Introduction to Cisco_Meeting_Management_3_4_0_vSphere-6_5.ova

Cisco Meeting Management (CMM) 3.4.0 is a critical component of Cisco’s on-premises video collaboration ecosystem, designed to simplify license management, meeting monitoring, and policy enforcement for Cisco Meeting Server deployments. The Cisco_Meeting_Management_3_4_0_vSphere-6_5.ova file represents the preconfigured virtual appliance optimized for VMware vSphere 6.5 environments, released on December 15, 2021. This OVA package enables centralized administration of meeting resources, license allocation tracking, and integration with Cisco Smart Licensing for automated compliance reporting.

As part of Cisco’s unified collaboration architecture, this version enhances interoperability with Cisco Meeting Server clusters and third-party scheduling tools like Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS). Administrators can manage up to 24-node Meeting Server clusters through its web interface while maintaining compatibility with modern security frameworks.
