The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

Note |
Co-residency with vCenter is supported with 50 and 250 System deployments only. Co-residency with Cisco Unified Communications products on the same physical host is not supported. |
This is a schematic diagram of a 50 user system. The diagram illustrates two versions of a 50 user deployment. If you plan to add an HA system, those virtual machines are shown as the "redundant" virtual machines. If you do not want HA, then only deploy the primary system.
The following table lists the recommendations for your system.
Virtual Machines on Host (Physical Server) | CPU Cores | Memory (GB) | Ethernet Ports | Hard Drive |
---|---|---|---|---|
Admin | 4 | 26 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM | |
Admin and vCenter (co-resident) | 8 | 36 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM | |
IRP | 4 | 20 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM | |
Admin and IRP (co-resident) | 8 | 40 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM | |
Admin and IRP and vCenter (all co-resident) | 12 (2 x 6-core processors) | 42 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM |
Note |
If you plan to use an HA system, purchase the same hardware requirements and quantities as the primary system. |
This is a schematic diagram of a 250 user system. If you plan to add an HA system, those virtual machines are shown as the "redundant" virtual machines. If you do not want HA, then only deploy the primary system.
The following table lists the recommendations for your system.
Virtual Machines on Host (Physical Server) | CPU Cores | Memory (GB) | Ethernet Ports | Hard Drive |
---|---|---|---|---|
Admin and media | 12 | 56 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM | |
(Admin and media) and vCenter (co-resident) | 16 (2 x 8-core processors, 2 unused) | 56 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM | |
IRP | 12 (4 cores reserved) | 36 | 1 TB; 7200 RPM |
Note |
If you plan to use an HA system, purchase the same hardware requirements and quantities as the primary system. |
This is a schematic diagram of an 800 user system. If you plan to add a HA system, those virtual machines are shown as the "redundant" virtual machines. If you do not want HA, then only deploy the primary system.
The following table lists the recommendations for your system.
Virtual Machines on Host (Physical Server) | CPU Cores | Memory (GB) | Ethernet Ports | Hard Drive |
---|---|---|---|---|
Admin and media (combined) | 40 | 80 | 1 TB; 10,000 RPM | |
IRP | 40 | 36 | 1 TB; 10,000 RPM |

The numbers in the table below represent the design capacity for the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server system. Operating the system at a capacity higher than these specifications can result in a degraded user experience and may result in system instability. Cisco reserves the right to enforce capacity limits at these levels.
