What is OCS 2007 R2 Group Chat Server

Group Chat Server

Its an optional role of Office Communications Server to host the persistent chat sessions. During persistent chat sessions offered by Group chat server, along with all IM, files, Web links, and other data that were part of the ongoing conversation.

Group chat server lets you create chat rooms to chat in more persistent way. With introduction of Group Chat, OCS now offers both persistent and non persistent way of chatting.

Group Chat functionality consists of the following components:

Group Chat Server, which runs three server roles: Lookup Server, Channel Server, and Web Services

Group Chat database
Compliance Server for archiving group chat activity, if required to meet compliance regulations compliance
Compliance database

Group Chat cant work all alone. You need to have Office Communications Server before you deploy the Group Chat server.

In a Group Chat topology, the following considerations apply:

Group Chat Server and the group chat database must be installed on separate computers.

Compliance Server, if deployed, must be installed on a separate computer from Group Chat Server.

The Group Chat database and the compliance database can be a shared database for small deployments.


Group Chat functionality can be scaled by adding up to two additional Group Chat Servers.


 
OCS Made Easy!
