[cisco-voip] Replacement for old 7815-i3 for unity connection 8.6

[Matthew Loraditch]

MCS servers are almost completely sold out, only a few models remain at random distributors worldwide and the 3rd party options are from my understanding are also no longer available.

Your best and recommended option is to go Virtual. You have 3rd party virtualization options, but I would say go BE6K. See here: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_in_a_Virtualized_Environment

Dear all ,

We are looking to upgrade from UCX 7.1.x to 8.6

I understand our 7815-i3 is not supported on 8.x

I can't work out exactly what the best replacement is,

The MCS's listed here

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/supported_platforms/8xcucspl.html#wp760981

Are all EOL with IBM .


Is the UCS-C210M2 suitable for a non-virtualised platform?

Alternatively I also want to investigate virtualising this server and an old 7816 running CUCM 7.1 going to 8.6  and the above server on one platform.



We have les than 150 handsets and less than 100 mailboxes.

Anyone gone through this?



Rob
