The deployment of a Unified CM Session Management Edition enables commonly used applications, such as conferencing or videoconferencing to connect directly to the session management cluster, which reduces the overhead of managing multiple trunks to leaf systems.

Unified CM Session Management Edition supports the following applications: Unity, Unity Connection - Meeting Place, Meeting Place Express SIP and H.323-based video conferencing systems Third Party voice mail systems - Fax servers - Cisco Unified Mobility - The following applications must connect to the leaf cluster: Unified Contact Centre, CUCM, Unified Contact Centre Express Cisco Unified Presence Server - Attendant Console - Manager Assistant - IP IVR - Cisco Voice Portal - Reference:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/session_mgmt/deploy/8_5 _1/overview.html.

In a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition (SME) deployment, the leaf cluster is responsible for handling the majority of call processing. It is connected to the core cluster and can be used to connect various applications to the core cluster.

Of the applications listed, the two that must be connected to a leaf cluster in a Cisco Unified Communications Manager SME deployment are:

  1. Cisco Unified Meeting Place: This is a web conferencing application that allows users to schedule, host, and attend virtual meetings using a variety of communication methods, including video, audio, and web-based collaboration tools. Connecting it to the leaf cluster ensures that it can be accessed and managed efficiently within the overall deployment.

  2. Cisco Unified Communications Manager: This is the core application for managing call processing in the Cisco Unified Communications system. While it is not strictly necessary to connect it to the leaf cluster, doing so can help to improve overall performance and make it easier to manage.

The other applications listed - Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, H.323-based video conferencing systems, Cisco Unity, and fax servers - may also be connected to the leaf cluster, depending on the specific requirements of the deployment. However, they are not required to be connected to the leaf cluster in all cases.
