Product Migration Options
For new servers, customers are encouraged to migrate to either the Cisco 7816-I5 and 7825-I5 Media Convergence Servers, or a virtualized solution. Information about the 7816-I5 and 7825-I5 Media Convergence Servers an be found at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/voiceapp/ps378/products_data_sheets_list.html. Information on virtualized solutions can be found at http://www.cisco.com/go/uc-virtualized. For hard drive and memory upgrades on older servers, customers are directed to either procure these parts direct from IBM (using part numbers at http://www.cisco.com/go/swonly) or migrate to the newer Cisco 7816-I5 and 7825-I5 Media Convergence Servers.
Customers may be able to use the Cisco Technology Migration Program (TMP) where applicable to trade-in eligible products and receive credit toward the purchase of new Cisco equipment. For more information about Cisco TMP, customers should work with their Cisco Partner or Cisco account team. Cisco Partners can find additional TMP information on Partner Central at http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/incentives_and_promotions/tmp.html.
Customers may be able to continue to purchase the Cisco MCS 7816-I4 and MCS 7825-I4 through the Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment program. Refurbished units may be available in limited supply for sale in certain countries on a first-come, first-served basis until the Last Date of Support has been reached.
