XYZ Corporation has more than 1000 Cisco video endpoints and they want a high availability solution for scheduling and OBTP. Which option do you recommend?
The correct answer is D. cluster of Cisco TelePresence Management Suite servers in active/passive failover mode. For large-scale deployments exceeding 1000 endpoints requiring high availability with scheduling and One Button to Push (OBTP), a clustered Cisco TelePresence Management Suite in active/passive failover mode is the recommended solution.

Why each option
For large-scale deployments exceeding 1000 endpoints requiring high availability with scheduling and One Button to Push (OBTP), a clustered Cisco TelePresence Management Suite in active/passive failover mode is the recommended solution.
A standalone TelePresence Manager server is the older, legacy product and provides no high availability or the scale needed for 1000+ endpoints.
Cisco TelePresence Manager (not TMS) does not support clustering and is a legacy product that has been superseded by TMS.
A standalone TMS server eliminates the single point of failure concern but provides no high availability failover for an environment of this size.
Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) supports active/passive failover clustering, which provides high availability by allowing a standby server to take over if the primary fails without data loss for scheduling and OBTP functionality. This design is specifically validated for large enterprise deployments with over 1000 endpoints. Active/passive failover ensures continuity of the conference scheduling database and OBTP push notifications.
A load-balanced TMS cluster is designed to distribute read traffic for scalability but does not provide the same database-consistent high availability failover as an active/passive cluster for scheduling and OBTP.
Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager is a lifecycle and assurance management tool and does not provide conference scheduling or OBTP functionality.
