Smart Business Configurator

for Collaboration

The Cisco® Smart Business Architecture (SBA) is a comprehensive design for networks with up to 10,000 connected users. This out-of-the-box design is simple, fast, affordable, scalable, and flexible. There are five collaboration design models based on your scaling needs: less than 500 users, 1000 users, 2500 users, 5000 users and up to 10,000 users.

The SBA design incorporates LAN, WAN, wireless, security, WAN optimization, data center and unified communication technologies tested together as a solution. This solution-level approach simplifies the system integration normally associated with multiple technologies, allowing you to select the modules that solve your organization’s problems rather than worrying about the technical details.

The Cisco Smart Business Architecture can be broken down into the following three primary, modular yet interdependent components for the midsize organization:

• Network Foundation: A network that supports the architecture

• Network Services: Features that operate in the background to improve and enable the user experience without direct user awareness

• User Services: Applications which include voice, video and web meetings

The Smart Business Configurator for Collaboration (SBCC) is a tool that is used in a procedural method for installing, configuring, and deploying UC for basic telephony and voice messaging. This turnkey solution is constructed to be easy and fast, while providing a solid foundation for further configuration and deployment of advanced UC features without the need to redesign or reengineer when a new option or service is added. The tool is a repeatable process which creates the same configuration, avoiding time consuming and costly mistakes.

The UC deployment consists of a headquarters and up to five hundred remote sites. The Unified Communications Manager and the Cisco Unity Connection appliances are placed at the main site to handle the call processing for up to 10,000 telephony users with voice messaging. Each remote site takes advantage of the Integrated Service Router Generation 2 router that was deployed as part of the WAN module, and is configured for Survivable Remote Site Telephony in the event of service interruptions. The design model also supports standalone and dual SIP gateways, if needed.

Cisco SBA is a prescriptive architecture that delivers an easy-to-use, flexible and scalable network with wired, wireless, security, WAN optimization, data center and unified communication components. It eliminates the challenges of integrating the various network components by using standardized design models that are reliable with comprehensive support offerings.
