[cisco-voip] Unity VM Only with Failover

[LuisYrigoyen at bayviewfinancial.com]

Adam,
        We just went throught the same thing:

It depends, if you install the version of exchange provided by Cisco then 
you're covered but it you decide to use another version (2003 or 2007) 
then you must purchase CALs for every subscriber (about $70 each).  You 
still need the windows server licenses on the server you're going to run 
exchange.
For failover you will need to purchase failover licenses for every 
subscriber (about $20 - 25 each).
Yes, you do need to provide the SQL licenses also; that dowsn't change.

Now, this is if you are only planning failover for Unity services and not 
exchange.  If you are planning to provide redundancy for exchange services 
you need to buy CALs for each subscriber.

The exchange version that came with our Unity media was Exchange 2000.

[cisco-voip] Unity VM Only with Failover






If I have a Unity 4.0 system set up currently in a voicemail only
configuration with Exchange locally on the server and want to add
failover, what is the procedure? I saw that I need to seperate the
Unity server and the Exchange information store, but wasn't sure how
this worked from a licensing stand point. Is the Exchange license
provided by Cisco still valid if it is installed on a different box,
or do I need to obtain my own Exchange license and CALS? Also I assume
I need to provide my own SQL licenses for both Unity servers, is that
correct? Any other gotchas or things to consider?

Thanks,
Adam
