The Cisco® Business Edition 3000 is a purpose-built appliance that delivers essential business-class unified communications and collaboration for small and midsize businesses with up to 300 users and 400 devices located at up to 10 sites. Hosted on a compact hardware platform as shown in Figure 1, Cisco Business Edition 3000 integrates the benefits of voice, video, mobility, messaging, applications, and voice gateway services on a single appliance. Consolidating these capabilities on a single appliance creates a cost-effective solution that is both simple to set up and easier to manage; it also lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) and provides a smooth transition from older, outdated telephony systems to a new-age unified communications and collaboration solution.
