What Is Available to Download?

The following Cisco Unified Application Environment products are available as free downloads for development and test purposes:

  • Cisco Unified Application Environment Developer Tools
    Developers can choose to develop applications that run in-process in the Unified Application Server or inside an application container of their choice on some other network server. For in-process applications, the developer may use the Cisco Unified Application Designer. The Unified Application Designer is a visual development environment where the developer uses drag-and-drop techniques to construct applications containing communications business logic. For applications that need to run outside the container provided by the Unified Application Server, the Cisco Unified Application Environment development tools include utilities and interface definitions that leverage Etch. Using Etch, Cisco Unified Communications applications may be built with either Java or C# and embedded in the application container of the developer's choice.
  • Cisco Unified Application Server
    The Cisco Unified Application Server abstracts the complexity of unified communications and exports a network service that gives the application developer a single, technologically consistent entry point into Cisco Unified Communications. Applications can be hosted by the application server itself or embedded in an application container of the developer's choice (e.g., J2EE, ASP.NET, etc.)
  • Cisco Unified Media Engine
    The Cisco Unified Media Engine is a software-only media server that provides ready-to-use, sophisticated media processing capabilities such as interactive voice response (IVR), conferencing, transcoding, text-to-speech (TTS), speech recognition, and speaker verification. These capabilities are exposed to applications through the interfaces provided by the Unified Application Server.
