Explanation
In a typical Cisco Unified CCX agent web chat deployment for an online retail shop, Cisco SocialMiner can be deployed in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). The DMZ is a network segment that lies between the Internet and the corporate network, and it provides a layer of security and isolation for the servers that are exposed to the public. Cisco SocialMiner is a server that enables social media customer care by capturing and routing social contacts from various sources, such as web chat, email, Twitter, and Facebook. By deploying Cisco SocialMiner in the DMZ, the online retail shop can offer web chat services to its customers without exposing the Cisco Unified CCX server or the agent desktops to the Internet. Cisco SocialMiner acts as a proxy between the web chat clients and the Cisco Unified CCX server, and it communicates with the Cisco Unified CCX server using a secure HTTPS connection. The web chat clients can access Cisco SocialMiner using a public URL, and Cisco SocialMiner can also access external social media sources if needed.
