Notes on UCS Tested Reference Configuration and Specs-based Support

(top)

The EOS notice for the Cisco Business Edition 7000M server does not apply to the C220M3SFF TRC (SKU: UCUCS-EZ-C220M3S) or C240M3S TRC #1 (SKU: UCUCS-EZ-C240M3S. The C220M3SFF TRC and C240M3S TRC #1 will continue to be sold until these M3 TRC servers are EOS.

When the hardware support is specified as "Yes (See details)", the following exceptions exist, as applicable to the TRC or Specs-based policy referenced:

  • The UCS M4 generation of C series servers is supported for use with any version of the Unified Email Interaction Manager - Web Interaction Manager application where the UCS M3 TRCs are supported as long as the firmware 2.0(9c) and later applied on the UCS C M4 series.
  • Unified Email Interaction Manager - Web Interaction Manager applications that include a Microsoft SQL Server installation do not support installation on the UCS C210 M1 TRC#1.


IOPS and Storage System Performance Requirements

(top)

CPU usage (average) should not exceed 60% for the ESXi Server and for each of the individual processors, and for each VM. Memory usage (average) should not exceed 80% for the ESXi Server and for each of the VMs. VM snapshots are not supported in production since they have significant impact on system performance.

Here are some representative performance counters from tests conducted in our labs.

Email

The data is collected from the test run of 1500 users with emails being processed at a rate of 5 emails per hour per agent.
