[cisco-voip] Summary new Cisco Unified Console

[Bennie Grant]

Sorry to tell you this, but you are NOT correct I'm afraid:

Cisco Attendant Console (CAC) is end of life and unsupported on new installations of CM 7.x and above

Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console (CUBAC), Cisco Unified Department Attendant Console (CUDAC) and Cisco Unified Enterprise Attendant Console (CUEAC) are the replacements for the new EoL old CAC. All of these options are "pay for" - there is no FREE Attendant Console option. These are the Arc Solutions OEM Consoles. Therefore, there is a PER SEAT/PER CONSOLE license fee for any of the new Attendant Consoles - referred to as CUxAC as the portfolio.

List pricing for these consoles (if memory serves me right is)

CUDAC - $1,195
CUBAC - $2,195
CUEAC - $2,995

Arc Enterprise Solutions Plus is then available, and then beyond that Arc Enterprise Premium for Arc partners (of which DD is one).

For any of these options, a physical server is required. The Arc portfolio supports VM, however TAC do not support CUxAC in a Virtual environment today.

Let me know if you need any more information on this - DiData are a recently signed fully fledged Arc partner, and we'll be doing a lot of education sessions, training etc with you over the coming weeks & months to help you through this. In the meantime though, drop me a line if you need any more info

However, the bottom line is NO - this new Cisco Attendant Consoles are not free!

Am I correct in that CUEAC is a free product in regards to the Cisco software license fees? (I still need a server, OS, SQL, etc)
