Centralized Call Processing

Unified CM
cluster and application at central/HQ site DSP resources should be distributed
to large branch sites Supports up to 30,000 SIP or SCCP phones per cluster
Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) for
remote branches Maximum 1000 sites per cluster (500 branches before Unified CM
6.x) Some remote branches may have PSTN connectivity
