3.3 Who: which endpoints to record
The first thing to do is define the number of endpoints that need to be recorded and where they are,
both geographically and in terms of their position on the network. You may want to create a matrix that
lists:
each endpoint address
the country it’s in (if relevant)
the gatekeeper it’s attached to
its likely bandwidth.
3.3.1 Example: General Mortgage Bank
For the sake of example, let’s look at a hypothetical customer, the
General Mortgage Bank
(GMB). The
bank’s compliance team wants to be able to record video conferences for several different groups in a
number of countries that have different compliance regulations.
They want to record:
their board meetings, which take place every month via video conference from the boardrooms in
London, Tokyo and New York
their trader conversations, which are generally short calls made from 20 desks on two trading
floors in London equipped with videophones
calls from the management in the New York office
at their CEO’s discretion, his calls to business partners and clients.
This gives a total of 48 endpoints:
3 in the boardrooms in London, New York and Tokyo, used once a month for an entire day
40 desks on the London trading floors, used ten hours a day for numerous short calls
4 in the New York office which are on permanently
1 in the CEO’s office, used once or twice a day for calls of up to an hour.
The matrix for GMB might look something like this:
