The following figure shows the archiving and monitoring architecture in Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

Figure 1. Archiving and monitoring architecture in Office Communications Server 2007 R2

The Front-End server hosts an archiving and CDR agent, which is part of the RTCSrv process, to capture archiving and CDR data which is transferred over Message Queuing (also known as MSMQ) to the Archiving Server and Monitoring Server respectively. The Archiving Server and Monitoring Server are separate Office Communications Server roles.

Similarly, the Front End contains a QoE agent, which is part of the RTCQMS process, to capture QoE data. The QoE data is transferred over Message Queuing to the Monitoring Server.

In Office Communications Server 2007 R2, the CDR function moves to the Monitoring Server from the Archiving Server with which it was a co-located in Office Communications Server 2007. CDR data accumulation and reporting requirements have characteristics more in common with QoE data than Archiving data, which drove the evolution in architecture.
