Which is the core of the Cisco Collaboration Systems solution?

Cisco TelePresence Server is a video infrastructure component that handles multipoint video conferencing and is not the core of the broader Cisco Collaboration Systems solution.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) serves as the centralized call-processing platform responsible for device registration, call routing, signaling, and feature provisioning across the entire collaboration environment. It is the component upon which all other Cisco collaboration services - such as Unity Connection and IM and Presence - depend for user and device data. No other component in the portfolio fulfills this foundational role.

Cisco Business Edition 7000 is a packaged appliance that runs CUCM and other collaboration apps on consolidated hardware, making it a derivative product built on top of the core, not the core itself.

Cisco Unity Connection is a voicemail and unified messaging application that depends on CUCM for call processing and user data, so it cannot be considered the core.
