[cisco-voip] CCM Reboot Times

[Matt Slaga (US)]

If your servers have not been rebooted in over a year, you are running
some very old OS patches.  Depending on how secure your voice network
is, this could lead to some serious risks in your environment.  

You should not be going over 3 months between reboots because Cisco
regularly releases updates every 3 months shortly after Microsoft's.

As far as the competition, many vendors do not consider system upgrades
as part of their downtime since it would be considered "maintenance" and
not outage.  Interesting idea I suppose, but not very truthful.

Thanks!
Matt

Interesting answers for me, also, as I am in the final phase of a Cisco
VoIP 
rollout. I must say am surprised that no answers have included the
Windows OS 
patching-and-rebooting requirements, though ?!?
