  1. Unity Connection 2.0Architecture TOIPart II – Technical Area Overview June 2007

  2. Administration Clients Conversations Core Services Database Hardware Architecture Changes by Area • Media • Messaging • Reports • Security • Setup • Voice User Interface

  3. Administration • Co-residency Administration with CuCM • Single-sign-on via common realm/valve and IMS • CuCM is authoritative source of common co-res user info (CuCM end user CRUD dictates CUC user admin tasks) via NCS. • CUC switch info shared from CuCM (mwi settings, server ip, default integration, etc.) via NCS • BLAF for all web applications • Move administrative standalone tools into web admin (bulk import, bulk edit) • Move serviceability tools • into serviceability web app (trace settings, service stop/start, reports) • Into RTMT (trace file retrieval, perf counters, port status monitoring)

  4. Clients • Replace COM between Tomcat and CuCsMgr for TraP with message queue • Add External Service interface for user specific credentials (required by E2K7). • Integration with IMS to support single credentials • Performance tuning for move to Informix (more to come)

  5. Core Services • Port to Linux • Connection CLI support • IPC redesign/COM removal • Licensing simplification (java+flexlm) • ServM support instead of SRM • Serviceability (AlarmInterface, PIWriter, SDITrace) plumbed seamlessly through existing components • Port Status Monitoring Redesign

  6. Conversations (Telephone User Interface) • Port to Linux/Remove COM • Port Kubrick CDE Scripts • Support for addressing to VPIM contacts via CDL • Support for MPE integration (review/join meetings) via CCL. • Major performance tuning for CDE • HTTP support for Visual Message Locator • Complete diagnostic trace overhaul

  7. Database • Major redesign to port to Informix DBMS • Stored Procedure conversion (~500) • Data type support (GUIDs, utf-8 strings, etc.) • Major performance tuning effort • Separate Informix instance from CuCM in co-residency and standalone • Port of database components (DbEvents, ConfigData, etc.) to Linux and Informix • Setup changes from sql to InformixDb python scripts. Partition switch/upgrade support • Support for IMS

  8. Hardware/Platform • Supports majority of MCS hardware platforms supported by CuCM (including co-residency platform) • Same disk/partition allocation as provided by UCOS (active/inactive/common) • IPTables • Co residency: Integration with IPTables management (ClusterManager) • Standalone: disable ClusterManager and directly configure IPTables for minimal access. Will utilize ClusterManager in Dublin (when CuCM moves to a minimal access model).

  9. Media • Port to Linux • Replace Windows Audio Driver with CuMixer (provides transcoding, TTS interface to RealSpeak) • Replace TAPI for SCCP with direct protocol support in MIU • Baseline support (QoS phase 1) • Provide offline Wave library (for VPIM transcoding) • Thread reduction • TTS Resources Managed by MIU

  10. Messaging • Port to Linux/Informix • Replace IIS SMTP Server with CuSMTPSvr service • MTA updated to support outbound VPIM messages • MTA supports contact creation on inbound VPIM messages. Also supports contact “push” • Remove stream server • Secure Messaging approach • CCL calendaring layer to MPE for meeting access • Upgrade/Rollback framework support (Messages preserved)

  11. Reports • Administration • Moved to serviceability web application • Collection • Harvestor (CuScavenger) re-implemented in Java for simplicity • Removes RDL component in favor of direct database access

  12. Security • CSA: Single version supports CuCM, CUC, and CuCMBE • IPTables/NetFilter: Minimal ingress for UC Standalone. Specific blocks in co residency to minimize access to additional UC sockets • IMS: Authentication plus credential policies for all three products

  13. Setup • CuCM/UCOS updated to support VTG application install on “sleeping seadragon” platform • CUC Setup completely redesigned to leverage CuCM/UCOS framework • Single Distribution Media/Build for CuCM standalone, CUC standalone, and CUCMBE • No additional questions added to CuCM installation. CUC configuration not required by setup moved to web administration • Supports L2 partition-switch upgrade/rollback in co residency and standalone.

  14. Conversations (Voice User Interface) • Ported components to Linux • Voice recognition services provided by Nuance OpenSpeech Recognizer (v3.0) through a media (MIU) connection to the Nuance (MRCP) server. • VPIM contact addressing (name, name@location for disambiguation) • Meeting Place Express Integration (list and join meetings) • Offbox ASR service not supported in this release

  15. Summary • Connection 2.0 represents a significant effort which involved changes to all technical areas in providing an appliance based, non-windows solution • Connection 2.0 supports co residency and standalone versions with same code-base/build/distribution media • Connection 2.0 provides a key step in the roadmap for the future of the Unity Connection Product
