Cisco Unified Configurator

for Collaboration

 

The Telephony Using Cisco UCM Deployment Guide supports five collaboration design models based on an organizations scaling needs; less than 500 users, 1000 users, 2500 users, 5000 users and 10,000 users.

Companion CVDs incorporate LAN, WAN, wireless, security, WAN optimization, data center and unified communication technologies that are tested together as a solution. This solution-level approach simplifies the system integration normally associated with multiple technologies, allowing you to select the modules that solve your organization’s problems rather than worrying about the technical details.


The solution can be broken down into the follow­ing three primary, modular yet interdependent components:

Network Foundation: A base network that supports the design

Network Services: Features that operate in the background to improve the user experience

User Services: Applications which include voice, video and web meetings

 

Cisco Unified Configurator for Collaboration (CUCC) is a tool that is used in a procedural method for installing, configuring, and deploying UC for basic telephony and voice messaging. This turnkey solution is constructed to be easy and fast, while providing a solid foundation for further configura­tion and deployment of advanced UC features without the need to redesign or reengineer when a new option or service is added. The tool is a repeatable process which creates the same configuration, avoiding time consuming and costly mistakes.

The UC deployment consists of a headquarters and up to five hundred remote sites. The Unified Communications Manager and the Cisco Unity Connection appliances are placed at the main site to handle the call processing for up to 10,000 telephony users with voice messaging. Each remote site takes advantage of the Integrated Service Router Generation 2 router that was deployed as part of the WAN module, and is configured for Survivable Remote Site Telephony in the event of service interruptions. The design model also supports standalone and dual SIP gateways, if needed.

The companion CVDs help an organization create a prescriptive architecture that delivers an easy-to-use, flexible and scalable network with wired, wireless, security, WAN optimization, data center and unified communication components. They eliminate the challenges of integrating the various network components by using standardized design models that are reliable with comprehensive support offerings.
