Presence deployment on 'third party specs-based' VM platform & integration with other UC apps on MCS hw

[jeanie.embry]

I have a client who's currently running UCM ver 9.1.1 on MCS hw .. each for Call Mgr., UCxn, CCX.. they want to add Presence & IM on their own VM hardware and infrastructure.. on 'third party specs-based' platform.  Besides complying with VM hw compatibility list and supported CPU..Would full Presence features be available or only chat/ IM?  Has anyone had deployment experience with hybrid integration of  UCM apps on separate MCS hw and introducing Presence on VM platform ?  Client just purchased new MCS hw 2-yrs ago.  I'm assuming ISO file for Presence available for download without additional cost for actual media/ software; is that also true?

As long as the HW is supported, there is no limitation on what you get out of the product.

If they have verified their VM infrastructure complies to the Cisco requirements, and it does, whether the other apps are on MCS, UCS, 3rd party specs, etc. makes no difference at all.
