CHAPTER<br />

Sizing <strong>Unified</strong> CCE Components and Servers<br />

<strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> <strong>Contact</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>Enterprise</strong> 7.x SRND<br />

9<br />

Proper sizing of your <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> <strong>Contact</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>Enterprise</strong> (<strong>Unified</strong> CCE) solution is important for<br />

optimum system performance and scalability. Sizing considerations include the number of agents the<br />

solution can support, the maximum busy hour call attempts (BHCA), and other variables that affect the<br />

number, type, and configuration of servers required to support the deployment. Regardless of the<br />

deployment model chosen, <strong>Unified</strong> CCE is based on a highly distributed architecture, and questions<br />

about capacity, performance, and scalability apply to each element within the solution as well as to the<br />

overall solution.<br />

This chapter presents best design practices focusing on scalability and capacity for <strong>Unified</strong> CCE<br />

deployments. The design considerations, best practices, and capacities presented in this chapter are<br />

derived primarily from testing and, in other cases, extrapolated test data. This information is intended to<br />

enable you to size and provision <strong>Unified</strong> CCE solutions appropriately.<br />

Sizing Considerations for <strong>Unified</strong> CCE<br />

This section discusses the following <strong>Unified</strong> CCE sizing considerations:<br />

Core <strong>Unified</strong> CCE Components<br />

When sizing <strong>Unified</strong> CCE deployments, <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Communications components are a critical factor<br />

in capacity planning. Good design, including multiple <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManagers and clusters, must<br />

be utilized to support significant call loads. For additional information on <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager<br />

capacity and sizing of <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Communications components, refer to Sizing <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong><br />

CallManager 4.x and 5.x Servers, page 10-1, and to the latest version of the <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong><br />

Communications <strong>Solution</strong> <strong>Reference</strong> Network Design (SRND) guide available at<br />

www.cisco.com/go/srnd<br />

Additionally, because of varying agent and skill group capacities, proper sizing of the CTI OS and <strong>Cisco</strong><br />

Agent Desktop servers should be considered together with the <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Communications<br />

components.<br />
