CUCM BoQ for 250 users

[techguy]

Hi,

I have one site consisting of 250 users and 2 sites. Regardless of geographical location, what is the best practice of design.

I mean to say, Shall we go for server based solution or router based solution.

and what other parameters do we need to consider. Anyone who can share BoQ or give me suggestion. Thanks

Hi,

CME would be a good solution if the number of users are not going to increase much beyond 250. Please check the following guide for benefits and design considerations for single site as well as distributed CME deployments

However, you may require server based solution like a BE6K depending upon your application and feature requirements. Please check the following datasheet for BE6K

You need to look at not only how many users but also the features that are required...you may consider a Business Edition solution as well.  In short, the best practice will depend on your solution requirements.
