The Polycom RealPresence Distributed Media Application (DMA) is a unique network-based virtualization application that provides conference manager and call server functionality for managing and distributing calls across collaboration networks. Additionally, the RealPresence DMA system optionally allows an Application Programming Interface (API) client application to access the Polycom RealPresence Platform API.

The RealPresence DMA system is available in an Appliance Edition and a Virtual Edition (packaged as software only) that can be deployed on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure cloud.

The RealPresence DMA system in edge configuration or combination configuration can be easily configured using the DMA Deployment Wizard.
