Introduction to Bootable_UCSInstall_CUP_15.0.1.11900-4.sha512.iso

This SHA512-verified ISO image provides a complete deployment solution for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1 on UCS C-Series rack servers. Released under Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 4.0 in Q2 2025, this bootable media (version 15.0.1.11900-4) streamlines installation of multi-node collaboration clusters with preconfigured security profiles meeting NIST SP 800-193 standards. The “_CUP” designation confirms integration with Cisco Unified Provisioning Manager 15.x for automated service profile generation.

The image incorporates validated hardware configurations for 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Cisco UCS VIC 1500 adapters, reducing deployment time by 65% compared to manual installations. System administrators can deploy this media on UCS C220 M7/C240 M7 servers to establish production-ready CUCM clusters within 90 minutes.
