Cisco Unified Communications on the Cisco Unified
Computing System

Cisco has introduced software application versions from the Cisco

Unified Communications portfolio (Versions

8.0(2) and later) that are supported for production use on specific configurations of VMware vSphere (ESXi), Cisco

Unified Communications Virtualization Foundation, Cisco Unified Computing System

™

(Cisco UCS

™

) servers, and

various storage configurations:

●

Tested reference configurations are provided for the following servers and described as follows:

◦

Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers with third-party Fibre Channel SAN-attached disk arrays are

supported (including diskless servers for VMware “boot from SAN” option).

◦

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers with a specific configuration of either direct attached storage

(DAS) or Fibre Channel SAN is supported (including a diskless server for VMware “boot from SAN”

option).

●

Other server and storage options are available via an alternative support model called “specifications-

based VMware support.

●

Refer to

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware

for additional details on UC

on UCS Tested Reference Configurations and UC on UCS Specifications-based Support, including

supported applications for each model.

●

VMware vSphere ESXi or Cisco Unified Communications Virtualization Foundation software is required for

all of these servers. For available applications, refer to

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Supported_Applications

. Refer to

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements

for details about supported

virtualization software products, versions and features.

●

Application co-residency is also supported; refer to

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Sizing_Guidelines#Application_Co-

residency_Support_Policy

for details.

Cisco Unified Communications applications require use of VMware vSphere (ESXi) or Cisco Unified

Communications Virtualization Foundation to support Cisco Unified Computing System hardware. No applications

run or install directly on the server hardware; all applications run only as virtual machines. Cisco Unified

Communications does not support a physical, bare-metal, or nonvirtualized installation on this server hardware.

Cisco Unified Computing System configurations for Cisco Unified Communications must follow the criteria listed at

http://www.cisco.com/go/uc-virtualized

to be supported, including hardware configuration rules and specific

minimum versions of Cisco Unified Communications applications.

Server part numbers are ordered independent of the Cisco Unified Communications applications and virtualization

software.
