Hosted Release 7.5. CSA 5.0 or CSA 4.5.1, which were supported on prior releases of Unified ICM/Contact Center

Enterprise, are not

supported in Release 7.5. Therefore, you must uninstall prior releases of CSA before upgrading to

Release 7.5. For more details refer to the Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted

Editions or, for System CCE, Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified System Contact Center Enterprise.

7.9 Server Virtualization

Starting with Unified ICM/Unified Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted 7.5(3), servers can be consolidated by deploying a

virtualization solution for Client Administrator Workstations (AWs) and certain Peripheral Gateways (PGs) on the

VMware platform. Please see the tables below for the virtualization requirements, mapping to discrete servers, and CPU

processor and RAM requirements for each of the supported PG and Client AW virtual machines (VMs). You must read

through and follow the guidelines and restrictions described in the Virtualization Guide for Cisco Unified Intelligent

Contact Management and Contact Center Enterprise document before you incorporate virtual machines in your Contact

Center design and deployment.

Other ICM/CCE components, such as the Router, Logger, AW Distributor, HDS, WebView server, and CAD

server, as well as CCMP and CUIS, are not supported in a virtualized environment at this time.
