[cisco-voip] another question for the cisco folk

[Subhrojyoti Banerjee]

Hi Wes,

I posted the same question today, but had another related query. Although it's pretty interesting fact, but it's a bit in contradiction to what has been said about this before. This concept comes up in the UCCE 7.5 BOM, where it says-

*********(Pg 12)***********************
Central Processing Unit
Each individual core in a multi-core processor does not count as a processor towards server requirements given in Appendix A – Server Classes. A processor is considered a single physical CPU, regardless of the number of cores.

*************************************** 

But if a single E5540 processor quad core Nehalem processor can function as a "7845" equivalent - with the number of supported phones in line with the 7845 figures (of course with 4+GB and 4 x 140GB drives), then that's a competitive piece of hardware. What do you think?

Thanks,
Subhrojyoti

that's kinda cool. save the cost of a CPU. should make the total cost a bit cheaper.

i guess UCCE, Connection, etc, require the additional quad core CPU to sustain the higher device loads.

thanks for chiming in. ;)

Confirmed, it is a single quad core instead of 2 dual cores. 
Intentional and by design.

the cisco folk can chime in here...the latest swonly specs for the HP
servers show that the 7845 equivalent (not really, but the one that
serves 7500 units) is only one CPU, unlike the high availability
servers for connection which has two CPUs.

  

was there an error in the docs or is the 7500 device server really only
one CPU?

  

i'm hoping some internal training reflects the correct stats.
