Introduction

IntroductionThe business need for telephony service is not new, and many would even suggest that using Internet Protocol (IP) telephony instead of Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) has entered mainstream, as well. Positioning a telephony solution that interoperates seamlessly with other communication and collaboration tools can bring great value to an organization.

The increase in workplace mobility and changes in end user devices now requires organizations to extend telephony to where the workforce is located, often extending beyond the walls of the organization’s physical buildings. Additionally, a wave of smart phones, social media, and personal communication applications have been developed and widely adopted by individuals in their personal lives.

With advancements in collaboration applications and adoption of new technology in their personal lives, individuals are not only willing to adopt new collaboration tools in their workplaces, but also starting to expect them. Organizations can now feel comfortable providing communication applications that employees will quickly adopt and that provide maximum value. These new tools will enhance an organization’s overall business process, make its employees more productive, and open the door to new and innovative ways for communicating with business partners and customers.

Technology Use CasesOrganizations are looking to streamline their business processes, optimize employee productivity, and integrate voice services with business processes. The CPA for Midmarket Voice delivers capabilities that enable organizations to immediately realize gains in productivity and add value to their current voice deployments. Additionally, the following technology use cases offer organizations enhanced capabilities for mobile and remote workers while delivering even more value in these areas.

• Support Teleworkers and Branch Offices—Let employees work from multiple locations, whether satellite offices, home offices, or when traveling.

• Consolidate Communications Infrastructure — Bring together voice and data into a single IP network to simplify management and support effective communications.

Information about Cisco Voice Technologies and use cases is available on Cisco.com.

Architectural Overview The CPA for Midmarket Voice provides an end-to-end voice communications deployment for up to 1000 users. This architecture ensures high availability for critical applications and uses products developed and priced for the midmarket.

Introduction

enables an organization to use its current data network to support voice calls. In general, it is a best practice to ensure a voice solution is deployed with proper Quality of Service (QoS) configured throughout the network. Voice IP traffic should be classified and prioritized to preserve the user experience and avoid negative effects, such as delay, loss and jitter. For more information about LAN and WAN QoS, see Cisco Collaboration SRND.

The CPA for Midmarket Voice, shown in Figure 1, provides highly available and secure centralized services. These services extend easily to remote offices and mobile workers, ensuring availability of critical services even if communication to headquarters is lost. Centralizing services also simplifies management and administration of an organization’s voice deployment.

Figure 1 - Cisco Preferred Architecture for Midmarket Voice

Table 1 lists the products in this architecture. For simplicity, products are broken into modules to help categorize and define their roles. The content in this guide is organized in the same modules.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard

Provisions Cisco Unified Communications applications

Cisco Business Edition 6000The Cisco BE 6000 is a purpose built package designed specifically for midmarket organizations with up to 1000 employees, and it is the foundation for this architecture. The Cisco BE 6000 is built on a virtualized Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) that is prepared and ready-for-use with a preinstalled virtualization hypervisor and application installation files. The Cisco BE 6000 solution offers premium voice, video, messaging, instant messaging and presence, and contact center features on a single, integrated platform. For more information about the Cisco BE 6000, see the data sheet.

Core ApplicationsThe CPA for Midmarket Voice is built on two Cisco BE 6000 high-density servers, ensuring high availability for applications within the architecture. Virtualizing multiple applications on a single server lowers cost, minimizes rack space, lowers power requirements, and simplifies deployment and management. Virtualization also accommodates redeploying hardware and scaling software applications as organizational needs change.

Figure 2 - Cisco BE 6000 Applications

In this architecture, the following six applications and Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard are deployed on one Cisco BE 6000 server while a second instance of each of the six applications is deployed

Introduction

on a second Cisco BE 6000 server, providing hardware and software redundancy:

• Cisco Unified Communications Manager

• Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service

• Cisco Unity Connection

• Cisco Expressway, comprised of Expressway Core and Expressway Edge

• Cisco Unified Contact Center Express

Cisco recommends always deploying redundant configurations to provide the highest availability for critical business applications; however, a non-redundant, Cisco BE 6000 server configuration may be deployed for organizations that do not require full redundancy.

Space is available on the Cisco BE 6000 for two additional Cisco UC applications, such as Cisco Emergency responder or Singlewire InformaCast.

Note

High AvailabilityThe CPA for Midmarket Voice design includes high availability for all deployed applications. These services will be preserved if a component fails on the primary Cisco BE 6000 server. High availability is accomplished with the underlying clustering mechanism that is present in all deployed Cisco Unified Communications applications.

Clustering allows the administration and configuration of deployed applications to be replicated to backup instances of those applications. If either instance of an application fails, Cisco Unified Communications services—such as endpoint registration, call processing, messaging, and many others—will continue to operate on the remaining instance of the application. This process is transparent to an organization’s users. In addition to clustering, the CPA for Midmarket Voice design ensures high availability through the use of redundant power supplies, network connectivity, and disk arrays.

Cisco Integrated Services RouterThe Cisco Integrated Services Router (Cisco ISR) provides Wide Area Network (WAN) and Cisco Unified Communications services in a single platform. For this architecture, the Cisco ISR can provide the following functions (Figure 3):

• Audio conference bridge for Cisco Unified CM

• External connectivity to Internet

• IP routing and network services, such as DHCP, DNS, NTP and others

• Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) to provide calls during WAN failures

• Voice gateway to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks

• Integrated data and voice connectivity to service providers

• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) WAN connectivity for an organization’s network

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) client to establish secure tunnels to VPN concentrator

Introduction

Figure 3 - Cisco ISR Functions

Cisco ISR routers have additional slots that support add-on modules, such as wireless controllers and VMware ESXi servers. Various Cisco ISR router models can be used to support different features, to scale, and to accommodate additional services. This modular design enables the Cisco ISR to be deployed at headquarters, remote locations, or branch locations. For more information about Cisco ISR, see the data sheet.

Endpoints

page 7

Endpoints

EndpointsCisco provides endpoints with a wide range of features, functionality, and user experiences. Because endpoints range from low-cost, single-line phones and softclients to high-end, multiline phones with color displays, an organization can deploy the right variety of endpoints to meet users’ needs (Figure 4). Additionally, these devices enable users to access multiple communication services, such as:

• Voice calls

• Conferencing

• Voicemail

• Presence

• Instant messages (Cisco Jabber)

Figure 4 - Architecture for Endpoints

Recommended DeploymentBecause Cisco Unified CM is the call control server for this deployment, SIP should be used to register Cisco IP phones directly to the Cisco Unified CM. The Cisco Unified CM cluster’s failover mechanism provides endpoint registration redundancy. If a WAN failure occurs and endpoints at remote locations cannot register to Cisco Unified CM, they will use SRST functionality for local and PSTN calls, though some services, such as voicemail and presence, might not be available.

The following endpoints are recommended because they provide the optimal features for this design at a mid-market price point. Cisco has a range of endpoints with various features and functionality that an organization can also use to address its business needs.

Call ControlCall control is the core element for any communication deployment. Call control is comprised of endpoint registration, call processing, organizational dial plan, address scheme normalization, and call admission control.

Cisco Unified CM provides a common call control for all Cisco communication deployments (Figure 5). Having a highly available and common call control component for a communications infrastructure is crucial to provide consistent services for all devices and communication types and to preserve a uniform dial plan and features among different devices.

Adding the IM and Presence Service to a Cisco Unified CM deployment provides instant messaging, network-based presence, and federation for third-party chat servers and enables the use of Cisco Jabber for instant messaging, presence, and audio communications.

Recommended Deployment• Deploy two Cisco Unified CM servers in a cluster configuration that includes a Publisher node and a

Subscriber node for redundancy

• Deploy two IM and Presence Service servers in a cluster configuration that includes a Publisher node and a Subscriber node for redundancy

• Enable Cisco SRST on the Cisco ISR as a backup service at remote sites to ensure high availability

If full redundancy is not required, a single server may be deployed without loss of functionality.

Note

BenefitsThis deployment provides the following benefits:

• There is centralized call control at a single location that serves multiple locations.

• Management is centralized.

• Common telephony features are available across voice endpoints and Cisco Jabber clients.

• Single call control and a unified dialing plan exist for voice endpoints and Cisco Jabber clients.

• Critical business applications are highly available and redundant.

Deployment Best PracticesCisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service

Publisher-Subscriber Deployment ModelA Cisco Unified CM or an IM and Presence Service cluster is comprised of one Publisher node and one Subscriber node.

• The Publisher node is the server that is installed first. This server contains the cluster’s configuration database. Cluster-wide configuration is written to the Publisher’s database and replicated on the Subscriber.

• The Subscriber node is the server that is installed second. It contains a replica of the Publisher’s database. The Subscriber is updated automatically when the Publisher’s configuration changes.

Clustering provides an automatic redundancy mechanism for endpoints and for Cisco Unified CM services, such as the ability to receive and process incoming calls (Figure 6). It is recommended that the Cisco Unified CM cluster be configured with the Subscriber node as the primary call-processing server and the Publisher node as the backup call-processing server. This configuration applies to the IM and Presence Service cluster, too. If the IM and Presence Service Subscriber node goes down, then IM and presence capabilities will still be available for Cisco Jabber clients.

Figure 6 - Cisco Unified CM Cluster

SIP Trunking RecommendationsA trunk is a collection of communication channels between two different call-processing servers or gateways that is used for server-side communication. Cisco Unified CM uses SIP trunks to communicate with external entities.

For deployment consistency, use SIP trunks from Cisco Unified CM to communicate with all the components in this architecture. For the Cisco Unified CM cluster, configure a SIP trunk from the Cisco Unified CM cluster to external components in the deployment, such as voice gateways and IM and Presence Service. Ensure that each server for that external component is specified as a destination in the SIP trunk configuration. This configuration ensures that no service disruption occurs if a node goes down.

Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site TelephonyThe Cisco SRST feature ensures business continuity and is critical for branch sites that require uninterrupted voice services during WAN outages. SRST runs on the same Cisco ISR that provides WAN and PSTN connectivity for a remote site (Figure 7).

Figure 7 - Cisco SRST

Call C

ontrol

Deploying SRST on the Cisco ISR is recommended in the following cases:

• The site has local PSTN connectivity.

• The site does not have local PSTN connectivity but has more than 25 users.

Local PSTN connectivity should be available to ensure there is no interruption to external voice services if a WAN outage occurs.

If a WAN failure occurs at a site with SRST and local PSTN access, the following services will be available:

• Internal point-to-point voice calls

• External voice calls via PSTN

• Call hold, transfer, and conference

• Music on hold

Dial PlanA structured, well-designed dial plan is the key to successfully deploying any call control system. Cisco Unified CM uses the dial plan to process calls from all endpoints and gateways. Two main components of the dial plan are:

• Endpoint addressing

• Call routing

Endpoint AddressingIn traditional PBX voice only deployments, all endpoints are addressed with a numeric ID, known as a telephone internal number. However, as new endpoint types and connectivity options have emerged, so did additional addressing schemes. Common addressing schemes are:

• +E.164—A numeric public telecommunications infrastructure-numbering plan used by telecommunications carriers worldwide in PSTN, such as +19195556666.

• Abbreviated dialing —An abbreviated dial plan is essentially a subset of the full +E.164 address that simplifies dialing inside an organization. For example, the abbreviated dial string of 1234 can be configured for a device with an +E.164 address of +14085551234.

The use of +E.164 dial plan is recommended, as follows:

• Use +E.164 numeric addressing for dialing inside the organization.

• Use abbreviated dialing aliases to simplify on-net dialing from internal locations.

Call RoutingNumeric Call Routing

The +E.164 format for numeric addresses is recommended because it:

• Is globally unique and widely used in voice networks

• Is widely deployed in corporate Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories and results in better system integrations

• Is commonly shared between multiple devices like mobile phones

• Simplifies the alternate-path routing Cisco Unified CM uses to reach an external device through PSTN or on another network

For these reasons, associating endpoints with a globalized +E.164 number (+14085551234) is recommended rather than with a number that is valid only inside the organization (1234).

Call C

ontrol

page 13

Call C

ontrol

To simplify dialing, use abbreviated dialing with the full +E.164 numbering plan. Doing so enables users to dial either the full +E.164 number from external locations or the abbreviated number from inside the organization. For example, a user can dial +14085551212 from internal or external locations and dial 1212 from an internal location to reach the same person.

Figure 8 provides an example for the endpoint addressing recommendations.

Figure 8 - Numeric and Alphanumeric Endpoint Addressing Example

Type Number Reachable From...

+E.164 address (directory number) +14085551234 Internal locations and external PSTN locations

Abbreviated dialing 1234 Internal locations by abbreviated dialing number

Directory Integration

To enable users to search contacts and dial from the directory, integrate Cisco Unified CM with the organization’s LDAP directory. Though Cisco Unified CM allows the creation of local user contacts, LDAP directory integration is required when using Cisco Jabber because it allows a single location for directory management. Additionally, LDAP directory integration enables users to authenticate to Cisco Unified CM and Cisco Jabber by using their LDAP directory credentials.

Cisco Unified CM pulls user and contact information from LDAP directories and synchronizes user parameters—name, surname, username, telephone number and SIP URI—when changes occur. Use the telephoneNumber and mail attributes to populate the Cisco Unified CM directory. The IM and Presence Service pulls user and contact information from Cisco Unified CM.

Class of ServiceClass of service is used to differentiate access services for an organization’s users, such as to allow only emergency and local calling from lobby phones while allowing unrestricted calls from executive phones.

Partitions and calling search spaces can be configured in Cisco Unified CM to provide class of service, and the class of service categories in Table 3 are recommended to provide PSTN access for emergency, local,

Conferencing

page 15

Conferencing

ConferencingThe ability for three or more people to communicate in real time is a core component of voice deployments. Conferencing builds upon existing infrastructure in place for point-to-point calls, offering an organization’s users a consistent experience regardless of how many participants are involved (Figure 9).

Figure 9 - Architecture for Conferencing

Table 4 lists the roles of the components in this architecture and the services that they provide.

Table 4 - Components for Conferencing

Module Component Description

Call Control Cisco Unified CM Manages and allocates audio conferencing resources from Cisco ISR packet voice/data modules (PVDMs)

Conferencing Cisco ISR  Provides voice conferencing resources

There are three types of conferences:

• Ad-hoc/Instant: A conference that is not scheduled or organized in advance. For example, a call between two parties who add additional parties to the call is an ad-hoc conference.

• Rendezvous: A conference that requires callers to dial a predetermined number or URI to reach a shared conferencing resource. Meet-me, static, or permanent are other names for this type of conference.

• Scheduled: A conference that guarantees conferencing resources will be available for callers at a predetermined start time.

The components required for scheduled conferences are not part of this architecture. However, Cisco WebEx Cloud’s hosted services can be used for scheduled audio conferencing. See the data sheets for more information.

Note

Recommended DeploymentAudio Conferencing

Deploy packet voice digital signal processor module (PVDM) resources on Cisco ISR routers for ad-hoc conferences and for rendezvous conferences.

BenefitsThis deployment provides the following benefits:

• There is a consistent user experience for launching and joining conferences.

• Dedicated resources (PVDMs) enable greater scale and redundancy.

Deployment Best PracticesAudio Conferencing

For ad-hoc and rendezvous audio conferences, use dedicated packet voice digital signal processor module (PVDM) resources as the audio conference bridges. A Cisco ISR with PVDM is recommended. The Cisco ISR requires a PVDM to support audio conferences, voice interfaces (T1, E1, FXO, FXS), and audio transcoding.

Using Cisco ISRs for a variety of functions, such as voice gateway, SRST, conferencing, and WAN connectivity, and combining these voice services into a single platform offers a significant cost savings over individual components. For additional deployment flexibility, PVDM modules are available in different densities and support a range of codecs of different complexities.

Sizing ConsiderationsThe decision to integrate conferencing resources into an existing router depends on the voice capacity and overall performance of that router. A standalone gateway is recommended if an organization’s existing router:

• Consistently runs above 40% CPU—A standalone gateway avoids voice traffic processing delays.

• Has limited slots available for voice interface cards or digital signal processors—A standalone gateway ensures that additional capacity is available when needed.

Table 5 lists the recommended Cisco ISR platforms and number of audio conference ports to support ad-hoc and rendezvous audio conferences. Use this information as the starting point for deployment planning.

ArchitectureRendezvous audio conferences rely on Cisco Unified CM’s Meet-me feature. This feature requires a set of directory numbers (DNs) to be allocated exclusively for rendezvous audio conferences. Users invoke the feature by pressing the Meet-Me softkey on their audio endpoints and then dialing DNs within the predetermined range. Subsequent attendees dial the predetermined number directly to join the conference. The existing dial plan is used for controlling access to these DNs. Rendezvous audio conferences are hosted on the same Cisco ISR PVDM resources as ad-hoc audio conferences.

Ad-hoc audio conference resources register with Cisco Unified CM and are controlled by Media Resource Group Lists (MRGLs) and Media Resource Groups (MRGs). Endpoints will invoke these ad-hoc resources if their assigned device pool has access to the appropriate MRGL. Configuring MRGLs is recommended, so conference resources that are local to the initiating endpoint are preferred over other resources (Figure 10).

Figure 10 - MRGL Example

Collaboration Edge

Collaboration EdgeIn addition to connectivity to the public telephone system, organizations are looking for ways to enable mobile and remote workers. Providing secure connectivity for mobile and remote workers enables employees to be more productive away from the office. The CPA for Midmarket Voice addresses these needs with the Collaboration Edge architecture in Figure 11.

Figure 11 - Architecture for Collaboration Edge

Table 8 lists the roles of the components in this architecture and the services that they provide.

Table 6 - Components for Collaboration Edge

Module Component Description

Collaboration Edge Expressway Edge Allows secure mobile client registration and calling through an organization

Expressway Core Establishes a secure connection to the Expressway Edge through the firewall and enables mobile and remote access with Cisco Unified CM

Recommended DeploymentHeadquarters

• Deploy Cisco ISR as the PSTN gateway.

OR

Enable CUBE functionality on the Cisco ISR for voice connectivity from the organization’s network to the service provider network through a SIP trunk.

• Deploy two Cisco Expressway Core and Edge servers in a clustered configuration to enable remote Cisco Jabber registrations, and IM and presence.

If full redundancy is not required, a single server may be deployed without loss of functionality.

Note

Remote SitesDeploy Cisco ISR as the PSTN gateway.

Teleworker Sites Deploy Cisco 8900 and 9900 Series IP Phones with an existing Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) or Cisco IOS-based VPN.

BenefitsThis deployment provides the following benefits:

• The Cisco ISR supports standards-based interfaces and different PSTN types, so it can be deployed globally.

• CUBE functionality can be enabled on the Cisco ISR if a SIP trunk is used rather than traditional PSTN interfaces.

• The Cisco ISR can be used for WAN connectivity.

• Cisco Expressway provides calling, presence, instant messaging, voicemail, and corporate directory services for Cisco Jabber.

Deployment Best PracticesPSTN Gateway

Because landlines and mobile phones use the PSTN for local and international calls, external connectivity to the PSTN from an organization’s IP telephony network is a requirement (Figure 12).

Collaboration Edge

Figure 12 - PSTN Connectivity

Use Cisco ISR with a time-division multiplex (TDM) module as the PSTN gateway at headquarters. This configuration enables the gateway to resolve incoming and outgoing calls for an organization to and from the PSTN. Use this gateway for number transformation to PSTN requirements. See “Call Control” on page 9 for dial plan recommendations.

At remote sites, deploy a Cisco ISR for local PSTN connectivity using voice modules. Table 7 lists the recommended Cisco ISR series by deployment location. For information about Cisco ISR, see the data sheet.

Table 7 - Recommended PSTN Gateways

Location PSTN Gateway

Headquarters ISR G2 3900 series

Remote Sites ISR G2 2900 series

If SIP trunks are used to connect to a service provider for voice calls, enable CUBE functionality on the Cisco ISR that is deployed at headquarters. When deploying Cisco ISR with CUBE functionality, the following is recommended:

• Deploy the CUBE in the demilitarized zone (DMZ).

• Enable the firewall to NAT the external address to the address of the CUBE.

• Enable the firewall to inspect voice calls.

The Cisco Unified CM will route calls through SIP trunks to gateways, CUBE, or Cisco Expressways based on the dial plan. For dial plan recommendations, see “Dial Plan” on page 12.

Virtual Private NetworkVPN enables an organization’s network to be extended to remote and teleworker sites, allowing those sites full access to corporate services. Use the organization’s existing VPN to extend collaboration services to teleworkers or use Cisco IP phones with VPN clients. The Cisco 8900 and the 9900 Series IP Phones have a built-in VPN client that can connect to the Cisco ASA or Cisco ISR over the Internet and establish a secure connection to access the organization’s network. No additional device, such as a CVO router, is needed for this connectivity, and these Cisco IP phones are recommended for teleworkers’ sites.

Cisco ExpresswayFirewalls are deployed to provide network security to separate an organization’s network and mask IP addresses from untrusted networks, such as the Internet. Cisco Expressway provides secure firewall and NAT traversal for mobile Cisco Jabber clients. Cisco Expressway consists of two servers: Expressway Core and Expressway Edge.

Cisco Expressway Core should be deployed inside the network, and Expressway Edge should be deployed in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) by connecting separate network ports on the BE6000 server to the

Collaboration Edge

organization’s network and to the DMZ. For added security, deploy Expressway Edge in the DMZ on a dedicated server.

