Introduction to UCSInstall_UCOS_6.1.3.2000-1.sgn.iso
This SHA512-signed ISO image provides the complete installation package for Cisco Unified Communications Operating System (UCOS) 6.1.3.2000-1, specifically optimized for UCS C-Series rack servers. Released on May 10, 2025, as part of Cisco’s Q2 unified communications infrastructure update, it integrates critical security patches from Cisco Security Bulletin cisco-sa-20250514-ucos and delivers enhanced VoIP service reliability for enterprise environments supporting 500-50,000 IP endpoints.
Designed under Cisco’s Converged Infrastructure Framework, this version supports automated provisioning of Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters on UCS C240 M6/M7 servers while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy MCS-7800 series hardware. The ISO includes pre-configured drivers for Cisco VIC 1457/1458 adapters and implements FIPS 140-3 Level 2 encryption standards for government-grade deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Automated Cluster Deployment
- 30% faster node synchronization using Cisco HyperFlex 5.0(1a) storage acceleration
- Pre-integrated drivers for Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Gen processors (Ice Lake)
- Zero-touch provisioning for multi-node clusters via Cisco DNA Center 2.3.5 integration
-
Security Enhancements
- Addresses 5 CVSS 9.0+ vulnerabilities in SIP stack implementation (CVE-2025-3291 to 3295)
- Enforces TLS 1.3 for all intra-cluster communications
- Implements quantum-resistant encryption algorithms for certificate management
-
Performance Optimization
- 40% reduction in call setup latency through SIP over QUIC protocol support
- Dynamic memory allocation adjusts from 16GB to 256GB based on workload demands
- Enhanced diagnostics engine detects 93% of configuration errors pre-deployment
