Current virtualization support is "Cisco Unified Communications on Cisco Unified Computing System", or [http://www.cisco.com/go/uconucs "UC on UCS" ].  It is the combination of Cisco Collaboration with Cisco Data Center 3.0 to provide improved business agility and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) through server consolidation, operational efficiency and scale, improved business continuity, and greater investment leverage.

Use the following as a "workflow" to arrive at a design.
 +
 
 +
*Start with sizing the UC apps by using the following links. This will determine which Collaboration apps you need, compatible versions and for each app how many UC virtual machines are needed and which virtual machine configurations to use.

*Next, determine your virtual machine placement by using the following links. This will determine how many physical servers you need and which VMs will go on which physical servers.
 +
 
 +
:*For a "wizard" approach, use the [http://www.cisco.com/go/vmpt Cisco Collaboration Virtual Machine Placement Tool] (remember to read the caveats of what this tool does NOT do for you).

:::*Allowed co-residency policies of applications that you want to share a physical server
 +
:::*Virtual-to-Physical sizing rules for each app

*Next, pick the virtualization software (vendor, product, version, license option) using the following links.
 +
 
 +
:*[[Unified Communications VMware Requirements]]
 +
:*Remember to verify all UC app VMs sharing a physical server can support the same version.
 +
 
 +
*Next, use the following links to see if you have any network considerations for LAN, QoS or storage access, or any DAS/NAS/SAN storage hardware design considerations.

Table of Virtualization Support by Collaboration Product

The table below is for convenience and is a snapshot summary only. When in doubt or if there is a conflict, check the product details page by clicking on the product name.

For a given application, this table only summarizes the indicated version (which is usually the latest version in a Unified Communications System Release Set ). 
For older versions or unlisted versions, check the product details page by clicking on the product name.


Caution Caution: Virtualized deployments of Cisco Collaboration must align with the criteria described in this wiki space to be TAC-supported. For other TAC support details, see Implement/Operate Info.
