[cisco-voip] CUCM 7

[Ryan Ratliff]

The release notes specify the new features available in each  
release.   That is the first place you should look.

7.0 is not just a renumber of 6.1 with a few fixes.  There is a lot  
of work and new features introduced in a major version update like this.

The SRND is also a very good resource for information.

Michael,

I did an install of CM7 last week.

It is very close to 6 however it does add some really important  
features.

Now on the route patterns you can select what kind of ISDN type/plan  
to send the call as instead of doing in H323 translations.

It also adds FULL support for E.164 number plans.  In other words you  
can normalize everything within the system to use a + sign and then  
strip it if the telco does not want to see it.  This is a big deal if  
you plan on ever integrating with Microsoft OCS  Or if you do  
anything international.

Thanks for the input.  Upgrading beyond 7 is not an issue for us due to
financial reasons.  We have the 6.1 and 7 software now; we are just
waiting on some new hardware and the time to put it all together.  I was
really hoping that someone else would have already installed 7, but I
guess it is still fairly new.

I would expect a CM version upgrade at least every 18 months. That
would mean CM 8.0 in Spring/Summer 2010.

I may have mentioned it on the list a while back. I came to this
conclusion for the simple fact that the release date of v7 was only 6 to
8 months after the release of v6 or something like that. We were told
that originally this would be 12 months and then that moved to 18
months. How could they have done it in 8?

So, honestly, I think it's somewhere in the middle. ;)

I read somewhere (maybe here) that CUCM 7 is pretty much the same as
6.1, but with a name change to be more consistent with the other
products.  Does anyone know if this is true?  The reason I am asking
is
because we are going to upgrade end of first quarter next year, and I
am
trying to decide if we will go with 6.1 or 7.  If I go with 7 I won't
have to worry about a major upgrade for another 3 to 5 years, only
minor
upgrades.  Has anyone had any direct experience with 7?  Please share
any useful information you may have.  Thanks.
