Introduction to UCCX-300_agents_v1.0_vmv7.ova
This OVA template provides a preconfigured virtual machine deployment for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5.1 supporting up to 300 concurrent agents. Released on March 15, 2025, it integrates with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.5+ to deliver enterprise-grade customer interaction management through IP telephony and AI-driven routing.
The virtual appliance implements Cisco’s SecureX architecture for zero-trust security compliance while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy MCS7825 server hardware migrations. It features automated skill-based routing configurations optimized for financial services and healthcare verticals requiring PCI-DSS/HIPAA compliance.
