[cisco-voip] Cisco UCS or other VMWare platform

[Matthew Loraditch]

Take a look here: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Specification-Based_Hardware_Support
Your IBM environment would need to support those specs. This is pretty new so I doubt many have done it yet, but as long as you meet the requirements it should  not really be any different than installing on UCS as the VMware in the middle is still the same. The only real difference will be how you handle support when  it is needed. i.e. if you get down to the problem being VMware or hardware you would have to call VMware or IBM respectively instead of sticking with TAC the whole time.

Hello group

we are evaluating UCS for our voice servers. we plan to set up on UCS C servers.
my boss asked me to also evaluate the posibillity to install the voice servers on our IBM X86 VMWare (ESXi 4.1) infrastructure.

Has anybody experience installing CUCM, CUPS, IP IVR, UCCE on a non UCS VMWare platform?

Thanks for feedback

Reto
