Small business are organizations with fewer than 1000 phones, medium businesses have fewer than 10,000 

phones, and large enterprises are organizations with more than 10,000 phones and up to 100,000 phones 

(Figure 4). The Cisco Prime Collaboration software is now provided as Open Virtualization Archives (OVAs) 

specific to each deployment, so there are OVAs for small, medium, large, and very large deployments. These 

OVAs for each instance of Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance can manage multisite and multicluster IP 

communications environments. Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance provides real-time notifications, using SNMP 

traps, syslog notifications, and email, that help enable Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance to report the status of 

the network being monitored to a higher-level entity (typically a MoM).

Video infrastructure can be loosely termed as layers of network and applications that are needed to successfully 

create an end-to-end video Cisco TelePresence session. Figure 5 shows a typical video infr

astructure. Now let’s 

consider each of the layers: 

● 

Network: The network is the foundation of all the layers. You need a reliable and efficient network for any 

video calls to go through it. 

● 

Endpoints: Endpoints are the video devices such as the personal Cisco TelePresence System EX90, the 

Cisco TelePresence Movi (Movi) Camera, or maybe the Cisco TelePresence System 1300 Series Server 

that is used to actually send and receive live video.
