OTES functions provided by Reverse Proxy (1/3)
Reminder: OTES is a front-end server allowing an external guest (or a corporate user) to join,
via OTC Web, a conference/web collaboration through a HTTPs session
OT R2.2.1 simplifies the edge infrastructure which is required for the following use cases:
Remote corporate user using the OTC client from the Internet (without VPN)
Remote guest participants to a scheduled conference configured on the OpenTouch server
Benefits
Standard Reverse Proxy is expected to reach better IS/IT adoption than OTES
Less operational costs, no strong dependencies between edge server and OT server as with OTES
Multi-tenancy capabilities of standard Reverse Proxy

Remote worker configuration: support of AAPP qualified RPs, as well as the ones compliant with OT
requirements (refer to Official statement regarding reverse proxies application note available on
BPWS)
External guest configuration: only support of AAPP qualified RPs, due to its more complex tuning
Currently, only NGINX-Plus R10 has been qualified ongoing work with BlueCoat
OTES remains available in R2.2.1 but the component will be removed in R2.3 (targeted for MLE offer H1 2017)
Refer to Solutions for remote user access OpenTouch presentation for more details

OTES functions provided by Reverse Proxy (3/3)
New sales
ALE strongly recommends to not deploy anymore OTES to address external guest use case but instead
to consider NGINX-Plus Reverse Proxy (*)
If no other choices, OTES is still available in R2.2.1
Install base
External guest only topology
Topology with both remote worker and external guest use cases
If the Reverse Proxy is already NGINX-Plus, integration of OTES functions requires a configuration update
If the Reverse Proxy is not NGINX-Plus,
either check with AAPP the possibility to qualify the concerned Reverse Proxy
or replace, in the edge infrastructure, the OTES by a NGINX-Plus dedicated to external guest use case
(*) The IWR provides complete RP configuration files samples for both remote worker and guest use cases

Functional restrictions
Conversation users are not supported in an OpenTouch network
OpenTouch native High Availability is not supported
VMware HA service can be used instead
A local Connection user joining a scheduled conference configured on a remote OT node is connected
with audio + data only, without video media
Connection users belong to an OT supervision group must be declared on the same OT node
No integration with Skype for Business / Sametime
No need for OT networking when collaboration services are provided by Microsoft / IBM
Maintenance operations
No direct rehosting: remove first the OT node from the network before performing the rehosting
Backup & restore: ALE recommends to force full synchronization before launching the backup
Moving a user on another node implies a user deletion/re-creation: all the user settings are lost
