思科Unity家族概述

思科统一是统一通信架构的一个功能丰富的语音解决方案。除了语音邮件，在Cisco Unity系列产品提供依据统一的产品做自动话务员，集成消息，或统一消息（UM）的能力。思科统一产品系列有三种不同的外形可供选择：统一快递，统一连接，或思科统一。这个博客将介绍一些的三种不同的产品的不同之处。统一快递报价仅语音信箱，个人办公室，而统一的连接提供语音邮件和综合消息对于小型到大型企业。思科统一提供语音留言，集成消息和统一消息的大中型企业。此博客系列将集中在思科统一和团结的连接平台，而在时间提的Cisco Unity快递。思科统一连接和Cisco Unity允许电子邮件客户端访问语音邮件作为使用IMAP连接上的Cisco Unity（综合消息）运行的Exchange服务器.wav文件附件。思科统一在历史上提供了更紧密的电子邮件集成与展望（VMO）或查看邮件视图邮件笔记（VMN）客户端应用程序，但这些应用程序也可与7.0版本的Cisco Unity连接。的Cisco Unity和Cisco Unity连接是可以相同的媒体融合服务器（MCS），思科的售价为思科统一通信管理器上安装应用程序服务器。 The application relies on an information store (IS) database to maintain all configuration data related to the subscribers (users), call handlers (automated attendant), and other system attributes. The voicemail messages are stored in the message store (MS) database. The Cisco Unity Connections product uses the same appliance server model as CUCM (Linux and IBM Informix Database server [IDS]). The information and message stores of Cisco Unity Connections are both stored on the same IDS database. Cisco Unity Express (CUE) uses a proprietary Cisco database on the hard drive of a CUE network module for both the information and message store. Cisco Unity uses a Microsoft SQL server or Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE) database as the information store and a Microsoft Exchange or IBM Domino server as the message store. MSDE can be used for systems with less than 32 users. The message store for Unity can be on the same Windows 2003 server as Unity (onbox) or a separate server (offbox). Cisco Unity is built to leverage unified messaging and the existing E-Mail based messaging infrastructure. The Cisco Unity 5.0 message store can be Microsoft Exchange 2000, 2003, or 2007. Read the Unity 5 release notes related to using Microsoft Exchange 2007 as a mailbox store. There are some serious limitations with Unity 5.0 and Exchange 2007. The Exchange 2007 support in Unity 7.0 is better than Unity 5.0. All Cisco Unity platforms use the concept of ports to accept calls to or from the Cisco Unity system. A port in Cisco Unity is not a physical analog voice port or a logical B channel in a PRI, but an logical IP session. The number of ports used in the system is licensed by the user, but the maximum number of ports available to the system is based on the Unity product, version, and hardware platform on which it is installed. Cisco Unity 7.0 supports up to 200 ports per server, while Cisco Unity Connection supports 144 ports, and Unity Express supports up to 24 ports. Cisco Unity 7.0 and Unity Connection 7.0 scale up to 10,000 voicemail users per server. We’ll continue the Cisco Unity Conversation in the next blog.
