Adobe Media Server also reduces server load and latency by caching frequently accessed web pages, streams, and shared data. Some Adobe Media Server tasks include meeting recording and playback, timing the synchronization of audio and video, and transcoding-converting and packaging data for real‑time screen sharing and interaction. The application server handles meeting requests and content transfer requests (slides, HTTP pages, SWF files, and files in the File Share pod) over an HTTP or HTTPS connection.Ĭertain components of Adobe Media Server (AMS), also called the meeting server, are installed with Adobe Connect to handle real‑time audio and video streaming, data synchronization, and rich‑media content delivery, including Adobe Connect meeting interactions. It also transcodes media, including converting Microsoft PowerPoint and audio. Some of the application server’s duties include access control, security, quotas, licensing, and auditing and management functions such as clustering, failover, and replication. Called the application server, it manages users, groups, on‑demand content, and client sessions. The Adobe Connect Central Application Server is built as a J2EE web application running on the Tomcat servlet engine. An Adobe Connect installation consists of several components depending on user selection on the installer screen: Adobe Connect Central Application Server, Adobe AEM, Adobe Media Server, Adobe Connect, Adobe Media Gateway (for Universal Voice), a database, the Adobe Connect Telephony service, and telephony adaptors for audio conferencing.
