Providing reliable communications to branch offices and teleworkers is important to help ensure business continuity and customer satisfaction. Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony and its enhanced version, Cisco Unified Enhanced Survivable Remote Site Telephony, are designed to meet this need.

Both products take advantage of the remote office's existing network to provide multi-feature redundancy for centralized Cisco call-processing deployments during WAN link failures. Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony works in conjunction with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition. The enhanced version works with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony provides:

• Business resiliency through redundant, localized call processing
• Intelligent and automatic failover configuration without manual IT or telecom intervention
• Cost-effective operations through a converged voice and data network
• Centralized IP telephony configuration and management
• Investment protection and ease of migration

The enhanced version provides all the functionality of Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony and also delivers:

• Enhanced user experience in failover mode by maintaining phone displays and providing full call-control features
• Easy-to-use GUI to help you provision, monitor, report, and troubleshoot remote sites
• Automatic synchronization with Cisco Unified Communications Manager for additions, deletions, and modifications of users and phones
• Consistent calling rule restrictions, even in failover mode

Both versions are available on the Cisco 880, 1861, 2800, 2900, 3800, and 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers. For Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony, no additional hardware is required. The enhanced version is enabled through Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony and the Cisco Unified Messaging Gateway.
