Access and manage voice messages from your email inbox, web browser, Cisco Jabber®, Cisco Webex® app, Cisco® IP phone, smartphone, or tablet with Cisco Unity® Connection. Easily prioritize messages and respond quickly to colleagues, partners, and customers. If you are on the go or simply prefer to do so, you can use the speech-activated tools for hands-free message retrieval.
For IT, Cisco Unity Connection is an “integrated by design” extension of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It is easy to manage with Cisco Prime® Collaboration, our single application for unified management of the entire voice and video deployment. Cisco Prime Collaboration simplifies deployment, provisioning, monitoring, and system management.
Cisco Unity Connection is robust and secure, and is designed for complex, distributed global deployments with support for high availability, redundancy, and branch-office survivability. It is fully virtualized and runs on the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) or on hardware that meets minimum specifications, such as servers and blades manufactured by IBM and HP.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the industry leader in enterprise call and session management platforms, with more than 300,000 customers worldwide, more than 120 million Cisco IP phones and soft clients deployed. Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the core of Cisco’s collaboration portfolio.
