[cisco-voip] CUCM 8.6 hardware

[Matthew Loraditch]

Under introduction:
The following are identical regardless of the support model chosen:

  *   Virtual machine (OVA) requirements
  *   VMware product, version and feature support
  *   VMware configuration requirements for UC
  *   Application/VM Co-residency policy (specifically regarding application mix, 3rd-party support, reservations, oversubscription). Max VM count per server with specs-based depends on the physical server configuration and the OVAs deployed. E.g. UCS C210 M2 TRC#1 deployed with multiple CUCM 7.5K user OVAs can support 4:1. If specs-based was used with a supported dual 6-core CPU and appropriate increases in memory and storage, the same server model running multiple CUCM 7.5K user OVAs could support 6:1.
Basically referring you back to the policy as defined on the UC on UCS pages

where does it say they do not support co-residency with other applications?

not that I don't believe you, I just can't see this in the doc and need to refer to it.

Yes, but they do not support co-residency with other applications, which leads the customer to having to buy at least two additional IBM/HP servers…

I agree with Scott, I’d like to see soon “true” 3rd party hardware on VMWare support.

… ah, and also a decent consolidation ratio would be nice, not just 1:1…

They support 3rd Party VMWare as of a few months ago:

my question is how long is cisco going to mandate the UCS stuff before they start supporting 3rd party hardware on VMWare....  we have a huge VM deployment of HP but I have to tell our server team we have to buy Cisco UCS products...... Doesn't make people very happy :-(

On C class you can use local as well as remote storage, it supports SAN boot installation.  I have done a mixed one on C series - VMware installation on internal disks but CUCM is installed on the SAN disks.

Quick question re: UCS, do you have to use remote storage or can you use local storage?

Depends on your discount, whether you purchase bare-metal from Cisco or direct from HP/IBM, etc.  You've also got to factor in VMware costs plus added operational complexity for UCS.  That said, ongoing operational costs (eg; smartnet) are much lower for UCS than for bare-metal servers (and on-par with direct manufacturer support for HP/IBM hardware)

That said, I'm a huge proponent of deploying on UCS, b or c-series as appropriate.  Of the 20-30 designs I've put together for customers over the past 12-18 months (ranging from <500 phones to 10K+ phones and 1K+ UCCE agents) that actually became deployed projects, all but 1 are deployed on UCS with an exception for a customer that has a rigorous hardware qualification process and won't qualify UCS for use in their data centers.

Ah - well, supported and sold are two different things I guess.

The supported platforms will help if you have the platforms already, but not if you are looking to buy new. I do recall quite a few of them being EOL'ed, especially the H series, but you'd have to check the price list and your account team for availability.

There is always the SWONLY option (which is much cheaper). As far as I know, they are MCS equivalents so they are supported.

I'm getting conflicting information from someone at Cisco is all.
They told me they aren't selling MCS servers any longer.
