The Cisco WebEx Node for MCS is a software component that is deployed on-premises with Cisco Unified 

MeetingPlace 8.0. The WebEx Node for MCS extends the Cisco WebEx Collaboration Cloud into an organization's 

onsite network infrastructure. This deployment option allows for internal web conferencing traffic to be routed to the 

Cisco WebEx Node for MCS and remain in-house, helping reduce the load traversing the proxy server or firewall 

infrastructure and improving performance by reducing traffic latency. 

Internal meeting participants connect to the local Cisco WebEx Node for MCS, which generates a single data stream 

to the Cisco WebEx Collaboration Cloud. External attendees connect directly to the Cisco WebEx Collaboration 

Cloud. The Cisco WebEx Node for MCS also enables internal-only meetings where web conferencing traffic and 

recordings stay on-premises. 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace and the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS lets organizations combine the cost-savings 

advantages of on-premises audio conferencing, the productivity benefits of Cisco WebEx web conferencing, and the 

data performance and security benefits of an onsite platform. 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8.0 can be used with Cisco Unified Communications client solutions, including Cisco 

Unified Personal Communicator, Cisco UC Integration

™

 for Microsoft Office Communicator, Cisco UC Integration for 

Cisco WebEx Connect, and Cisco Unified IP Phones 9900 Series to let users quickly initiate multiparty audio, video, 

and Cisco WebEx web conferences. Combining presence, instant messaging, IP telephony, unified messaging, and 

rich-media conferencing helps virtual teams and organizations more effectively collaborate, innovate, and make 

decisions. 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing supports audio and video conference recording using Cisco WebEx (.arf) 

formatted files that you can download and edit with Cisco WebEx Recording Tools. Audio-only recordings are 

available in multiple formats, including Waveform Audio (WAV), MPEG Layer 3 (MP3), and Windows Media with 

Cisco MeetingPlace Scheduling Model. With Cisco MeetingPlace Scheduling Model you can play back or download 

audio and video recordings using MPEG-4 format. When integrated with Cisco WebEx meetings, you can create, 

store, download, edit, and play back synchronized audio and web recordings for Cisco WebEx Meeting Center, Event 

Center, and Training Center meetings. 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing provides deployment options to meet the needs of midsize to very large 

organizations. The solution has many proven global deployments in Fortune 500 companies. The solution delivers 

the scalability, reliability, simplified administration, security, and cost-effectiveness that IT organizations require. For 

midsize organizations, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing offers a software solution that is installed on a single 

MCS. The solution also integrates with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager directory to simplify profile 

management by automating user authentication and profile setup. Web-based administration capabilities include 

report generation, conference monitoring, diagnostics, and interface configuration. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 

solution also integrates with the Cisco WebEx solution with both automatic profile management and end-user 

authentication (on-premises). 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8.0 offers a new option for audio and video processing. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 

8.0 Express Media Server provides a completely software-based solution that is co-resident with the application on a 

standard MCS. The capacity of the server depends on the codecs that are used as well as the video resolutions. 

Table 1 lists the capacities of the servers.
