Cisco Sales Network in California, CA:About Cisco Unified Communications Solutions by PBM IT - Call (888) 233-647.Cisco Unified Communications Solutions provided by PBM IT provide your business with certified engineering support that allows you to focus on your primary business functions instead of on IT considerations. Cisco Unified Communications accelerates decision making and customer service cycles. Cisco Unified Communications offers rich media conferencing such as Webex and Cisco MeetingPlace that provide complete conferencing solutions. The return on investment (ROI) related to a Cisco Unified Communication system deployment is greatly accelerated because there is no longer a need for smaller PBXs or key systems deployed at remote sites. As long as there is IP reach ability from the IP phone to the Call Manager, phone calls can be made. Device may also be connected to the Internet as long as they have secure VPN tunnels to reach the internal Call Manager. The Cisco Unified Communications system is based on the Cisco industry-leading IP Communications portfolio including Cisco CallManager, Cisco Unity, Cisco MeetingPlace and Cisco IP Contact Center and now includes additional innovative products, applications, features and capabilities. Cisco Unified Communications integrates all forms of communications and collaboration systems and devices into a single, unified system that delivers more efficient and effective communications. Cisco builds voice and other unified communications into the network so enhanced communication and collaboration go everywhere the network goes. And because Cisco integrates intelligence throughout the network, unified communications are more secure, more reliable, and easier to manage. Cisco IP communications technologies deliver innovation through the convergence of voice and data networks, providing accessibility features and capabilities. Cisco WebEx Connect is an enterprise-class, on-demand unified communications client that combines instant messaging, team spaces, and business applications to bring people, data, and processes together. WebEx Connect is the first collaborative software as a service (SaaS) platform that allows developers and customers to integrate multiple applications to create powerful collaborative business solutions. The following free-to-download and easy-to-add Cisco Unified Communications Widgets provide a productive and personalized user experience with Cisco Unified Communications applications and Cisco Unified IP Phones: (1) Phone Designer enables you to quickly customize Cisco Unified IP Phone displays with wallpapers of your choice and to create or change ring tones, (2) Click to Call for PCs lets you connect and collaborate with everyone by instantly placing Cisco Unified Communications Manager calls directly from your desktop productivity applications and web browsers, and (3) Visual Voicemail enables you to view, listen, and respond to Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Connection voicemail messages right from the Cisco Unified IP Phone display, without having to dial into your corporate voicemail box. Cisco offers a wide range of multimedia conferencing solutions that integrate voice, video, and web conferencing capabilities to make remote meetings natural and effective. According to Frost & Sullivan, Cisco is the market leader in both web conferencing and on-premises voice conferencing. Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the software-based media-processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications system, provides a scalable, highly available IP telephony call-processing solution. With its flexible deployment options, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can meet any need—from telecommuters, mobile workers, and distributed offices to the largest enterprise. With the ability to cluster multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers and manage them as a single entity—a capability unique to Cisco—system capacity can scale to 1 million users in a network with 100 sites or more, with built-in redundancy to ensure reliable service. Cisco Unified Communications Manager comes with a host of innovative and robust features, including integration with Microsoft Outlook address books for simplified dialing, analysis, and reporting tools for detailed call records, a receptionist console, and conference calling. 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 Videoconferencing provides multiparty video conferencing for traditional room-based and desktop video conferencing. The solution connects three or more H.323, H.320, SIP, or Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) video conference endpoints in a single, multiparticipant meeting. 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. The Cisco Technology Developer Program, meanwhile, includes companies that foster innovation, help develop industry standards, and accelerate the integration of business-critical technologies into the Cisco network infrastructure. Their solutions, which are tested for interoperability with Cisco Intelligent Information Network infrastructure, address applications ranging from content networking and customer contact to security, storage, and wireless networking. |
