Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) provide the foundation for systems design based on common use cases

or current engineering system priorities. They incorporate a broad set of technologies, features, and

applications to address customer needs. Cisco engineers have comprehensively tested and documented

each CVD in order to ensure faster, more reliable, and fully predictable deployment.

Documentation for Cisco Validated Designs

Cisco Preferred Architecture (PA) Design Overview guides help customers and sales teams select the

appropriate architecture based on an organization's business requirements; understand the products that

are used within the architecture; and obtain general design best practices. These guides support sales

processes.

Cisco Validated Design (CVD) guides provide detailed steps for deploying the Cisco Preferred

Architectures. These guides support planning, design, and implementation of the Preferred Architectures.

Cisco Collaboration Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) guide provides detailed design options for

Cisco Collaboration. The SRND should be referenced when design requirements are outside the scope of

Cisco Preferred Architectures.

Many CVD guides tell you how to use a command-line interface (CLI) to configure network devices. This

section describes the conventions used to specify commands that you must enter.

Commands to enter at a CLI appear as follows:

configure terminal

Commands that specify a value for a variable appear as follows:

ntp server 10.10.48.17

Commands with variables that you must define appear as follows:

class-map [highest class name]

Commands at a CLI or script prompt appear as follows:

Router# enable

Long commands that line wrap are underlined. Enter them as one command:

police rate 10000 pps burst 10000 packets conform-action set-discard-class-

transmit 48 exceed-action transmit

The CVD Navigator helps you determine the applicability of this guide by summarizing its key elements: the

use cases, the scope or breadth of the technology covered, the proficiency or experience recommended,

and CVDs related to this guide. This section is a quick

reference only. For more details, see the Introduction.

This Cisco validated design guide should be started after

deploying the Unified communications using cisco

BE6000 cisco validated design guide.

This guide addresses the following technology use

cases:



—Organizations want

to reap the budgetary and productivity gains that a

remote workforce allows, without compromising

the benefits of face-to-face interaction. They need

a solution that is fast to deploy and easy to manage

from a central location, without replicating costly

components at their remote sites.

For more information, see the “Use Cases” section in

this guide.

This guide covers the following areas of technology and products:

Video call agent

Desktop video endpoints

Multipurpose room systems

Video Conference Bridge

Video Conference Management Systems

Video Conference Scheduling Systems

Video Recording Systems

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling

For more information, see the “Design Overview” section in this guide.

supporting telephony and video applications, and troubleshooting.

Introduction

PAGE 7

Businesses around the world are struggling with escalating travel costs. Growing corporate expense

accounts reflect the high price of travel, but travel also takes a toll on the health and well being of

employees and their families. Often, the only way to solve a difficult problem is to fly an expert to the

location to see the issue and discuss it with the people at the site. When an expert cannot see what is

being described, the resolution of a complex problem often takes much longer.

Workers at remote sites often feel isolated from their departments because they do not spend enough

face time with their peers and they feel disconnected from the decision-making process. This isolation can

lead to lower job performance and less job satisfaction from employees who do not work at the

organization’s main location.

Hiring process can be very lengthy and costly, especially when candidates are located in other cities or

when multiple people are involved in the interview process. Organizations with video conferencing systems

in their offices can reduce expenses and time by bringing candidates into the nearest facility and allowing

interviews to be conducted both in person and over video.

The face-to-face interaction during video collaboration meetings helps to boost information retention,

promotes increased attention span, and reduces participant confusion. The nonverbal cues experienced in

a visual meeting are sometimes more important than what is actually spoken.

Use Case: Video Collaboration with Desktop and Multipurpose Room

Systems

Organizations want to reap the budgetary and productivity gains that a remote workforce allows—without

compromising the benefits of face-to-face interaction. They want to allow the flexibility for an employee to

work across remote sites while still maintaining the familiar in-person contact of their peers and managers.

They also want to enrich the collaboration experience in their meeting rooms, boardrooms, auditoriums

and other shared environments. A solution is needed that is fast to deploy and easy to manage from a

central location without replicating costly components at their remote sites.

This design guide enables the following capabilities:

Single cluster centralized design to simplify deployment and management while saving on

infrastructure components.

URI and numeric dialing to allow video-enabled IP phones to call room systems.

Provisioning the videoconference bridge for the site.

Conference resource optimization, management and scheduling.

Instant, Personal and Scheduled Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR) Conferences.

Captures video and presentations for live streaming and video-on-demand (VoD) viewing.

An end-to-end video-collaboration solution incorporates a full suite of endpoints, infrastructure

components, and centralized management tools.

Cisco Preferred Architecture

Cisco Preferred Architectures provide recommended deployment models for specific market segments

based on common use cases. They incorporate a subset of products from the Cisco Collaboration portfolio

that is best suited for the targeted market segment and defined use cases. These deployment models are

prescriptive, out-of-the-box, and built to scale with an organization as its business needs change.This

prescriptive approach simplifies the integration of multiple system-level components and enables an

organization to select the deployment model that best addresses its business needs.

The Cisco Preferred Architecture (PA) delivers capabilities that enable organizations to realize immediate

gains in productivity and add value to their current voice deployments.

Network Considerations

If you already have an IP network in place for voice, your natural next step is to deploy video over IP. Many

organizations run video systems in a mixed environment as they move from older systems to newer ones,

based on IP. As older systems migrate off of ISDN, significant quality improvements and cost savings will

be seen.

Unified communications running over IP offers lower costs, easier management, remote monitoring, and

control from across the network. It also provides higher bandwidth for calls, enabling superior audio and

video quality while providing tighter integration into the corporate IT mainstream.

With an IP network, the ongoing costs of running video calls are minimal because you only have to pay for

maintenance and technical support. When return on investment (ROI) for the initial deployment is met, any

additional costs are essentially free. Because there is no incremental cost involved, employees and

managers are more likely to use the technology. As usage goes up, payback times go down, further

boosting the ROI.

Solution Details

The Video Conferencing CVD includes the following components:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), for call control and SIP endpoint registrations

Desktop (Cisco 8800 series IP phones, Cisco Jabber and Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience DX

series) and multipurpose (Cisco TelePresence SX 10 and 20 Quick Set) systems for placing and

receiving calls

Cisco TelePresence Server on Virtual Machine, Cisco TelePresence Conductor, Cisco TelePresence

Management Suite (TMS) and Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning Extension

(TMSPE) for reservation-less, instant CMR conference (formerly ad-hoc conference), personal CMR

conference (formerly rendezvous/static conference) and scheduled CMR conference

Cisco TelePresence Content server for video and conference recording

Network Time Protocol (NTP) server for logging consistency
