The architecture is highly scalable and can be deployed in a number of different architectural line-ups:
Managed CUCM Architecture
Managed UC is a deployment model where an Enterprise may choose a Service Provider to remotely "manage" their dedicated IP-PBX and UC servers within their own data centre.
The Service Provider manages the IP Voice services for the Enterprise removing the need for the Enterprise to employ its own operational staff. The Enterprise may choose to maintain its own head-end equipment, or have the Service Provider supply engineers to peform this task as well.
Importantly, the Enterprise owns its own equipment and can always choose to shift its support contract and carriage to another Managed Service Provider.
Service Providers offering Managed IP-PBX services have a number of clear advantages from deploying Managed UC architecture.
Hosted CUCM Architecture
Hosted UC is a deployment model where an Enterprise chooses a Service Provider to "host and manage" their dedicated IP-PBX and UC servers within the Service Provider's data centre.
Similar to other deployment modes, the Service Provider manages the IP Voice and UC services for the Enterprise and maintains the head-end equipment, removing the need for the Enterprise to employ its own NOC and operational staff.
Service Providers offering Hosted UC services have a number of clear advantages from deploying Hosted UC architecture.
