Virtualization for Unified Contact Center Enterprise

Virtualization details below specify the supported third-party software (like 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.

Notes:

  • Version refers to the major ESXi release (for example, 7.0, 8.0), while updates are incremental changes to these major ESXi versions (for example, 8.0U1, 8.0U1a). The specified version or update indicates the minimum supported version or update required for that release. For more information, refer to Required ESXi version.

  • If no deployment type is explicitly mentioned in a row, it indicates that the VM configuration requirement applies to all deployment types. For example, the VM configuration requirements for a medium PG apply to all deployment types.

  • "Rogger" denotes the combined Router and Logger services that operate within the same VM in 2000 Agent and 4000 Agent deployments. In contrast, for 12000 Agents or larger deployments, Router and Logger services are hosted on separate dedicated VMs.

  • Some CCE components, like Rogger, Logger, and Administration DataServers, require an additional virtual disk (indicated with an asterisk in the table above). This disk is essential to accomodate the database drive and is not provisioned automatically by the OVA template.

    For more information on the minimum disk size, see the Allocate a Second Virtual Hard Drive topic in the Preinstallation chapter of the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide, Release 15.0(1). You can custom size the SQL database disk drive space to meet data retention requirements, as calculated by the Database Estimator tool.

  • For VM configuration values for CUIC-LD-IdS (coresident) supported in 2000 Agent deployments, see the Virtualization for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center page.
