1. Introduction to UCSInstall_CUC_14.0.1.12900-69.sha512.iso
This Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 bootable ISO provides a complete deployment solution for enterprise collaboration systems. Designed for virtualized environments, it supports:
- Multi-Server Clustering: Enables Publisher/Subscriber node configurations with automatic service synchronization
- Cryptographic Validation: SHA512 hash verification ensures installation integrity from download to deployment
- Hardware Abstraction: Compatible with Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers and third-party hypervisors
Released on April 28, 2025, this ISO incorporates security updates from Cisco Security Advisory 2025-03 and complies with FIPS 180-4 standards for federal deployments.
