INDICO Event Management and Collabora7on

Indico

Born as a European Project. Developed since 2004 by CERN, released as Open Source (hTp://indico-so^ware.org). Used in more than 100 ins7tu7ons world wide

Web-based, mul7-plajorm mee7ng/conference storage and management system. The so^ware allows the storage of documents and metadata related to real events

Most of the events that take place in the organiza7on are scheduled through Indico, so that the whole community can follow them and collaborate

Day-to-day mee7ngs are easily manageable, allowing the par7cipants to submit materials and share them with others, as well as joining video-conferences, webcasts and other real-7me events

Provides standard workow, allowing users to request services such as webcast and recording.

Indico Features

Indico provides features for the management of the en7re conference lifecycle, as well as for mee7ngs and simple lectures:

Mul7lingual interface Support for dierent 7me zones Powerful tools for conference organizers:

- WYSIWYG registra7on form creator - abstract and paper reviewing workows - integra7on with e-payment systems

Support for videoconferencing so^ware Accessible and usable interface. Powerful HTTP API that allows

- informa7on retrieval in several formats - easy integra7on with calendaring tools - An integrated extensible room booking system

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Wowza Push Publishing

Allows you to scale beyond your own IT infrastructure and network

Use Push Publishing to push streams to: Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for re-streaming Other media servers running Streaming Engine

so^ware Or mul7cast networks

Transcode on Origin Servers and Push to Edge Servers

Push Publish to CDN to scale stream to thousands of simultaneous viewers

Load Balancing

CERN balance the connec7on load of their 13 Edge Servers with DNS Load Balancing using their own IT/Network infrastructure.

Wowza oers a free Dynamic Load Balancing AddOn that provides a method for dynamically distribu7ng connec7on load between mul7ple edge servers, which is essen7al for ecient distribu7on of connec7on requests to the least loaded servers when deploying networks of mul7ple edge servers.
