Discussion Jabber on Notebooks and Cisco 2901 gateway

[ice.polar]

At work we now have Cisco Jabber clients on notebooks. Internal connections are now possible, allthought with great latency because the central "master" resides a thousand kilometers thru europe away behind a VPN-connection. As a country subsidiary a local cisco 2901 should connect to the telephony  as a gateway...

- How is the general architecture of cisco collaboration?

- Is it correct to look at our cisco 2901 like a local domain-controller in windows-network?

The 2900 can act as a local IP telephony system (Either as CallManager Express, or a backup system as SRST) But Jabber clients currently requires a full-blown server for users to connect to.

Hi

Thx for the answer. To figure it out more clear on a top-level:

We are sitting in the south of europe and our master resides up in North. Using Jabber clients on notebooks a telephony-call to customers in our country will go throught vpn-tunnel up north to u-turn and  come down to our cisco2901 which is connected to legacy telephony-(ISDN-)wires and finally to customers...

Is this a recommended architecture?
