Nutanix and Cisco UC

[Chi Fai Leung]

Is it Cisco UC officially support  the Nutanix server? Any Benefits to use Nutanix server on Cisco UC?

Yes, Cisco UC is supported on Nutanix!

Cisco's supported hardware platforms for Unified Communications are all laid out in the DocWiki.

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware

Nutanix falls under the "3rd party specifications based" platform. There is a Nutanix Best Practice Guide for installing Cisco UC on Nutanix that illustrates all of the Docwiki requirements and how Nutanix meets them, as well as how to design your deployment with Nutanix.

Check out all of the Nutanix resources here:

I hope this info is helpful! Let me know if you have any questions about the specific details.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your information!
Would you mind any benefits on Nutanix server, instead of UCS server for UC?

Just adding a note to this very old thread. Yes, you can run Cisco Unified Communications on Nutanix AOS with the ESXi hypervisor. It's not supported today to run Cisco Unified Communications on Nutanix AOS with AHV as the hypervisor. If you'd like this support, please reach out to your Cisco account team to request this validation.

Is there any road map to support OpenShift virtualization?
