Abstract
A hybrid unified communications (UC) cloud system includes a global UC virtual data center and a plurality of regional UC virtual data centers (VDCs). Each regional VDC includes a regional system manager that manages a set of regional UC resources. Associated endpoint devices operate in at least one respective multi-tenant regional cloud and to employ corresponding regional UC resources thereof, operating in at least one service cluster of the respective multi-tenant regional cloud, to communicate real-time media traffic with respect to the associated endpoint devices. A regional resource manager provides status information to the regional system manager, based on utilization of resources, to control scaling of the regional UC resources responsive to the status information. The global UC virtual data center includes a global system manager to manage the regional UC VDCs and coordinates orchestration of UC resources between and/or among the regional UC VDCs.
