1. Introduction to Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_15.0.1.11900-23.sha512.iso
This bootable ISO image delivers Cisco Unified Communications Operating System (UCOS) 15.0.1, the foundational platform for Cisco’s enterprise collaboration infrastructure. Designed for large-scale UC deployments, it provides preconfigured templates for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), IM&P servers, and Expressway edge nodes.
Released on March 15, 2025 under Cisco’s Q2 software cycle, this build (11900-23) introduces enhanced security protocols and hardware compatibility for UCS C480 M9 rack servers and B200 M7 blade systems. The SHA512 checksum ensures cryptographic validation of installation media integrity, aligning with FIPS 180-4 standards for secure enterprise deployments.
2. Key Features and Improvements
