PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS
The recommended replacement for the Cisco MCS 7865I-1500 is the Cisco MCS 7845-I1 or the Cisco MCS 7845-H1.
The new Cisco MCS 7845-I1 and Cisco MCS 7845-H1 media convergence servers have two Xeon 3.4 GHz processors with an 800 MHz front side bus and 4 GB RAM in a 2-rack unit (2RU) form factor. These servers offer a more space-efficient and cost-effective server while still supporting the same number of Cisco Unity™ ports and voice-mail boxes as the Cisco MCS 7865I-1500 servers they replace. (Refer to Table 3.)
