Overview of MaxMobile Server 2011

The MaxMobile Server can be installed All-In-One (up to 1000 users), or the server roles may be separated to facilitate high availability and maximum scalability (up to 150,000 users).

When a redundant server is activated in the MaxMobile Server architecture, the Front-End Server automatically load balances the traffic between the servers, without the need for a hardware load balancer.

Server Roles

• Front-End Server: Web Admin GUI, provisioning, redundancy, license control • Mobile Application Server: Registrar, contact management, presence indication • Media Server: G.711 and G.729 codec resource management, transcoding • MaxMobile Proxy Server: Registers to Lync via SIP/UCMA/ Trusted Application • Visual Voicemail Server: Exchange 2010 UM sync

The web-based administration GUI is easy to use. Administrators can provision and license users individually or automatically via Active Directory group membership. The Active Directory groups are synchronized automatically once every 24 hours. The synchronization may be manually initiated when necessary, via the GUI.

Because the MaxMobile smartphone client has the ability to call via the PSTN or the embedded SIP Stack over WiFi, the Administrator has the option to restrict usage to GSM/CDMA Only (more secure but uses minutes in a cell plan), VoIP Only (is as secure as the WiFi connection, but does not use minutes on the cell plan), or the unrestricted selection of Auto-Select (selected by the user at the time of the call).

Server Benefits
