The capability includes Web Conferencing (session management, text messaging, application sharing\/broadcasting, audio, presence and awareness, voting\/polling, video, multiple sessions, and recording) and Instant Messaging (IM).<\/p>\n<p>DCS supports Common Access Card (CAC) and select hard token holders and unanticipated (select DOD mission partners) users. Anticipated users are issued accounts which authorize privileges to manage\/control collaboration sessions, whereas unanticipated users are provided ad hoc guest access without pre-specified roles\/permissions.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Capacity<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>DCS can scale to handle 10,000 concurrent users with a maximum of 250 participants per web conference. Mission partners requiring collaboration above 250 participants can leverage DISA&#8217;s Global Content Delivery Service (GCDS) in lieu of DCS. The DCS Chat service is scalable to support 100,000 concurrent users.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Service Continuity<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>DCS ensures continuity of operations (COOP) through a fault-tolerant design. DCS can tolerate the failure of one of any type of component. The system is designed to continue operating in the event of a single failure of any one component in the primary site.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/disa\/DCS.pdf\">Defense Collaboration Services (DCS) Fact Sheet<\/a>\u00a0[2 Pages, 0.5MB]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/disa\/DefenseCollaborationServicesPIVActivationGuide.pdf\">Defense Collaboration Services PIV Activation Guide, May 2015<\/a> [116 Pages, 12.4MB]<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/disa\/DefenseCollaborationServicesPIVActivationGuide.pdf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background Defense Collaboration Services (DCS) enables synchronous communication among the Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) and Secure Internet Protocol Routing Network (SIPRNet).
