You don't want to go with MCS, you should be looking into a UCS or 3rd party spec based servers.

Dear Jaime,

Many thanks for your update but we want to use 7.1.5 CUCM for our business because its using one of our client is using 7.1.5 which suitable for us and there is MSC server not UCS I know UCS is good for future upgrade and advance technology but we want to use 7.1.5 could u please tell me what kind of hardware specification for MCS server for 3000 users..

If this is a separate deployment, why do you care what one of your clients is using? You should go with latest software and hardware and not 5 year old software and discontinued hardware.

HTH.

Good luck with that, all the MCSs have been sold out, you probably can find an used server.

You would need a 7845 series.

And this note from the doc linked above;
