Introduction to UCSInstall_CUP_11.5.1.16910-12.sgn.iso
This cryptographically signed ISO package delivers the Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service 11.5(1) SU12 update, designed to enhance real-time collaboration capabilities in enterprise UC environments. The “.sgn” extension confirms FIPS 140-3 compliant digital signing through Cisco’s Secure Hash Architecture (SHA-512), ensuring firmware integrity for compliance-driven organizations.
As part of Cisco’s 2025 Unified Communications Security Framework, this release focuses on hardening XMPP-based instant messaging infrastructure while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy Jabber clients. Compatible with Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers and UCS B-Series blade systems, it supports VMware virtualization deployments requiring encrypted vMotion operations.
