Cisco delivers Hosted Collaboration Solution

At the CiscoLive! networking event in Las Vegas,Cisco announced the availability of the Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution,an offering that allows partners to provide a wide range of Cisco collaboration applications to their customers,via the cloud,using an “as a service” model.

The Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution,which builds on existing hosted Cisco Unified Communications offerings,provides customers with unprecedented flexibility in choosing how they deploy collaboration applications throughout their organizations. The hosted option helps customers rapidly deploy collaboration technologies while potentially lowering upfront capital and ongoing operating expenses.

The Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution gives partners,including service providers and integrators,the ability to deploy multiple collaboration applications on one server in a virtualized environment and then host those applications for multiple client organizations.

The solution is designed to be run from partner data centers. The solution is optimized for delivery by the Cisco Unified Computing System,part of the Cisco Unified Service Delivery solution. Cisco Unified Service Delivery combines the power of the datacenter with the power of the network to transform service delivery and build the foundation for cloud services.
