well cisco has provided a baseline, now depending on you needs, budget and support with technical skills.

you have not stated your exact needs, I seen labs that support 4 5 CCM group with redundancy

running 2600xm routers at least using 3500 also

running CME, unity with vmware and IPCC in a external MCS sserver

REDUNDANCY is a required for CCIE voice And real world networks.

you have to evaluate this, you can use miniumum one CM connected to your switch and one router for each group, you can use the same switch for multiple groups (vlans) and have each group you create connected via serial ports( Frame relay, MPLS ...) THIS IS WHAT i HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
