[cisco-voip] Hardware Re-purposing to replace EOL

[Ed Leatherman]

I'm still new to the whole UCS/VMware thing with UC, but couldn't you
put the pub and one of the subs on the same blade along with CER? Is
there not enough CPU? That way your call processing is still on
separate blades.
Or are you just specifically trying to find a use for the 7825 and
have a sub off of UCS?
