Preface

The Cisco Integrated Communications System (ICS) 7750 (referred to from this point on as the Cisco ICS 7750 or the system) is an integrated communications platform designed to enable easy, rapid deployment and management of key data and converged voice/data applications and services, including IP telephony, content delivery networking, and multiservice routing. The Cisco ICS 7750 gives businesses a cost-effective platform for quick deployment of New World applications such as Cisco CallManager, Cisco Unity, and Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS).

The Cisco ICS 7750 has all the elements needed to deliver data, voice, and video in a single chassis—multiservice router/voice gateway cards based on Cisco IOS software, application server cards running core voice applications, call-processing software, web-based system management software, a data switching interface card for connectivity to Ethernet switches, and a card that monitors system health.

This section discusses the intended audience and organization of this Cisco ICS 7750 System Description and defines the conventions used to convey instructions and information.
