difference between vcs-e and vcs expressway???

[baselzind]

as far as i know both vcs-e and vcs-expressway do the same function but i have heard there is some differences? can anyone point them out?

Yeah, both have same functionality as traversal servers. The difference is the VCS-E supports local registrations for external H323/SIP endpoints and Expressway-E don't. Licensing scheme is also different wherein VCS-E needs traversal call licenses for traversal calls and Expressway-E needs Rich Media Session Licenses (RMS). Expressway-E as traversal server for Expressway-C mainly for Mobile and Remote Access (MRA) on UCM environment for VPN-less Jabber clients and endpoints that needs to be registered locally on the CUCM. It also supports B2B/B2C calling as the VCS-E.

I think this kind of query was already asked before in this forum. If you will search on the forum you will find the same posts.
