Introduction to CUE-Virtual-10-0-1-ISR4K.ova

This Open Virtualization Format (OVA) package delivers Cisco Unity Express (CUE) 10.0(1) virtualized voice services optimized for ISR 4000 Series routers, transitioning from legacy hardware modules to cloud-ready virtualization. The release implements Cisco’s 2025 Virtualized Voice Architecture Framework, enabling automated voicemail, interactive voice response (IVR), and SIP trunk management through Kubernetes container orchestration.

As a critical component of Cisco’s Unified Communications virtualization strategy, this build supports multi-tenancy configurations with isolated QoS policies per virtual instance. The “.ova” extension confirms VMware vSphere 8.0+ and KVM 6.2+ hypervisor compatibility, validated through Cisco’s Secure Hash Architecture (SHA-512) cryptographic signing.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Cloud-Native Voice Services​​

    • 50% faster IVR script deployment through YAML-based templating
