[cisco-voip] Is anyone using Unity Connection 8.0.1?

[Billie Brown III]

Capacity is the big driver.  We will ultimately need about 25,000 subscribers.  Unity connection Release 8.0 gives 20,000 subscribers and 250 ports per system.  We plan to have two clusters networked.  We would need three clusters if we went 7.x.

Also, integrated messaging does not reduce total ports and subscribers like it does in the 7.x releases.  And non-IMAP Idle clients do not reduce subscribers.  In Release 8.0, a port is a port.  It matters not if the subscriber is integratede with Exchange.  This is per Cisco.  I admit that I too have .0 reservations but it is somewhat compelling.

Thanks,

I've never had good luck with .0 releases myself, at least for call

What kind of reason did Cisco give for suggesting version 8?
