<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all ,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking to upgrade from UCX 7.1.x to 8.6 </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand our 7815-i3 is not supported on 8.x </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can’t work out exactly what the best replacement is, </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The MCS’s listed here </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are all EOL with IBM .</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="pb1body1">Is the UCS-C210M2 suitable for a non-virtualised platform? </p>
<p class="pb1body1">Alternatively I also want to investigate virtualising this server and an old 7816 running CUCM 7.1 going to 8.6 and the above server on one platform.</p>
<p class="pb1body1"> </p>
<p class="pb1body1">We have les than 150 handsets and less than 100 mailboxes.</p>
<p class="pb1body1">Anyone gone through this?</p>
