looking at upgrading to CCM 5.1 and changing our server hardware at the same
time. When we implemented our Cisco IPT solution about 3.5 years ago, we
used 2-port, 48-channel network modules (NM-HDV-2T1-48) and VG200 gateways
(CAG-VG200) for connectivity in front of our CallManagers. Now, we can get
this functionality out of a Cisco 2821 ISR with the voice modules. Our VAR
is pushing this upgrade for performance, but I would like to hear some other
opinions. Is this worth it (I know Cisco has placed the VG-200 at
"end-of-sale" and support will go away in a couple years)? Are there other
advantages or disadvantages to consider?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
