Introduction to PCD_UCOS_14.0.1.13900-96.sha512.iso

This cryptographic hash-verified ISO image provides the core operating system for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 deployments. Designed as a baseline installation package, it integrates essential services for voice/video collaboration, device management, and secure session control in enterprise UC environments.

Certified under Cisco’s Secure Development Lifecycle, the SHA512-signed build (version 14.0.1.13900-96) resolves 34 critical vulnerabilities identified in previous releases. Released on March 28, 2025, it supports UCS C-Series M8 servers and VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+ virtualization platforms with minimum 64GB RAM allocation.
