Bring your extended or growing workforce together with a full array of integrated collaboration applications that come preloaded on a single modular platform. Built on the virtualized Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) platform, the Cisco® Business Edition 7000 (BE7000) is equipped with premium Cisco Collaboration applications for voice, video, mobility, messaging, conferencing, instant messaging and presence, and contact center. Turn them on as your collaboration needs increase and easily scale your users and devices by deploying additional BE7000 servers. The modular building block design of BE7000 is ideal for deployments from several hundred users to tens of thousands of users, providing plenty of room for future growth.

Choice, scale, and simple management

Have you reached the point where your voice system is maxed out? Or you need to connect multiple devices per user but you don’t have the capacity? Or your users talk about how hard it is to reach co-workers and work together productively? These conditions suggest you consider a collaboration solution. But perhaps you are unsure if you want to deploy a major new IT installation.

With Cisco BE7000 you can try a group of collaboration technologies with a subset of employees and then scale up quickly. Pay as you grow, rather than making a large initial outlay. Cisco BE7000 is optimized for enterprise-scale organizations with 1,000 to 5,000 users and 3,000 to 15,000 devices, but offers a great fit for smaller deployments where fast growth is expected. And by stacking additional servers, deployments larger than 5,000 users can be supported at any time.

The BE7000 solution is extremely versatile. Each system is preloaded with premium voice, video, mobility, messaging, conferencing, instant messaging and presence, and contact center applications. You can add others as you choose from a broad selection of Cisco DevNet third-party partner applications. Combine the wealth of applications and the building block design, and you have a solution designed to get your users collaborating quickly and easily. And one that’s quick and easy for you to install as well.

And you have a very wide choice of collaboration applications (refer to Figure 1). You can deploy the Cisco BE7000 for your large organization with 1000 to 5000 users or more with expanding collaboration needs. This versatile platform lets you easily add new applications as your needs change. Begin with full voice and IP telephony, and easily “turn on” video capabilities, contact center, support for third-party apps, and much more over time.
