MCS vs IBM/HP servers

**Mugahidmustafa** · 29-07-2007, 02:48

Dears, salam 3alaykom
I am going to buy Cisco CallManager 5.x, what is the differ between MCS and IBM/HP servers. The price of IBM or HP server is less than MCS, so this make sense that there are some technical differences or some thing else!!!. So, beside the technical support form Cisco to the MCS server, what is advanteges {technical} of this kind of servers comparing with IBM&HP servers.

Hello Mugahid

This is a good question, Actually Cisco MCS ships with an installation disk that contains all of the Windows 2000 services that are required to create a working IP telephony network. The HP and IBM servers are hardware-only; you must order a software-only version of CallManager (and the Windows 2000 installation) from Cisco to install on these servers

Dear Yahya
Installing Cisco CallManager into MSC or IBM or HP can be done and all these server are used as CallManager servers. But i am asking for the technical differences between these servers due to the deffer in prices.
BTW, MCS 78xx-Ix = IBM servers & MCS 78xx-Hx = HP servers

The price for ICM server "that used for IPCC" using MSC server = 84,986 $ and using IBM server =34,704 $, so why we r buying MCS server?!!!

الاخ مجاهد
للاسف ليس لدي معرفة كافية بالفروقات بين MCS and IBM/HP servers و لكن احببت ان انبهك بانك ستجد معلومات عملية مفيدة اكثر لو طرحت سؤالك في قسم الاتصالات و الشبكات في منتدى عرب هاردوير بدلا من قسم الشهادات العلمية لأن هذا القسم مخصص للأسئلة العلمية للطلبة بينما قسم الاتصالات و الشبكات مخصص للأسئلة العملية للاخوة الذين يعملون في مجال الاتصالات و الشبكات و لذلك زوار قسم الاتصالات و الشبكات يكون لديهم معرفة تقنية اكثر من الطلاب
