ADOBE CONNECT 6.0

Technical Overview

Architecture

Traditionally, users connect directly to the primary Enterprise Server or cluster, which handles authentication, access

control, on-demand and real-time video, audio, and data delivery. The communication, as demonstrated in the

following example, results in one thousand individual connections between clients and the server. If you take this

deployment further, and consider regional office connections, these additional clients initiate direct connections to

Enterprise Server as well. This additional traffic results in high bandwidth requirements between the regional offices

and the primary server, and potentially increases latency during the meeting experience.

The increased demand in connections when Enterprise Server serves multiple regional offices and many users

Edge servers address this deployment concern by consolidating regional office streams before they connect to the

primary server. Organizations can also cluster edge servers to provide system redundancy and increased capacity at

the edge. Instead of five hundred unique connections between the remote office and the server, the edge server

consolidates requests for meetings, real-time streams (such as VoIP or video) and content, reducing the number of

streams from five hundred to one in the case of all users connecting to the same large Acrobat Connect Professional

meeting (see the following example). Requests for HTTP-based content (such as on-demand content or courses) are

not combined but the results are cached so multiple requests for that content do not result in multiple requests to the

server. This caching not only dramatically reduces network traffic, but also reduces load on the origin Enterprise

Server or cluster.
