Coresidency Inclusions
Coresident means “running different Collaboration applications in dedicated virtual machines on the same virtualized Business Edition physical server or host”.
In addition to Cisco Unified Communications (UC) applications that are sold with Cisco Business Edition 6000 (BE6000M, BE6000H, and BE6000S) and Cisco Business Edition 7000 (BE7000M and BE7000H), Cisco also allows the installation of a broader range of Cisco and third-party virtualized applications, subject to the conditions that are detailed in this document.
This policy applies to all new and previously supplied BE6000S, BE6000M, BE6000H, BE7000M, and BE7000H appliances with embedded virtualization software licenses (Cisco UC Virtualization Hypervisor, Cisco UC VirtualizationHypervisor Plus, Cisco UC Virtualization Foundation or Cisco Collaboration Virtualization Standard) and any nonappliance generic Cisco UCS server running a permitted embedded virtualization software license (older releases of Cisc UC Virtualization Standard).

Non-Business Edition applications are allowed if all rules in this document are followed. Cisco TAC support is only for products that are purchased from Cisco with a valid, active maintenance contract. Refer to the Non-Business Edition Applications.
Not all UC applications support coresidency, or they may have limited support of coresidency. See each product's page on the www.cisco.com/go/uc-virtualized for its coresidency policy.
All other general UC virtualization rules apply; for example, VMware feature support and supported ESXi versions. For more information, see the www.cisco.com/go/uc-virtualized.

Cisco only supports the Core Business Edition applications listed above for BE6000S appliances. No other applications (either Cisco or third party) are supported with BE6000S currently, even if other virtualization software licenses are substituted.
Non-Business Edition Applications
In a BE6000 or BE7000 deployment with one physical server, up to three third-party virtual machines may run on the server. For larger deployments, a maximum of three times the number of physical servers is permitted. The allowed quantity of third-party virtual machines can be deployed across physical servers in any combination. For example, with two physical servers, the six virtual machines can be distributed evenly across both, all, or one physical server.
-
Other Cisco Collaboration applications that are listed at www.cisco.com/go/virtualized-collaboration (such as MediaSense) that are not explicitly listed as part of the BE6000 or BE7000 solutions. This includes Microsoft Windows, SQL Server, or ActiveDirectory dedicated to a Cisco application (such as Unified Contact Center Enterprise, TelePresence Media Server, or Spark Hybrid Service connectors).
-
Virtualized third-party applications that are included in the Solution Partner Program (SPP), formerly known as Cisco Developer Network (CDN) Marketplace Solutions Catalog for Collaboration. A list of all permitted third-party Collaboration applications can be found here. Select Technology = Collaboration.
Note
You may only use third-party applications from the Collaboration category with the Business Edition embedded Hypervisor licenses.
-
Virtualized third-party applications that are offered through the Cisco SolutionsPlus Program and complementary to Collaboration are described at the http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/pr46/solutions_plus/index.html.

For more details on supported Non-Business Edition applications, see the application links in the “At a Glance - Cisco Collaboration Virtualization Support” table at www.cisco.com/go/virtualized-collaboration.
For permitted third-party applications, there is a maximum number of virtual machines that are allowed in a BE6000, BE7000, and Cisco UCS server deployments running an embedded virtualization license (Cisco UC Virtualization Hypervisor, Cisco UC Virtualization Hypervisor Plus, Cisco UC Virtualization Foundation or Cisco Collaboration Virtualization Standard).
All non-Business Edition applications must be qualified to run virtualized on VMware and must align with the virtualization software requirements for Cisco Collaboration that are outlined at the http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-software-requirements.html.
