[cisco-voip] Is anyone using using a non-Cisco approved serverforCUCM?

[Omori, Hiroshi]

I just re-read my reply and what I meant to say was ".  Good to know I
wasn't the only one who received a quote for more current components for
half the price of the Cisco spec'd server."



Thanks again for the responses.

 

Hiroshi

Wow, I wasn't expecting any replies until the morning.  Thanks for the
info.  Good to know I wasn't the only one who received a quote for
double the price of the Cisco spec'd server.

I think we can all agree that that HP badged servers are cheaper. But I
think the original request was for non-CCS approved HP boxes. The
current discontinued MCS-7845v2 specs are about double the cost of a
current spec'ed model. My HP rep couldn't believe I was buying this over
the current specs at double the cost. So basically, double the cost and
at half the performance. :(

I'm getting ready to replace 3 of my 7845's that are going
end-of-support with HP's. MUCH cheaper.
