Go to: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Compatibility Information (Index)

The Unified Contact Center Enterprise (CCE) Solution Compatibility Matrix includes all Cisco Unified CCE solution component information, such as Finesse, Cisco Unified Intelligence Center (Unified Intelligence Center), and Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP). This compatibility matrix specifies all supported configurations and versions for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise 11.5(1). The information in this compatibility matrix supersedes compatibility information in any other Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise documentation. If a configuration or version is not stated, that configuration or version is not supported.

Note:

The Compatibility Matrix specifies all supported third-party softwares (like Avaya, Nortel, and VMware) and its versions. Support for these software versions and their interoperability depends on the release cycles (patches and upgrades) of the third-party software. For example, support for ESXi depends on VMware release cycles.

<sup>1. Before you upgrade to Cisco Unified CVP, Release12.0 (1), upgrade VVB to Release 11.6(1) ES84.
2. Unified CCE 11.5 does not support features provided by Release 11.6(x) or later releases, such as Recent Call History and Recent State History reports.</sup>

Notes:

• Upgrade all the solution components to experience the new features delivered as part of a particular solution release version. Upgrading only the component that delivers the new feature may not be sufficient in all cases. 
• Unified CCE Components: The PG (Peripheral Gateway) and CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) server must be at the same major version as the Central Controller.
• Unified CCE Components: During an upgrade, a Central Controller running at 11.5(1) supports Peripheral Gateways running at 11.0(x) and 10.5(x).
• Unified CCE Components: The Peripheral Gateway must be at an equal or higher maintenance release than the CTI server.
• Finesse: New Unified CCE 11.5(1) deployments must use Cisco Finesse. Existing deployments that are upgrading to Unified CCE 11.5(1) must upgrade to Finesse. From Unified CCE 11.5(1) going forward, CAD and CTI OS are no longer supported.
• IdS and Finesse: For configurations using Single Sign-On (SSO), you must upgrade Identity Server (IdS) before you upgrade to Finesse.
• CUIC: While CUIC real time and historical reporting support backward compatibility to Unified CCE, Release 11.5(x), Live Data later than 11.5(1) is not backward compatible. A standalone Live Data server must be at the same version as the Unified CCE central controller to be operational. The standalone Live Data server must be upgraded in the same maintenance window as the Unified CCE central controller.
• CUIC and Finesse: The platform version for Release 11.5 is 11.5.0 (FCS) (CCM_FREEZE_11_5_0_99837_2_CCT).
• Finesse and Live Data: The live-data gadget in the Finesse 11.6(1) layout does not work with Live Data 11.5(1) (standalone or co-resident with CUIC).
• SocialMiner: SocialMiner must be at the same version as the Peripheral Gateway. There is no forward or backward compatibility.
• ECE: Cisco Email Interaction Manager and Web Interaction Manager (EIM-WIM) is no longer supported. Enterprise Chat and Email (ECE) is supported. To install ECE, see the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide.
• MediaSense: Starting with version UC 11.0(x), MediaSense connects to Finesse resulting in a compatibility dependency among MediaSense, Unified Communications Manager, and Finesse. For MediaSense compatibility information, see the Cisco MediaSense Compatibilty Matrix.
• For more information on upgrade paths, see the Unified CCE Contact Center Upgrade Flowcharts in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Additional Notes:

• All Gateways in the above table support inbound contact center calls and Call Progress Analysis (CPA) for Outbound Option with TDM Trunks.
• For Video Contact Center, IOS 15.3(3)M3 or later version in the same train is required.
• For IPv6-enabled deployments, the supported IOS versions for NAT64 translations are 15.4(2)T3 and later releases.
• Multi-VRF requires IOS XE 16.3.3 to support Hosted Collaboration Solution for Contact Center.
• Unified CVP supports the listed IOS release trains and their later M or T trains respectively. For example, gateways supporting 15.1(4)M3 will also support 15.1(4)M4 and 15.1(4)M7, but not 15.1(4)M1 and 15.1(4)M2.
• Unified CVP supports SHA-256.

IOS Versioning Key, using 15.1(4)M3 and 15.1(4)T1 as examples:

• 15.1 is the version number.
• (4) is the release number.
• M3 and T1 are the train release numbers. M is the mainline train and T is the technology train.
• An increment in the release number after M or T refers to additional bug fixes.

Load Balancers (top)

These Cisco components support third-party load balancers in redirect mode and Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) 4710 Appliance Series with Software version A4(2.0). Cisco ACE is for upgrades only, as explained in Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine.

• Unified CCE
• Unified CVP
• Unified Intelligence Center
• Finesse
• MediaSense
• SocialMiner
• Enterprise Chat and Email
• Remote Expert Mobile

Third-party load balancers must meet these requirements:

• Both SSL offloading and SSL pass through must be supported
• Load Balancer High Availability
• Session stickiness should not be mandatory
• Persistence - cookie-insert
• Distribution algorithm - Round-robin

See these documents for the interoperability notes and any known caveats of F5 Big-IP and Citrix NetScalar 1000v:

• Using F5 BIG-IP® traffic management and load balancing in a Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal Solution.
• Using Citrix NetScaler 1000v® traffic management and load balancing in a Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal Solution.

Note: For specific interfaces where you can use load balancers in your deployment, see the Cisco Design Guide for the UCCE component.
