Product Overview
The Cisco Jabber
®
platform streamlines communications and enhances productivity on many platforms and
devices, including PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones. It unifies presence, instant messaging, video, voice, voice
messaging, and conferencing capabilities securely into one client on your desktop.
But what if your organization is implementing virtualization strategies? Now, you can use the Cisco
®
Virtualization
Experience Media Engine (VXME) to deliver the same rich, uncompromised user experience of the Cisco Jabber
application to virtualized desktops in addition to your PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones.
How It Works
In virtualized environments, the Cisco Jabber application is deployed in the hosted virtual desktop in the data
center while Cisco VXME runs on the local thin client. With the Cisco Jabber application running on your hosted
virtual desktop, you can see presence status, send an instant message, check voice messages, or collaborate over
a video call. Cisco VXME processes voice and video traffic locally and routes point-to-point between clients,
bypassing the data center. This feature eliminates the inefficient “hairpin” effect that returns messages from origin
bypassing the data center. This feature eliminates the inefficient “hairpin” effect that returns messages from origin
endpoints back in the direction from which they came as a way to get to their destination. With this optimized
architecture, when in virtualized settings you benefit from the same uncompromised user experience that you enjoy
with the traditional Cisco Jabber for Windows solution.
