[cisco-voip] CUCM 7

Thu Dec 4 09:33:06 EST 2008

I can't recall, I think you have to buy 4 to 6 and then 6 to 7. The whole deal is, if the upgrades cost you more than buying the product outright, then you buy the product outright. But again, if I have to pay 3 years of UCSS and 3 years of UCSS is more expensive than buying the product outright, we might go that way. Especially if we only plan on upgrading every four years. As long as they keep the technical upgrade path, if not, we'll likely start looking at Microsoft. ;)

I think this is where they are headed. I had an SE tell me they were going this way so that it would cost more not to have UCSS. ALso are you sure you can purchase an upgrade from 4.x to 7.X just as an example?

I really think Cisco shot themselves (and us) in the foot by demising SASU and creating UCSS. If it was still SASU, we would buy SASU every year. But now, we're gonna simply buy the upgrade when necessary. As long as it's not every two years, we're financially better off. Granted we won't get all the bells and whistles, but we'll still have a phone system. I'm just waiting for them to implement an N-1 upgrade limit which says you can only upgrade to version 8 if you are on v7. Then we're really screwed. ;)

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.
