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 | Ensure that the Cisco Business Edition server is rack-mounted and connected to power and data networks as illustrated in the Quick Start Guide (QSG), that is shipped with the server. Also ensure that a monitor and keyboard are connected to the server. |
Before you proceed with installation, collect the network information from the data network administrator.
This deployment option offers you the benefit of factory installed applications that include most common configurations for the above applications. The preconfigured applications are completely installed with default network credentials and system settings. The applications are fully integrated and significantly minimize the time and effort required to set up the system.
For more information about deploying from the pre-configured application virtual machines, see the Preconfigured Option Reference Guide at the following location: http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/BE6000/Reference_Guides/10_6/BE6000_Preconfigured_10_6.pdf.
This method allows you to install applications from the scratch. Unlike the deploy using preconfigured virtual machines method, this method allows you to customize the applications completely with the required network credentials and system settings. To install applications using this method, follow the rest of this document carefully.
Collect the following network information from the data network administrator:
The next sections list the steps to install a BE6000 server. After collecting the required network information, follow the rest of the document carefully.
BE6000H: Supports nine collaboration application options in a single virtualized server platform; maximum capacity of 1000 users, 2500 devices, and 100 contact center agents. Ideal for medium to large-scale end-to-end collaboration deployments (See Figure 1).
BE6000M: Supports five collaboration application options in a single virtualized server platform; maximum capacity of 1000 users, 1200 devices, and 100 contact center agents. Ideal for medium-scale end-to-end collaboration deployments.
BE6000S: Supports five fixed collaboration applications in a single integrated router/gateway/virtualized blade server platform; maximum capacity of 150 users and 300 devices. Ideal for small-scale "office in a box" collaboration deployments (See Figure 2).
The servers are delivered ready for use, with a preinstalled virtualization hypervisor and ten preloaded applications.
