I'm trying to figure out what I need to build a videoconferencing system, and I'm going slowly insane browsing through Cisco's web site. I already have:
Main site with a Cisco 3825 w/ Adv IP 12.4, where I expect I'll have 5
- 10 users who will regularly use a videoconferencing system
Remote site with a Cisco 2811 w/ Adv IP 12.4, where I'll have 3 - 5 users
I'll be adding 5 - 6 additional remote sites with 2811s, with 3 - 5 regular users each.
Everyone will be connected across T1s and IP.
I though I could just use MeetingPlace Express, but I've just realized that MPE is for voice and web conferencing only, and has no video component.
So I'm trying to figure out all the bits and pieces of MeetingPlace, and I just can't work out what I truly need. If I'm half-way on track, a 8106 30UL IP Bundle will get me started, but I'll also have to buy a Media Convergence Server AND a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 AND the Video Integration software. So far, that's over $100K, and I haven't gotten any goodies like Outlook integration or sufficient web conferencing licenses.
Is there anything else I'm missing? Or am I way off base, and MPE will work just fine? If anyone has experience with Cisco Videoconferencing, I sure would appreciate the advise.
Oh, and no "Why don't you buy Acme's Super Dooper Video Solution with Tint Control?" I'm looking for advice, not a sales pitch.
