<div>
<div>I'd have to agree with Dennis, and not just because we work at the same company. :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, bandwidth is cheap, Erick. However, experience has shown that a branch office running a few bonded T1s or T3s isn't going to be as reliable as a customers data center LAN. If you put a subscriber out at a remote site, running on an ISR G2, can you
image the impact of that site's circuit was flapping over a few days (carriers aren't always the quickest to dispatch)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would rather keep my CUCM servers in 1-2 data centers with some sort of other resilient data connection in between. If one of the branches has a circuit flap issue, only that branch is affected, not the entire environment.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Scalability is another thing. Unless you setup a supercluster, you're not going to get past the eight subscriber limitation in CUCM. You're going to wind up with some sites running off a remote CUCM anyway.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Last thing… Cisco is extremely strict regarding the hardware requirements for virtualized UC servers. I can't imagine them ever approving an ESXi-based UC solution running off a service module. Even the SRE-910SM falls short with a Intel Core Duo, 1.86
Ghz and 8GB of RAM. Such a setup would only potentially be able to support a single UC virtualized application.</div>

<br>
I'm seeing a lot of B-series at the data center and a C-series at a remote site or DR. Otherwise, a second chassis isn't *too* expensive. The bulk of the cost is in the blades and the 6100s. You still need power supplies, IO, chassis, but it's not too bad.
Seeing a decent amount of 2nd chassis as well. A lot of the DC types that are putting their blades in there as well help offset the cost.<br>
