Multiple locations? IP address change?  I can't remember if the certificate would need to be wiped using the pre8 parameter if the platform changes.

Whats the outage window look like? Overnight or all weekend?  5k US would be on the low end...7,500 to 10k would be about right.

I guess it depends on the size of the environment and does it involve an upgrade at the same time.. I can tell you it takes me about 24 total hours of work usually 3 business days to do a start to finish Physical to Virtual migration of something physical to a BE6K environment. This is with CUCM and UCXN only and always involves an upgrade to 9x/10x. If you are already on 8 or 9 and don't want to upgrade and just DRS restore it'd be less time.

These are small 100-300 users installs.

So just checking with people, what is an estimated cost to have an outside company virtualize your environment? (Just to show up and do the work, company already has the UC Chassis)

$5,000 or more? Any companies that have paid someone to do this type of work want to share?

My boss asked me how much money we are saving doing this work ourselves.
