Hello Karen,

It is not. It is a completely different product with a different architecture and feature set.

Hello Guys,

If this is the case, what would be the reason of using CWMS rather then CMS?

Thanks,

Tom

Dear Tom,

CMS : Cisco Meeting Server brings video, audio, and web communication together to meet the collaboration needs of the modern workplace. Cisco Meeting App allows anyone to create, join, and run meetings easily, from room or desktop video systems, mobile clients, or browsers. Cisco Meeting Server helps ensure that everyone gets a consistent, familiar meeting experience, whether they’re joining a meeting using Cisco or third-party video endpoints, a Cisco Jabber^® client, Cisco Meeting App (native or via a WebRTC compatible browser), or Skype for Business. Any number of people can join a meeting, up to the limit of the available underlying hardware, and bandwidth usage is optimized in order to reduce cost. Cisco Meeting Server provides a user experience that is simple, intuitive, and easy.

CWMS : Cisco WebEx Meetings Server is a highly secure, fully virtualized, behind-the-firewall conferencing solution that combines audio, video, and web conferencing in a single solution. With Cisco WebEx Meetings Server, you can respond to organizational requirements for higher productivity and employee-led innovation, as well as support more dynamic collaboration and flexible work styles

- You will not get Conference Bridge like telepresence server so you can say CMS is replacing Telepresence server and conductor, not CWMS.

CMS :

Mainly you will get below feature in CMS Box:

- Call bridge 

- XMPP for app registration externally and internally

- WebRTC 

- TURN

- Recording and streaming.

To get the best idea of what each product can do and the features they provide is to check their data sheets:

Cisco WebEx Meeting Server Data Sheet

Cisco Meeting Server Data Sheet

In the end, it all comes down to what features and capabilities are you looking for, what do you want to achieve and which product fits best with what you have existing and possibly looking to purchase later.

hi, Mr Sushant Sharma

I can not understand the difference, between "cms" and "webex"

the both used for communication audio-video (with terminal hard, soft or browser web )

the both supported SIP, H323 and TIP

in the both the participants can created the virtual rooms

so, what is the difference

 please,  you explain more

[Patrick Sparkman]

Recommend you take a look at the data sheets linked in my other reply as well, it goes over what each platform is and what they're capable of, also take a look at the other replies in this thread as they give examples of the differences and features of both.

Cisco Meeting Server (CMS) is comparable to an MCU/TelePresence Server products.  It is not a replacement for CWMS and has nothing to do with WebEx, take a look at the CMS Data Sheet for more information on what it does and it's capabilities.
