/mcpUnified Communications Manager supports recording to a single recording server and can be deployed with CUBE as media proxy to record to more than one recording server. • In multi-fork recording, Unified Communications Manager is connected to CUBE Media Proxy server through SIP trunk. The CUBE Media Proxy server receives two media streams from phone or gateway and it forks the media streams to one or more recording servers simultaneously. • In recording to single recording servers, Unified Communications Manager is directly connected to recording server through SIP trunk. The phone or the gateway forks two media streams to the recording server. Multi-Fork Recording Unified Communications Manager supports simultaneous, multiple stream recordings through Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) as Media Proxy. In Multi-fork recording, the recording stream is sent to a CUBE Media Proxy server, which relays the media stream to up to five recording servers simultaneously. This is supported for both phone-based and network-based recording, and for both automatic and selective recording. The multi-forking feature provides the following benefits: • Adds redundancy and failover to your recording deployment. • Provides additional media streams for speech analysis and monitoring. • Helps organization, such as financial industry, to be compliant to MiFID requirements, that mandate recording of customer calls to multiple recording servers for redundancy. When you implement multi-fork recording, you must configure the CUBE Media Proxy server in your network which connects to Unified Communications Manager over a SIP trunk. For more information on CUBE Media Proxy, see Cisco Unified Border Element Configuration Guide. Connection from Unified Communications Manager to CUBE Media Proxy server over a SIP trunk must be configured with Early Offer. Note The following example illustrates the phone-based recording of multi-fork recording through CUBE Media Proxy.
