[cisco-voip] UC on UCS storage.....

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Oh, and remember how great it was with dedicated servers that you could start upgrades on all subscribers at once? Ya, not really recommended any longer. The upgrade IOPS, etc required during an upgrade jump significantly. Concurrent upgrades would put a tremendous strain on off box storage. I doubt very highly you'd get a storage team to guarantee four x upgrade req's for a concurrent upgrade on four servers.

When you give these numbers to your storage folks, the usual response is that it's difficult to guarantee those numbers. Any tools that Cisco has only exist on the servers themselves, so you have to install in order to run the utilities.
