Unity connection for auto-attendant and required hardware

[kasper123]

Hi,

One of my customers has CUCM 8 and would like an auto-attendant feature (like press "1" for service, press "2" for sales etc).

From the information I found for this feature they need Unity connection. Since they don't need voicemail they can just buy one license and use the Unity just for auto-attendant.

They have VMWare but would like to know what would cost to have this run on a dedicated server.

So my question is what is the minimum hardware (server) that they can run Unity 9 on for this purpose.

Regards.

Hi there,

If it were me I would encourage them to go virtual but the supported

hardware platforms are listed here.

Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html

You will need to look at the overlay numbers to determine what fits their needs.

I believe that CUCM 10.x will only be supported on VM builds and Unity Connection

may be the same that's why I would try to get them to use VMware

Cheers!

Hi Rob,

So from the link you provided what they would need is one MCS-7825-I5-IPC1 server?

Regards.

Hi there,

Yes, the 7825-I5 would work but keep in mind that it has been

announced as End of Life so it's not the best investment
