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.
