[cisco-voip] New System

[Travis L. Dennis]

My 2 cents.  If your company has not signed off on going to Unified
Communications everywhere then I would put a 3945 router running CME and
Unity Express at the pilot location.  Calls can be routed between the Avaya
and Cisco system fairly easily.  This gives you a feel for Cisco UC without
diving in head first.  The advantage of this way is that if you like the
system and decide to move forward with Cisco UC you didn't lose anything
because this router can now be used for SRST once you get the full system.
You also minimize your investment if your company decides not to pursue
Cisco UC.  Make sure your network infrastructure at the remote site is up to
par for putting voice on your network also.

 

Once you get sign off a centralized publisher, subscriber(s) and Unity
Connection would be one way to go with routers running SRST/CME at each
remote location.  Your local Cisco Account Team will be more than happy to
help you with the proper sizing

Hello,

 

I am new to the group.  My company is thinking about changing from an old
Avaya/Nortel PBX (8100) to a new Cisco UCS system.  We want to start out
slow and will not immediately integrate the UCS system into the PBX.  We
want to setup a branch office with the a basic UCS and Unity for voice mail
for approx. 200 users.  Naturally we want to use whatever the latest and
greatest is.

 

My question is what is the latest and greatest and should we have a
publisher and a subscriber?  We also want to use SIP trunks.  Like most US
companies today we don't have unlimited funds be want to be prudent with
what we spend.  

 

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
