Voice, part of
UNIFY, and combines high-definition (HD) video, voice, and web collaboration tools into a single unified
communications and collaboration (UCC) environment. This partner solution guide is intended for
administrators integrating UNIFY with Polycom products and for support personnel working with
customers to set up the solution described in this guide.
UNIFY OpenScape Video and UNIFY OpenScape Voice are session initiation protocol (SIP)-based
communications technologies that integrate with your existing video, voice, and web communications
applications and enable you to unify your communications environment. UNIFY OpenScape Video
provides easy transition from H.323 to SIP, enabling you to connect video endpoints using H.323 or SIP
through IP-to-IP gateways or session border controllers (SBCs). This partner solution guide uses the
Acme Packet Net-Net SBC in UC architecture examples and use cases. You can use UNIFY OpenScape
Video to set up video conferences with a virtual multipoint control unit (MCU) that consists of multiple
physical MCUs and a mechanism that balances resource use and controls switchover in the event of
outages.
