Cisco Virtualization Experience Media Edition 
for Windows 11.7 

Extend the rich collaboration experience of Cisco Jabber

®

 for Windows to your 

virtualized environments by enabling intelligent processing of real-time voice and 
video on your local devices. 

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 Edition (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. 

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 

voice and video calls. Cisco VXME processes voice and video traffic locally and routes point-to-point between 

clients, bypassing the data center. This feature elim

inates the inefficient “hairpin” effect that returns messages from 

origin endpoints back in the direction from which they came as a way to get them to their destination. With this 

optimized architecture, users in virtualized settings benefit from the same uncompromised experience that they 

enjoy with the traditional Cisco Jabber for Windows solution.
