"Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data"
Overview
This paper discusses Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data). Cisco AVVID brings to multiservice networking a standards-based, open-systems architecture for converged networking. Cisco AVVID is the continuing evolution of the five-phase plan for enterprise multiservice networking that has successfully delivered the framework for an open multiservice architecture.
Now that the five-phase strategy has successfully delivered an open multiservice architecture, Cisco AVVID springboards enterprise multiservice into the next millennium. Not content with simply overlaying existing legacy communications on a common IP infrastructure, Cisco AVVID eliminates in many cases the need for legacy systems entirely. In addition, the rapid introduction and adoption of new and innovative applications such as unified messaging, Cisco IP Contact Centers, end-to-end IP telephony and video are now possible over a quality-of-service (QoS) enabled IP infrastructure.
