Call processing with one cisco BE6000

[Akaffou Aristide Akaffou]

Hi guys,

I have a question to ask. I got to deploy VOIP for my customer. In the architecture I have 3 sites:

- One CME 2951 srst which become the voice gateway and one Cisco BE6000 on a Headquater.

- A srst cme for each of the two remaining sites.

Can we have just one Cisco BE6000 which will manage call processing for the 3 sites?

Regards,

Aristide

Hi Aristide,

As long as you stay within the limits of supported endpoints , users and sites as mentioned in the BE6000 datasheet it should be fine.

Do check the bandwidth and latency requirements for remote sites in the SRND for cucm 10.x for additional details.

Hi Manish,

Thanks for your reply. I have just 150 endpoints which is spread over the 3 sites. 

So I don't need to have cisco BE6000 in cluster mode?

That's correct, you don't need an additional server for this setup.

BE6000 is just a marketing bundle with some limitations built into it about the licensing. You can easily scale the bundle upto 1000 users (although there are some h/w restrictions, please check with your local Cisco AM)

Here is the datasheet for the BE6k

Thanks Samuel,

Concerning the licensing, I have a knowledge about it. I have just 150 endpoints, according to information that I have, I can use one BE6000 for the 3 sites. Is it correct?
