UC application compatibility on UCS C-Series

[brian.k.clarke]

Hello - a customer is considering the deployment of Cisco C-Series UCS servers (M2) for virtualization of their UC server (2x Comm. Mgr, 1x Unity Connection, for now).  These servers support four (4) virtual machines, so what I need to validate is whether there are any "support" issues with running other, non-Cisco, non-UC servers (Windows/Linux) on the same C-series servers alongside the UC apps.  (For example: CM, Unity Connection, CallRex call recording and a Windows SQL server, all on the same C-Series - does Cisco not support this configuration?)

Thank you

Cisco does not support co-residency at this time for third-party applications.

At this time there is no support for co-residency with non-Unified Communications Cisco applications, nor with third-party applications.
