Truth be told, the stability is there to just virtualize 100% and forget about it. I'm at the point with my client base where essentially 100% of new projects are either greenfield on VMware/UCS or technology refreshes. This is clients across all verticals and sizes, ranging from ~200 seat retail call centers to 10K+ seat IPT and 5K+ seat UCCE implementations in the finance/insurance space.<br clear="all">

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a customer where we recently deployed a CUCM solution, They are running CUCM 8.5.1 on two MCS7825 I4 servers. This deployment is no more than a year old, 14 months tops. Now they are looking to virtualize their DC servers and deploy
a DRS DC on one of their remote locations, It is too soon to change out those servers but I was wondering if it is possible to deploy a second subscriber which would run on one of the UCS servers or chassis they acquire. Can you have such a hybrid layout.
I’m sure TAC will probably won’t support but this would be a better option than having them split the SUB/PUB via a 10MB WAN link that they have to the site.<u></u><u></u></p>
