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

Sizing <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager 4.x and 5.x<br />

Servers<br />

This chapter discusses the concepts, provisioning, and configuration of <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager<br />

clusters when used in a <strong>Unified</strong> CCE environment. <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager clusters provide a<br />

mechanism for distributing call processing across a converged IP network infrastructure to support<br />

<strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Communications, facilitate redundancy, and provide feature transparency and scalability.<br />

This chapter covers only the <strong>Unified</strong> CCE operation with <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager clusters and<br />

proposes reference designs for implementation.<br />

The information in this chapter builds upon the concepts presented in the <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Communications<br />

SRND, available at www.cisco.com/go/srnd. Some duplication is necessary to clarify concepts relating<br />

to <strong>Unified</strong> CCE as an application supported by the <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager call processing<br />

architecture. However, the foundational concepts are not duplicated here, and you should become<br />

familiar with them before continuing with this chapter.<br />

This chapter documents general best practices and scalability considerations for sizing the <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong><br />

CallManager servers used with your <strong>Unified</strong> CCE deployments. Within the context of this document,<br />

scalability refers to <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager server and/or cluster capacity when used in the <strong>Unified</strong><br />

CCE environment.<br />

Cluster Sizing Concepts<br />

Before attempting to size a <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager cluster for a <strong>Unified</strong> CCE deployment, you<br />

should perform the following design tasks:<br />

Determine the different types of call flows.<br />

Determine the required deployment model (single site, centralized, distributed, clustering over the<br />

WAN, or remote branches within centralized or distributed deployments).<br />

Determine whether CVP or IP IVR will be used for call treatment, self service, and queueing.<br />

Determine the protocols to be used.<br />

Determine redundancy requirements.<br />

Determine all other customer requirements for <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Communications that will share a<br />

<strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager cluster with a <strong>Unified</strong> CCE deployment (such as <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> IP<br />

Phones, applications that are not part of <strong>Unified</strong> CCE, route patterns, and so forth).<br />
