RMS Enterprise may be deployed in a number of configurations to satisfy the needs of the customer.
These deployment options include a single server stand-alone solution in a local network up to a multi-
server deployment in a web farm for scalability, redundancy, and load balancing.
Data collected by the application is stored in an SQL database. For small deployments (<50 systems) this
may operate from an SQL Express instance however it is recommended, and in larger deployments,
required, that a separate SQL database be utilized.
Scheduler
RMS Enterprise Scheduler provides ad-hoc bookings and assists attendees in locating meeting rooms by
displaying the scheduled appointments on a touch screen in the meeting room and adjacent to room
entrances. It also provides automation capabilities for event start and end times.
The RMS Interface for Exchange (RMS-SCH-EWS) utilizes the Microsoft® Exchange Web Services API to
communicate with Exchange 2010 servers. This scheduling Plug-In updates scheduling information in
Exchange Server and that information also synchronizes with AMX Touch Panels via the RMS Exchange
Plug-In - making the scheduling information seamless between Outlook and AMX Touch Panels.
The RMS Enterprise Interface for Lotus Notes Domino (RMS-SCH-LN) provides access to multiple Notes
resources. This variety of connection options provides a robust and flexible solution for attaching RMS
application rooms to Notes calendars.
Network Impacts
AMX controllers, signage players and Enzo communicate with RMS Enterprise 4.X communicates with
the AMX central controller through a HTTP web services API. All communication is initiated from the
client device to allow for easy firewall transversal. All communication with the RMS server is performed
by these devices, however, as part of the control system infrastructure these may in turn connect to
third party devices and expose them to RMS.
Ports and protocols are listed in Appendix A. Due to the highly scalable nature of RMS a separate
document “RMS Enterprise Network & Scalability White Paper” is available on amx.com
