In-Depth Information
Of the two CME/Unity deployment options, deploying multiple CME systems with a centralized Cisco Unity system often is the
most sensible. This is because although Cisco Unity can support thousands of users, a single CME system can support only a couple
hundred. Therefore, deploying a standalone CME system with Cisco Unity may be uneconomic, and deploying a centralized Cisco
Unity system with multiple CME systems also makes voicemail administration and management much easier (compared to multiple
distributed voicemail systems).
One thing to notice about the deployment of a centralized Cisco Unity system is that a CME system is also deployed at the central
site. This central CME system serves to relay communications between the Cisco Unity system and the CME systems at the remote
sites.
The following example contains a CME configuration for integration with Cisco Unity:
