Cisco TelePresence® Server brings multiparty video to unified communications deployments. Its flexible video, audio, and content-sharing capabilities allow users to participate in video conferences with multiple parties. Users can easily create, launch, and join meetings using standards-based video endpoints. Or their mobile devices or Cisco WebEx® clients. Or even third-party video endpoints. The server provides high-quality, standards-based video conferencing for mobile, desktop, and room systems. This scalable video conferencing bridge works with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For midmarket and larger enterprise customers, it works with Cisco TelePresence Conductor to offer cost-efficient conferencing. It also works with Cisco TelePresence Management Suite for conference booking, conference scheduling, and resource management.
Cisco TelePresence Server benefits include:
Cisco TelePresence Server is available as a virtualized application compatible with standard Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) servers, or can be deployed on dedicated hardware platforms. Flexible licensing options enable customers to deploy Cisco TelePresence Server capabilities in the way that best suits their needs. Cisco TelePresence Server can be licensed on a per-host basis with Cisco Multiparty licenses. Cisco Multiparty licenses are recommended and are held centrally on Cisco TelePresence Conductor, offering increased efficiency and redundancy.
