Virtualization of VCS

Hi

Does anyone know if Cisco are still offering free virtualization for VCS and TMS? Our supplier seems unable to confirm.

 

Thanks Helen

VCS or now Expressway is an included software package with any CUWL or Flex Collab licensing. I believe TMS is included with purchasing of a telepresence room license.

While the two (VCS and Expressway) are essentialy the same software, they require different licencing and option keys to change them to the model required (VCS-Control, VCS-Expressway, Expressway-Core, Expressway-Edge).

"Expressway" is for sites who have a CUCM - many of the older Video only sites used the original VCS platform and don't have a CUCM.  In these sites, the "VCS" is not the same as an "Expressway", and has different licencing requirements - the CUWL or Flex licencing won't help, and there is no room licences included for TMS - the TMS licences are also separately purchased.

Yes, you can still purchase the $0 SKU to migrate from a Physical VCS to a Virtual one.

The part numbers are:

R-VMVCS-C-M-K9 For HW Migration to E-Delivery Virtual VCS Control Only

R-VMVCS-E-M-K9 For HW Migration to E-Delivery Virtual VCS Expressway Only
