Features of Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy
Cisco Intercompany Media Engine enables companies to interconnect on-demand, over the Internet with
advanced features made available by VoIP technologies. Cisco Intercompany Media Engine allows for
business-to-business federation between Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters in different
enterprises by utilizing peer-to-peer, security, and SIP protocols to create dynamic SIP trunks between
businesses. A collection of enterprises work together to end up looking like one large business with
inter-cluster trunks between them.
The adaptive security appliance applies its existing TLS proxy, SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG),
and SIP verification features to the functioning of Cisco Intercompany Media Engine.
