Which core component is supported by the Cisco Meeting Server 1000 and 2000, in addition to the Call Bridge, XMPP Server, and Database core components?

The Cisco Meeting Server (CMS) 1000 and 2000 platforms are designed to support single-server, all-in-one deployments. Official Cisco documentation for a "Single Combined Server Deployment" explicitly defines the standard set of co-located core components. This configuration includes the Call Bridge, XMPP Server, Database, and the Web Bridge. The Web Bridge is the essential component that serves the web application to browsers, enabling WebRTC clients (like the Cisco Meeting App) to join meetings. It works directly with the XMPP server for signaling and the Call Bridge for media, making it a fundamental part of a complete single-server solution.

A. Turn Server: While the TURN Server can be co-located, it is a supplementary component required only for specific network scenarios involving NAT traversal, not a fundamental part of the core functional group.
B. Load Balancer: The load balancer is a logical function for distributing traffic in scaled, multi-server deployments and is not a software component that runs on the CMS 1000/2000 appliance itself.
D. H.323 Gateway: This is an optional interoperability component for connecting with legacy H.323 endpoints. It is not considered part of the standard core component set for a typical single-server deployment. ---

1. Cisco, "Cisco Meeting Server Deployment Guide for Single Combined Server Deployments (3.1)": In the "About this deployment" section, the guide explicitly states: "A single combined deployment is where all the Cisco Meeting Server components (Call Bridge, Web Bridge, Database, and XMPP server) are installed on one server." This directly identifies the Web Bridge as the fourth core component in this standard configuration.

(Reference: Cisco Meeting Server Deployment Guide for Single Combined Server Deployments 3.1, Chapter: Introduction, Section: "About this deployment")

2. Cisco, "Cisco Meeting Server 1000 Data Sheet": The product overview describes the intended use of the appliance: "The Cisco Meeting Server 1000 is a single-server solution for smaller deployments. It runs all the required components on a single Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server: Call Bridge, Web Bridge, and XMPP server." This further reinforces that the Web Bridge is a primary, expected component for this platform.

3. Cisco, "Cisco Meeting Server API Reference Guide (3.8)": The guide lists the configurable components that can be enabled on a server. While turn and h323gateway are listed as valid, deployable components, the deployment guides (References 1 & 2) specify the core group for a single-server solution, which centrally includes webbridge.
