MetaFrame Conferencing Manager is more than just a single application but it has been developed in several components and services. Two of those components run as published applications on MetaFrame XP server(s) and the other on any member server of the same domain as the MetaFrame XP farm.Having separate components gives you the flexibility for you to install each of the components (Conference Organizer, Conference Room and MetaFrame Conferencing Manager Client) to different servers.
If you are deploying Conferencing Manager in a workgroup you are required to install all the components on a single MetaFrame XP server.
If you are deploying in a domain, you can install the different components on individual servers. Installing multiple instances of the MetaFrame Conferencing Manager User interface and the Conference Room component allows you to benefit by load balancing the two components that run as published applications.
Citrixs best practice suggests that the Conference Room components be installed to dedicated servers (this is where the conferences are hosted). Conference Organizer may be installed on any one of the Conference Room servers. The User Interface component may be installed on the servers hosting your other productivity applications.
Citrix MetaFrame Conferencing Manager consists of the following three components in more detail:
