[cisco-voip] OT: Cisco Telepresence vs. independant setups

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

thanks. yes, the vcs-e does look like it can do some fancy stuff. i _do_ like the ability to segment things, especially on the voice side. 

going to look into that a little more. adding that small component might benefit us greatly.

The vcs-e can be a challenge if you have quirks in your environment or one-offs. 


We only experimented with h323 though so SIP might be easier. 


My thoughts are thst integrating the environment makes for a consistent user experience. You can register any GK compatible h323 endpoint with the vcs-e so you can migrate slowly if needed.

I'm trying to get my head around the benefits of deploying a Cisco telepresence solution (TMS, VCS, C60, Movi, etc) vs simply buying one off Polycom units that dial each other and bridges when necessary. I understand the centralized address book, but what else? It seems like I'm building a contained solution that needs additional equipment and licenses in order to talk to these other devices, i.e. VCS Expressway. 

Anything stand out for people who have investigated this route?