Figure 13 - Traversal for Registrations Through Firewall with Expressway Core and Expressway Edge

Cisco Expressway CorePlace Expressway Core in the trusted network inside the organization. Expressway Core will:

• Function as a traversal client and establish a secure connection to Expressway Edge through the firewall

• Enable mobile and remote access capabilities and call signaling for Cisco Jabber clients, directing them to Cisco Unified CM for SIP registration or the IM and Presence Service

Cisco Expressway EdgePlace Expressway Edge in a DMZ because it is reachable directly from the untrusted, external network. Note that the organization’s firewall policies control the communication to and from this server. Expressway Edge will:

• Function as a traversal server and allow secure communication from Expressway Core

• Process registration and IM information from Cisco endpoints on the external network and use traversal-secure communication to pass the information to Expressway Core

LicensingCisco Expressway can be used for mobile and remote access with no additional investment.

Applications

ApplicationsIn addition to the call- and media-processing components, CPA for Midmarket Voice includes the following Cisco applications (Figure 14) to enhance usability, functionality, and management:

• Unity Connection to provide messaging (voicemail)

• Unified CCX to provide sophistication to customer care for the organization in an easy-to-deploy fashion

• Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard for user and device provisioning

Applications

Cisco Unity ConnectionUnity Connection enables an organization’s employees to access and manage voice messages in a variety of ways, including via email inbox, web browser, Cisco Jabber, Cisco Unified IP Phone, TelePresence, smartphone, tablet, and more.

Recommended DeploymentDeploy two Cisco Unity Connection servers in a cluster configuration that includes a Publisher node and a Subscriber node for redundancy (Figure 15).

If full redundancy is not required, a single server may be deployed without loss of functionality.

Note

BenefitsThis deployment provides the following benefits:

• Easy access to messages enables fast response to time-sensitive communications.

• Secure messaging ensures critical business data is protected.

• Business applications are highly available and redundant.

Deployment Best PracticesThe Unity Connection Automated Attendant feature provides a more interactive caller experience by directing calls without an operator and enabling messaging related to business hours or emergencies for example. Unity Connection provides templates to simplify the creation of automated attendants and holds the recordings for this feature. As such, a menu of the required recordings should be constructed and appropriate recordings made for each step of the call-management process.

Figure 15 - Cisco Unity Cluster

As a best practice, the majority of client traffic, such as IMAP and backup operations, should be directed to the Publisher node while the majority of call traffic should be directed to the Subscriber node in the Unity Connection cluster.

Applications

page 24

Applications

As with other components in this architecture, integration with the organization’s LDAP is highly recommended. This connection not only streamlines the initial deployment, but also allows end-user access to messaging functions using common credentials.

Integration of Unity Connection with the organization’s email system enhances the functions of the application. For example, Microsoft’s on premise Exchange or its hosted Office 365 offerings provide enhanced handling of voicemail while IBM Lotus Notes and Google’s hosted email offerings provide basic message delivery handling. This functionality notifies users of voicemails that they have received and provides links to play the messages, enhancing users’ ability to respond quickly even when away from physical phones.

Cisco Unified Contact Center ExpressUnified CCX enables organizations to provide powerful, agent-based services to internal and external customers. These services enable customers to connect easily with the right employees in an organization for sales inquiries or product support.

Recommended DeploymentDeploy two Unified CCX servers in a cluster configuration that includes a Publisher node and a Subscriber node for redundancy (Figure 16).

If full redundancy is not required, a single server may be deployed without loss of functionality.

Note

Figure 16 - Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Cluster

BenefitsThis deployment provides the following benefits:

• Recorded greetings and customized prompts provide sophisticated call handling.

• External customer interaction is supported.

• Internal company communication for activities, such as help desk, is facilitated.

Applications

page 25

Applications

Deployment Best PracticesAs with the other components in this architecture, Unified CCX should be deployed in a cluster configuration that includes a Publisher node and a Subscriber node. The cluster will be synchronized with the organization’s LDAP and populated with end-user information. This minimal configuration enables external callers to dial a single number into the organization and then use a simple dial-by-name or dial-by-extension functionality without the need for telephone operators to connect external calls. Depending on the organization’s structure and business model, the following additional workflow configurations should be considered:

• Sales

• Customer Support

• Internal IT helpdesk

• Human Resources

These automated, call-directed workflows provide value to the organization by quickly and easily connecting a person with a need to the appropriate resource within the organization for assistance.

For information about Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, see the data sheet.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard provides a centralized provisioning interface that simplifies administration of day-to-day activities, such as moves, adds, changes, and deletions (MACD) of user devices and services in an organization (Figure 17).

Figure 17 - Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard

Recommended DeploymentDeploy Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning Standard on the primary BE6000 server. A single instance of Cisco Prime is supported per organization.
