Migration from on Prem to Cloud

[ngsl]

Hi fellow experts

As i'm very new to this platform, would need your expertise.

I'm currently running on ucum 8.0 and would like to migrate to latest version while keeping my IP phones.

What are the options and steps available to migrate from  cisco on prem to cloud on the backend? 

Many thanks!

You really need to engage your Cisco AM, SE, and chosen partner here. There are future-looking details that cannot be discussed outside of an NDA.

At this time, your only option would be Cisco HCS which is the same applications (eg CUCM and CUC) but hosted and maintained by a provider. They attach to your existing WAN and advertise prefixes for the infrastructure. There are several significant advantages to this approach: same products typically mean no loss of functionality - even SRST still works. The downside to this is the cost structure has traditionally struggled to work below about 500 phones, though the HCS-SA approach may help with this.

The other Cisco options are built on Broadsoft-acquired technology but there is not currently a mechanism for converting phones from “enterprise” firmware for CUCM/CME to the MPP firmware.
