CISCO CUCM 8.6 OVA UPGRADE

For those who have not upgraded their deployments in quite sometime, you will not only have to upgrade servers, but twill also have to migrate to virtualized environments. With CUCM Version 10 CISCO has migrated exclusively to virtualized servers, eliminating bare metal installs completely. Upgrades require very careful planning and preparation before setting the all important вЂњmaintenance windowвЂќ and the notification of the end user group.

There is no easy way to approach this, it is hard work and it must be done. The configuration management and cross referencing of O/S versions and application compatibility, including desktop software can become a major research project in and of itself.

This is a long way from the standard single line touch tone telephone that dominated the landscape when we first entered the industry.Дepending on the size your your deployment you will have several servers to upgrade, some may even be across time zones that span the country if not the globe. Folks want to use their iPhones, Androids, tablets, laptops and a variety of other endpoints both software and hard! Collaboration requirements are more than just voice! Folks want to chat and IM, hold Web meetings and Video conference. The technology for VoIP solutions has become increasingly more complex with many touch points that are outside the base communications systems. Upgrading collaboration solutions like ShoreTel or CISCO has always been a challenge for system administrators.
