Service Advertisement Framework (SAF)

The dynamic, plug-and-play Cisco Service Advertisement Framework (SAF) for network applications helps servers and clients advertise, discover, and select services. Cisco SAF is network based and distributes information through IP routing technologies. You can deploy and manage services across the network with greater scalability, availability, and flexibility.

Use Cisco SAF with Unified Communications

Deploying Cisco Unified Communications and Cisco SAF together can fully automate, advertise, and distribute services across your entire Cisco UC network, including your company's:

• Dial plan
• Call control
• Discovery
• Recovery
