Administration
Co-residency Administration with CuCMSingle-sign-on via common realm/valve and IMS
CuCM is authoritative source of common co-res user info (CuCM end user CRUD dictates CUC user admin tasks) via NCS.
CUC switch info shared from CuCM (mwi settings, server ip, default integration, etc.) via NCS
BLAF for all web applications
Move administrative standalone tools into web admin (bulk import, bulk edit)
Move serviceability tools into serviceability web app (trace settings, service stop/start, reports)
Into RTMT (trace file retrieval, perf counters, port status monitoring)

Clients
Replace COM between Tomcat and CuCsMgr for TraP with message queue
Add External Service interface for user specific credentials (required by E2K7).
Integration with IMS to support single credentials
Performance tuning for move to Informix (more to come)

Core Services
Port to Linux
Connection CLI support
IPC redesign/COM removal
Licensing simplification (java+flexlm)
ServM support instead of SRM
Serviceability (AlarmInterface, PIWriter, SDITrace) plumbed seamlessly through existing components
Port Status Monitoring Redesign

Conversations (Telephone User Interface)
Port to Linux/Remove COM
Port Kubrick CDE Scripts
Support for addressing to VPIM contacts via CDL
Support for MPE integration (review/join meetings) via CCL.
Major performance tuning for CDE
HTTP support for Visual Message Locator
Complete diagnostic trace overhaul

Database
Major redesign to port to Informix DBMS Stored Procedure conversion (~500)
Data type support (GUIDs, utf-8 strings, etc.)
Major performance tuning effort
Separate Informix instance from CuCM in co-residency and standalone
Port of database components (DbEvents, ConfigData, etc.) to Linux and Informix
Setup changes from sql to InformixDb python scripts. Partition switch/upgrade support
Support for IMS

Hardware/Platform
Supports majority of MCS hardware platforms supported by CuCM (including co-residency platform)
Same disk/partition allocation as provided by UCOS (active/inactive/common)
IPTablesCo residency: Integration with IPTables management (ClusterManager)
Standalone: disable ClusterManager and directly configure IPTables for minimal access. Will utilize ClusterManager in Dublin (when CuCM moves to a minimal access model).

Media
Port to Linux
Replace Windows Audio Driver with CuMixer (provides transcoding, TTS interface to RealSpeak)
Replace TAPI for SCCP with direct protocol support in MIU
Baseline support (QoS phase 1)
Provide offline Wave library (for VPIM transcoding)
Thread reduction
TTS Resources Managed by MIU

Messaging
Port to Linux/Informix
Replace IIS SMTP Server with CuSMTPSvr service
MTA updated to support outbound VPIM messages
MTA supports contact creation on inbound VPIM messages. Also supports contact “push”
Remove stream server
Secure Messaging approach
CCL calendaring layer to MPE for meeting access
Upgrade/Rollback framework support (Messages preserved)

Reports
Administration Moved to serviceability web application
CollectionHarvestor (CuScavenger) re-implemented in Java for simplicity
Removes RDL component in favor of direct database access

Security
CSA: Single version supports CuCM, CUC, and CuCMBE
IPTables/NetFilter: Minimal ingress for UC Standalone. Specific blocks in co residency to minimize access to additional UC sockets
IMS: Authentication plus credential policies for all three products

Setup
CuCM/UCOS updated to support VTG application install on “sleeping seadragon” platform
CUC Setup completely redesigned to leverage CuCM/UCOS framework
Single Distribution Media/Build for CuCM standalone, CUC standalone, and CUCMBE
No additional questions added to CuCM installation. CUC configuration not required by setup moved to web administration
Supports L2 partition-switch upgrade/rollback in co residency and standalone.

Conversations (Voice User Interface)
Ported components to Linux
Voice recognition services provided by Nuance OpenSpeech Recognizer (v3.0) through a media (MIU) connection to the Nuance (MRCP) server.
VPIM contact addressing (name, name@location for disambiguation)
Meeting Place Express Integration (list and join meetings)
Offbox ASR service not supported in this release

Summary
Connection 2.0 represents a significant effort which involved changes to all technical areas in providing an appliance based, non-windows solution
Connection 2.0 supports co residency and standalone versions with same code-base/build/distribution media
Connection 2.0 provides a key step in the roadmap for the future of the Unity Connection Product
