Cisco branding

New branding and colors throughout the graphic user interface and accompanying
documentation.

Denial-of-service handling

Three new administration settings ensure that an overloaded server remains available
and can continue to provide service to existing users and legitimate incoming users.

Enhanced installation

The installer is in a self-contained software package that you can download and install
without Cisco involvement. This includes installing SQL Server as part of the install.

Enhanced slide caching

In lecture-style meetings, enhanced slide caching downloads three slides subsequent to
the slide being shown, thus improving network load and restricting guest users from
controlling the presentation.

An improved configuration allows you to configure your systems with Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL).

Enhanced upgrades

Separates customizations from the main product; allowing you to maintain your
customizations despite web-conferencing software upgrades.
