Cisco Sales Network PBM IT Unified Communications Solutions - Call (888) 233-6471Cisco Sales Network PBM IT Unified Communications solutions provide your business with the expertise and infrastructure necessary to operate your business. With Cisco Unified Communications, employees, business partners, and customers can connect in real time and conduct business across multiple work spaces. Unified communications offers choice in how software applications can be deployed - onsite, hosted or on-demand. As your organization extends its unified communications deployments beyond the boundaries of the campus and branch networks, it must depend on secure remote access and mobility. New to the Cisco Unified Communications system are Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, Cisco Unified Presence Server and Customer Interaction Analyzer. 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. Organizations that use a single, primary vendor for IP telephony have a 43 percent lower network cost of ownership than those that use multiple vendors. Cisco is unique in that it offers a unified communications platform that it can deliver on its own. 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 offers a comprehensive portfolio of unified communications applications, including application development; rich-media conferencing; telephony applications; unified communications clients; and unified communications mobility, voicemail, and unified messaging, all of which enable more effective personal communications and collaboration. In addition, Cisco offers cost-effective licensing and software subscription to help customers maximize the full power of Cisco Unified Communications. Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances are easy-to-deploy solutions that integrate world-class firewall, Unified Communications (voice/video) security, SSL and IPsec VPN, intrusion prevention (IPS), and content security services in a flexible, modular product family. The Cisco Unified Communications system is an open and extensible platform for real-time communications based on presence, mobility and the intelligent information network. To understand unified communications, you need to understand Voice over IP (VoIP), which is technology that digitizes sound, divides that sound into packets of information, and transmits those packets over an IP network. VoIP evolved into IP telephony, essentially delivering sound to the desktop through IP phones. Cisco also offers integration with enterprise applications, such as CRM, and support for phone-based XML apps. As for devices, any Cisco IP phone, including the 7921 Wi-Fi phone, can be used in conjunction with the UC 500. The company says an eight-user VoIP deployment will list for about $699 per user when combined with Cisco's base IP phone, not including Wi-Fi and controller. 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. Using the Cisco Lifecycle Services approach, Cisco and its partners offer a broad portfolio of end-to-end services to support the Cisco Unified Communications system. These services are based on proven methodologies for deploying, operating, and optimizing IP communications solutions. Cisco and its partners offer a system-level service and support approach that can help you create and maintain a resilient, converged network that meets your business needs. |
