Designed for CUCM clusters deployed in UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Arabic-speaking regions, it supports localization requirements mandated by TDRA and CITC regulations. Compatibility extends to CUCM 12.5.1SU3+ virtual appliances running on Cisco UCS C220/C240 M7 hardware with VMware ESXi 8.0U3+ or KVM (RHEL 9.4+).
