Solved: Where to download UC Manager 6.0 Business? (Mid size business)

news2010a · ‎08-07-2008

Folks, I am interested in downloading and playing with the demo UC Manager for a mid size company (less than 500 employees).

I followed the link below and I was able to find a number of UC downloads. However, it says UC Manager Express, but I do not see exactly where is the software which is the combined UC+Unity. Can someone point out the download link for such UC Manager 6.0 Business Edition? Thanks.

Marlon,

You will need to get a copy of the DVD, what is on CCO are just upgrade files.

You can also get a VMWare copy from Cisco Marketplace but the price of that is US$547:

Or, if your company has a software upgrade contract, you can request the installation media through the PUT tool:

Hope this helps!

Ah, thanks. I thought that was too good to be true.

Tell me, if I currently have the UC Manager 6.0 .iso and Unity 5.0 on separate .iso images (for large enterprise), do you know if these are very much different than the UC manager 6.0 Business edition?

Marlon,

CUCM-BE is CallManager 6.X and Unity Connection 2.X on the same box (Linux) while Unity 5.X is a different product (Windows); Unity depends and relies on AD / Exchange while Unity Connection has its own way to do things, CUC can be integrated with AD/Exchange/Outlook but do not depend on the availability of such components as Unity 5.X.

In addition, please notice that the CallManager 6.X installation media contains the CallManager, Unity Connection and BE; it will install one or the other depending on the hardware (for instance, if you insert the disk on a 7828 server it will install BE, if you insert the disk on an IPC1 server it will install CCM, if you insert it into a IPC1/UCA1 server it will ask you if you would like to install either CCM or CUC.

Have a nice day!!
