Cisco JabberProduct Overview
Cisco Jabber product overview
Cisco Jabber technology is designed to work with open instant messaging (IM) and was recently formalized as an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) as required by IETF Internet standards for online presence and messaging. It operates as an XML-based open source platform similar to Apache and Linux. Its primary differentiating feature is an intuitive, email-like interface which uses the ‘@’ suffix. The system uses this to pick and read email addresses from providers and indicate their exact origin.
Jabber was originally designed by a group of IT volunteers with the idea to make it an open source tool. The concept evolved, including many new advanced features and technical support. It is also available as a wireless app that can be used on mobile devices.
