Hi,

you need to go for Virtualization  on CUCM 10.x, if not using .

You can either use PCD for migration

or refer the discussion https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12449106/cucm-85-105-refresh-upgrade

You need to place the order through PUT to get the CUCM bootable/PCD.

You can opt for BE6000[if users are less than 1000] or BE7K for 1000+users.

For BE7K, UCS C 240  and UCS C220 for BE6K solution .Both the servers come pre-installed with applications.

You need to change the Hardware and go for virtualization.
