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. Cisco secure unified communications help coworkers, partners, vendors, and customers collaborate using any combination of clients, applications, and devices. Cisco Unified Communications uses IP Telephony and offers a suite of media control and IP phone solutions. 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. For organizations with up to 500 users, Cisco Unity Connection is available as a single-server solution with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, further simplifying installation, maintenance, and support. Cisco continues to bridge the communications islands with innovative solutions building on the enterprise Wi-Fi (802.11) networks and the GSM public networks. In conjunction with leading wireless handset suppliers such as Nokia and RIM, Cisco will soon bring to market single and dual mode Smartphone solutions which drive enhanced productivity of mobile enterprise employees both inside and outside the office. These single device products allow users to reduce the communications complexity and help companies manage costs without losing the productivity. Cisco Unified Communications is an open architecture so it integrates with other industry-leading applications and a wide variety of endpoints. The open architecture has already allowed hundreds of technology development partners to deliver thousands of integrated applications. Companies using integrated voice and Web conferencing reported a 30 percent reduction in conferencing expenses (by making integrated conferencing capabilities available in-house and on-network) and an average savings of $1,700 per month in travel costs. The UC 500 does triple duty as a router, including NAT, as well as a firewall and a VPN appliance with both SSL and IPSec. It can also be configured as a Wi-Fi AP. Expandability is handled through Cisco's Catalyst Express 520 Series Switch, which adds eight additional 10/100 PoE ports to the network. 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 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 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. The Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) is the architectural framework for the enterprise that guides the development of a more intelligent network that can virtualize applications and infrastructure resources across enterprise locations—resulting in greater applications speed, scale, and cost savings. Cisco Unified Communications will streamline your business processes and boost productivity, reliability, and competitiveness —all while minimizing risk and enhancing your profitability. |
