About the Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS)
The Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) software simplifies session management and control of
telepresence conferences. It provides flexible and extensible conferencing applications, enabling organizations to
benefit from increased employee productivity and enhanced communication with partners and customers.
The VCS delivers exceptional scalability and resiliency, secure communications, and simplified large-scale provisioning
and network administration in conjunction with Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (Cisco TMS).
The VCS interworks transparently with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), bringing rich telepresence
services to organizations with Unified CM. It also offers interoperability with third-party unified communications, IP
telephony networks, and voice-over-IP (VoIP) systems.
The VCS supports on-premises and cloud applications and is available as a dedicated appliance or as a virtualized
application on VMware, with additional support for Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) platforms.
You can deploy the VCS as the VCS Control for use within an enterprise and as the VCS Expressway for business-tobusiness and remote and mobile worker external communication. An alternative solution, suited to small to mediumsized businesses (SMBs), is the VCS Starter Pack Express.
Optional packages that you can deploy include FindMe, Device Provisioning, and Advanced Networking (VCS
Expressway only).
