This case study describes how Cisco IT migrated from a Cisco Unity® voicemail solution, running on Cisco® 7800 Series Media Convergence Servers, to Cisco Unity Connection, running on Cisco Unified Computing™ System (UCS) servers. Virtualization was a factor as Cisco IT considered upgrading its Cisco Unity voicemail system to support more than 87,000 user mailboxes, take advantage of new user features, and reduce the number and costs of voicemail servers. Today, Cisco has implemented Cisco Unity Connection on 16 networked nodes, using 32 active-active virtual servers, the maximum system configuration.By migrating to Cisco Unity Connection and Cisco UCS at the same time, Cisco IT was able to simplify the upgrade process and capture cost savings, especially for server replacement.
