1. Introduction to UCCX_100_agents_v2.0_vmv7.ova

The ​​UCCX_100_agents_v2.0_vmv7.ova​​ is Cisco’s optimized virtual appliance package for mid-sized contact center deployments, designed to support 100 concurrent agents with enterprise-grade reliability. Released in Q1 2025, this Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) integrates Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5(1)SU2 core components with VMware ESXi 8.0U3 optimizations for resource-constrained environments.

This preconfigured solution supports hybrid deployment models, enabling seamless integration with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.5+ clusters while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy IVR scripts from UCCX 12.0 installations. The package includes hardened security profiles compliant with PCI-DSS 4.0 standards for payment processing workflows.
