Cisco unveiled its new Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution at the CiscoLive networking event held in Las Vegas. The new solution is particularly targeted towards the cloud computing ecosystem.

The Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution is built on existing Cisco Unified Communications offerings. It enables service providers and integrators to deploy multiple collaboration applications on one server in a virtualized environment and then host these applications for multiple client organizations.

Anthony Recine, vice president of networking and communications solutions for Verizon Business said, “Our customers are eager to put cloud-based unified communications applications to the test. Verizon Business’ field trial of Cisco’s Hosted Collaboration Solution builds on a proven track record the two companies have established developing and delivering innovative solutions to market, while marking an important milestone on Verizon Business’ path to deliver ‘Everything-as-a-Service’ for our customers worldwide.”

Paul Molinier, vice president, Unified Communications and Collaboration Business Unit, Orange commented, “Delivering our customers the broadest-range and highest-quality hosted unified communications and collaboration services is one of our core businesses. The Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution will allow us to achieve this goal with an excellent operational efficiency and profitability for our clients.”
