Abstract

• Cisco Spark is a constantly evolving cloud platform with innovation happening in the cloud and on the Cisco Spark app. Have you ever thought about the communication path and the impact it has on your network? Presently all point to point and multipoint calls will meet in the cloud increasing your Internet bandwidth requirements. How would you like to alleviate this problem by having meetings on premise? This session is designed to be an introductory session on the new Cisco Spark Hybrid Media Service. It will discuss a brief overview of Cisco Spark. What is the Hybrid Media Node and why do I need it in my organization? What are the requirements for installation, installation procedure, configuration and management in your organization? What are architecture considerations for adding Hybrid Media Service and general call flows involving the Hybrid Media Node.

Fun Fact for TodayBirthday

Douglas Carl Engelbart was an American electrical engineer and

inventor who invented the computer mouse, which he developed in the

1960s and patented 17 Nov 1970.

For input, he also collaborated in the invention of joystick, track ball and

light pen devices. It was part of his larger work developing a computer

graphical user interface (as opposed to merely keyboard input and text

display). This involved a multiple window display, and the ability to display

not only text, but also images, audio, video in a single document.

After earning his Ph.D. (1955), he joined the Stanford Research Institute

(SRI). There, he also worked on ARPANET. By 9 Dec 1968, at a computer

conference, he conducted the world's first video conference, multiple

window display, as well as collaboration online, and his mouse device for

input. Further research was done at Xerox.

Installation Process


Media Node Registration

1. Registration process starts from management portal by adding a new node

2. Redirects to Hybrid Media Node

3. Hybrid Media Node runs tests (device, connectivity checks)

4. Customer admin gives permission to register the device

5. Redirect back to Hybrid Media Node with an encrypted token

6. Hybrid Media Node checks account represented by the token for correct rights

7. Hybrid Media Node uses the token to create a unique machine account

8. Hybrid Media Node uses the machine account to register to organization

9. Registration is complete

Points to remember

1. App or device ask Cisco Collaboration Cloud for media clusters to use

2. Response gives media clusters and nodes within the cluster to test

3. App and devices test reachability and RTD to the nodes

4. Reports information to the cloud a meeting start.

5. Cisco Collaboration Cloud tells the device or app where the meeting is hosted.

Key points to remember in architecting a HMN solution

• Deploy Hybrid Media Nodes in the large campus sites

• Start small and grows as needed• 6 or more participants in the meeting, HMN saves bandwidth

• Large number of internal meetings without WebEx app or desktop participants, saves Internet bandwidth

• Deploying HMN in branch offices can help or hinder the architecture

• Depends on the amount and type of video systems in the branch

• Depends on the participants in the meeting (local, remote branch or Internet…think cascade impact)

• Continuously monitor analytics, add more nodes and/or clusters based the observed traffic and meeting locations (Hybrid Media, Overflow, or Cloud)

One recommendation does not fit all deployments

Cisco Spark Control HubReports


Cisco Spark Control Hubhttps:// admin.ciscospark.com

• Hybrid Media Service Reports enables administrator to understand the

trend of their on premises resource capacity and utilization, as well as

availability that impacts capacity.

• New call activity graph gives an overall perspective of the number of

calls hosted on the cloud vs the number of calls that were hosted on

on-premises clusters in an organization.

• New Adoption tab added to the reports to help administrators find the

most popular categories of client types and utilization in the

organization.

In the existing software for 'Hybrid Media Service Reports', only 'On-Premises' and 'Overflow

to Cloud' information of participants were displayed on the cards.

In the new release’s reports, the functionality is enhanced, wherein the 'Cloud Calls'

information is displayed along with the 'On-Premises' and 'Overflow to Cloud' information as

part of Donut chart

Resources reports : Total Calls and Cloud Calls Cards

Total Calls: Sum of the calls that were hosted on-premises and calls that were hosted on the cloud.

Cloud Calls: No of calls in the organization that were hosted on a cloud cluster.

On-Premises : No of calls in the organization who were hosted on on-premises clusters.

In the existing software, the perspective of the calls that were made only when the

participants were within an enterprise network was shown. There was no visibility of the calls

that are made when the participants were outside the enterprise network.

In the new release’s reports, a new “Call Activity” graph is introduced. This graph gives an

overall perspective of the number of calls hosted on the cloud vs the number of calls that

were hosted on on-premises clusters in an organization.

Resources reports : Call Activity graph with active cloud calls

Calls that overflowed to the cloud will be displayed on the cloud

graph

In the existing software, there was no provision to view the distribution pattern of the calls that were

hosted on-premises, across the clusters in an organization .

In the release’s reports, the Call Distribution' graph is introduced to :

• Enable the admin to compare the data about the calls hosted across the various clusters in an

organization over time.

Resources reports : Call Distribution Report for On-Premises Clusters

• Any redirects that occur on a cluster are displayed. This would

help an admin with better capacity planning

Reports

New Report “Adoption”


This graph will enable admin to see total number of meetings hosted by the

Organization.

These graph will be broken down by

1. Entire meetings hosted in the cloud (all participants are in the cloud)

2. Meetings hosted on-premises (all participants are on-premises)

3. Meetings that are cascaded (some participants are in the cloud and some on-premises) between on-

premises and cloud

The Client Type card will help administrator to find the

most popular categories of client types and utilization in

the Organization.

Adoption Reports- Type of clients Card and Graph

The Client Type distribution graph plot the trend of usage of client type for each participants (e.g. Android,

Cisco Spark Board, SIP client, Desktop etc.)

• Problem

• Media traffic goes to the cloud for all meetings

• No local option for media traffic

• Solution: Hybrid Media Service, specifically Hybrid Media Node.

Summary

• Installation requirements and process

• Software based product, demo and full versions

• Simple 10 minute installation

• Managed via the Cisco Spark Control Hub

• Media Node Discovery

• Cisco Spark devices ask the cloud for the enterprise clusters

• STUN/RTT test to find nearest cluster

• Utilizes on premises clusters before cloud nodes

• Cascade links are initiated from the premises to the cloud

Summary

• SIP endpoint and WebEx support

• SIP endpoints can utilize Hybrid Media Node for cloud meetings

• SIP trunk from CUCM or neigbhor zone from Expressway – C is required

• WebEx needs to be on the new platform and recent version.

• Enable WebEx to accept Hybrid Media node in the CMR configuration screen.

Agenda

• Design Considerations

• Hybrid Media Node is beneficial if placed in proper locations on the network.

• Start small and grow as needed.

• Great benefit for all local participant meetings

• Bandwidth savings when using room based systems in meetings vs cascade requirements.

• Reports

• New adoption reports to see device utilization of Hybrid Media Node

• New reports to see on premises, overflow and cloud participants.
