs. The dedicated Management Nde allws fr custmer self-management. Capacity Capacity is dependent n server specificatins. As a general indicatin, using ur recmmended hardware (Intel Sandy Bridge, 8 cres, 2.7 GHz) Pexip Infinity can cnnect: up t tw High Definitin 720p30 calls per CPU cre (based n 1.1 GHz per call plus 20% headrm) up t 20 audi-nly AAC-LD calls at 64 kbps. Servers that are lder, have slwer prcessrs, r have fewer CPUs, will have a lwer verall capacity Pexip AS Versin 9.a April 2015 Page 6 f 7

7 Pexip Infinity versin 9 Specificatins and Requirements Hypervisr requirements VMware The Pexip Infinity platfrm supprts VMware vsphere ESXi 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, and later. We recmmend at least the Standard editin. The Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editins have additinal features that can be taken advantage f by Pexip Infinity in larger deplyments. The Pexip Infinity platfrm will run n the free editin f vsphere Hypervisr. Hwever, this editin has a number f limitatins that mean we d nt recmmend its use except in smaller deplyments, r test r dem envirnments. Ntably, autmatic deplyment f Cnferencing Ndes is nt supprted. Micrsft Hyper-V The Pexip Infinity platfrm supprts Micrsft Hyper-V in the frm f Micrsft Hyper-V Server 2012 and later, and Windws Server 2012 and later. Other hypervisrs and rchestratin layers Cnferencing Ndes can be prvisined with a cnfiguratin dcument generated independently f a generic VM image. This permits deplyment f Pexip Infinity nt unsupprted hypervisrs as well as nt supprted hypervisrs that are managed by an rchestratin layer Pexip AS Versin 9.a April 2015 Page 7 f 7
