Cisco Agent Desktop Component Sizing
Cisco Agent Desktop Component Sizing
For details on the components and architecture of the Cisco Agent Desktop, see 
.
Server capacities for the Cisco Agent Desktop CTI Option vary based on the total number of agents, 
whether or not Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) monitoring and recording is used, and the number of 
simultaneous recordings.
This section presents sizing guidelines for the following installable Cisco Agent Desktop Server 
components:

Cisco Agent Desktop Base Services
The Cisco Agent Desktop Base Services consist of a set of application servers that run as Microsoft 
Windows services. They include Chat Service, Directory Services, Enterprise Service, Unified IP Phone 
Agent Service, LDAP Monitor Service, Licensing and Resource Manager Service, Recording and 
Statistics Service, and Sync Service. In addition, there are application servers that may be placed on the 
same or separate computers as the Base Servers. These additional applications include the VoIP Monitor 
Service and the Recording and Playback Service. 
A set of Cisco Agent Desktop Base Services plus the additional application servers, single or redundant 
installation, correspond to a logical call center (LCC) and are associated with a PG pair. 
 lists 
the maximum number of agents that a single LCC can support for various sizes of enterprises. To support 
more agents than shown, you can add additional CAD service (LCC) installations and PG pairs. 
 
Cisco Agent Desktop VoIP Monitor Service
The VoIP Monitor Service enables the silent monitoring and recording features. For Desktop 
Monitoring, the VoIP Monitor Service has no impact on design guidance for Agent PG scalability. When 
using Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) monitoring, the VoIP Monitor Service may be co-located on the 
Agent PG for up to 100 agent phones. When SPAN monitoring and recording are required for more than 
100 phones, the VoIP Monitor Service must be deployed on a dedicated server (an MCS-30-003-Class 
server or equivalent). Each dedicated VoIP Monitor Service can support up to 400 phones if a 
100 Megabit NIC is used to connect to the switch, or 1,000 phones if a Gigabit NIC is used.
