<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">In these times of shrinking budgets, I
was wondering if anyone is using a non-Cisco approved server for the
CUCM? </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Cisco and HP created a part number, 470064-887,
which is equivalent to the MCS 7845H2. It’s still available from HP
but it looks like it has a discontinued CPU(5140) and the RAID controller is a
P400/256 instead of a P400/512. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">I received a quote for a HP DL-380 G5
server that has a newer CPU and RAID controller that is almost half the price
of the Cisco “approved” configuration.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">I’m pretty sure the CUCM would run
fine, in fact we’re running a 5 server cluster on HP DL-380 G5 servers
using the E5345 CPU’s in our test lab but I wanted to see if anyone has
encountered any problems.</span></font></p>
