About Cisco Unified Communications Solutions by PBM IT - Call (888) 233-6471PBM IT Unified Communications Solutions are Cisco Gold Partner certified. Our staff is uniquely qualified to handle your Unified Communications needs. With Cisco Unified Communications, employees, business partners, and customers can connect in real time and conduct business across multiple work spaces. Cisco Unified Communications solutions use the network as a platform for collaboration. Cisco Call Manager ties traditional systems and circuits into an IP-based infrastructure using gateway devices. Gateway devices are responsible for translating the protocols and applications used in the PSTN to those used in the voice over IP (VoIP) world. Gateway interfaces come in traditional analog (FXO/FXS) and digital (T1/E1) flavors that are widely deployed today. Most of the traditional signaling mechanisms supported today are supported by these interfaces. Having a management solution that manages the entire solution—from the Cisco Unified Communications applications to the routers, switches, and gateways—enables your team to be more productive and provide a higher level of service for your users. Cisco messaging, conferencing, and customer contact applications integrate with both existing and unified communications systems to provide maximum flexibility and allow you to migrate to unified communications at your own pace. Most businesses will realize substantial savings and productivity gains by migrating to unified communications. Cisco unified communications combines individual systems with different communications capabilities into a cohesive, powerful communications system that unleashes human capabilities that are enabled from the utilization of the system. Whereas human collaboration has the power to transform, unified communications is the enabler. In our dynamic business environment, perhaps the most important benefit of Cisco Unified Communications comes from having a communications system that can change and grow on short notice and enable new capabilities for more effective business communications, employee mobility, streamlined business processes, and improved profitability. IP telephony provides a way for organizations to extend consistent communications services to all employees in their workspaces, whether they are in main campus locations, at branch offices, working remotely, or are mobile. IP telephony transmits voice and video communications over the network using the open-standards-based Internet Protocol. Cisco Unified Presence is a standards-based platform that collects information from multiple sources about user availability and communications capabilities to provide rich presence status and facilitate presence-enabled communications with Cisco Unified Communications and other critical business applications. Cisco Smart Business Unified Communications System offers small businesses a simple, affordable, easy-to-manage unified communications system, eliminates multiple servers and combines voice, data, voicemail, Automated Attendant, video, security, and wireless capabilities. It also supports the portfolio of Cisco Unified IP Phones, Internet connectivity with firewall protection, virtual private networks (VPNs), and wireless LAN access for reliable, highly secure communications. Combined with its optional desktop application support, Cisco Smart Business Communications System enables more effective collaboration by using simple yet powerful capabilities such as instant messaging, single-number reach, and desktop control of all calls and messages to help enrich the total communications experience. Cisco Unified Communications offers a new way of communicating that is more personal and timely. Instead of simply connecting products, the Cisco Unified Communications system provides structure and intelligence that helps organizations securely integrate their communications more closely with business processes, and ensure information reaches recipients quickly, through the most appropriate medium. The Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series for Small Businesses, or UC 500, is essentially a scaled-down version of Cisco's ISR (Integrated Services Router) platform. The UC 500 sports an eight-port PoE switch, 4 FXO (analog line) ports, 4 FXS ports (to connect analog phones), one Ethernet WAN connection port and one uplink port to connect an external switch. The UC 500 comes preloaded with both Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, which handles call routing and other VoIP functions, and Cisco Unity Express, which handles more advanced applications like voicemail and auto attendant/interactive voice response. All the features you'd expect are in there, including conferencing, intercom, and hold music from an internal file or an external source via the UC 500's audio jack. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express is an integrated voice, video, and Web conferencing solution that helps medium-sized organizations realize the cost savings and productivity benefits of deploying conferencing over internal networks. The solution provides simple, powerful conferencing functions that are easy to deploy and manage and includes phone, Microsoft Outlook, and Web interfaces for setting up, attending, and managing meetings. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT is a deployment option that is designed to extend the capabilities of Cisco Unified Communications Manager video telephony environments by enabling users to simply extend point-to-point voice and video communications to impromptu, multiparty voice, video, and Web conference. Security for Cisco Unified Communications is a natural extension of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, which identifies, prevents, and adapts to threats from both internal and external sources. Only Cisco offers a comprehensive systems approach to security for unified communications by protecting all levels of a unified communications system: the infrastructure, call management, endpoints, and applications. Cisco Unified Communications solutions offer integrated security features such as encryption to prevent eavesdropping, secure messaging to protect who can access and receive messages, phone authentication to protect against unauthorized handsets connecting to the network, and call-control security to ensure phone service is not disrupted by malicious activity. Cisco Self-Defending Network security solutions enhance unified communications security by providing a secure network platform upon which voice over IP (VoIP) is deployed. Granular voice-traffic validation and inspection performed by firewall functions in Cisco routers and the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance ensure traffic that purports to be voice actually is voice—and that it is abiding by company security policy. Cisco Intrusion Prevention solutions provide an added layer of security by stopping hacking and virus and worm attacks before they even reach the VoIP infrastructure. Companies both large and small have embraced the Cisco Unified Communications system as the first choice solution for making their individual businesses more efficient as well as more productive through the use of Internet Protocol (IP) based communications. |
