CUCMBE6K UCS Bundle

So, CUCM business edition 6000 is great! It's reasonably simple and easy to quote, so any UC opportunities for sub 1000 should always be BE6K.

There are 2 main elements, the licensing and the hardware, I'll ignore the phone here because you can add them on later depending on the customer environment.

BE6K Licensing Top level Part - R-CBE6K-K9
BE6K UCS Bundle Top level part - BE6K-ST-BDL-K9=

Within the licensing you select the licensing type. UCL or UWL. UWL is usually often preferred due to the included features for the price, see my previous post:

One note on the licensing is that the version of UWL which can be selected is Business edition UWL. Despite having a different name it is functionally the same as Standard UWL, and can be upgraded in the same way as standard to Pro if needed. Professional cannot be purchased from the BE6K top level part.

With the hardware you only need to select the power cable (although consider an extra PSU), the bundle includes all the hardware you need, and specifically it includes all the hardware required to run up to 5 UC applications, CUCM, Unity, CUCM in presence mode (for Jabber), Unified Attendant console (on top of an instance of windows server) and CCX. Attendant console needs to be purchased separately and so does CCX licensing but you get the idea, that's a lot of UC application in one place and one package.


here's a link to a later blog entry which I've written which talks more on it's scalability beyond the 1000 user limit:
