Introduction to Cisco_Meeting_Server_3_6_2_CMS2000.zip
Cisco_Meeting_Server_3_6_2_CMS2000.zip is the deployment package for Cisco Meeting Server (CMS) 3.6.2, specifically optimized for CMS2000 hardware clusters. Released on March 15, 2025, this update focuses on enhancing multi-vendor conference room interoperability and addressing critical vulnerabilities identified in earlier CMS 3.5.x releases. Designed for enterprises requiring hybrid collaboration environments, the software supports integration with Microsoft Teams, Webex, and legacy SIP/H.323 systems while maintaining NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 compliance standards.
The package includes preconfigured virtual machine templates for VMware vSphere 8.0 and Nutanix AHV 2024.1, enabling rapid deployment of CMS2000 clusters. Compatible systems include Cisco UCS C240 M6 servers and third-party H.323 endpoints like Polycom Group Series and Cisco Webex Room Kits.
