General Description

The Cisco TelePresence Content Server (Content Server) is a network telepresence media recording, archiving, streaming, and sharing solution.

With the Content Server, those in your organization can get their message across regardless of the day, time, devices, or location. Whether delivering a CEO briefing to an entire organization, facilitating corporate training programs, or offering a distance education course, video recordings are a powerful organizational tool. Cisco TelePresence Content Server maximizes the impact, reach, and value of these messages by capturing presentations, streaming them live, and recording them for future distribution.

No longer is your message bound by place and time. Recording and streaming telepresence-generated content enables organizations to communicate to dispersed individuals and scale knowledge—anytime, anywhere. Content can integrate easily into familiar third-party tools, extending the reach and chances that your message will be seen and heard. With the Content Server, existing video conferencing investments are fully leveraged, and your messages are viewed by more people more often.

New in Cisco TelePresence Content Server Release 6.0

This release introduces the third-generation Content Server hardware that runs Cisco Content Server Release 6.0 software. The third-generation server is based on the Cisco UCS C220 M3 server.

The Cisco Content Server Release 6.0 software has upgraded from Microsoft Windows Server 2003 to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 for Embedded Systems Standard. Windows Server 2008 is based on Windows NT 6.x and offers improvements in image-based installation, deployment and recovery, diagnostics, monitoring, event logging and reporting, security features, and memory and file systems.

Beginning with Cisco Content Server Release 6.0, all Windows Server 2008 administration and configuration is accomplished by using Windows Remote Desktop Connection to access the server administration interface.

There are no new features in Cisco Content Server Release 6.0 software. The new and changed Windows Server 2008 configuration information is covered in these chapters:

•Chapter 1 "The Management Tab"

•Chapter 7 "Maintaining the Content Server"

•Chapter  "Supported Platforms, Browsers, and Plug-ins"

•Chapter 11 "Creating and Managing a Content Server Cluster"

•Chapter  "Port Information"
