The sun was rising. Her boss walked in, saw the green "All Systems Operational" dashboard, and grunted. "Good. Now document it. We're virtualizing the rest next month." cucm virtualization

In a hypervisor, if the ESXi host gets busy, that same delay can trigger a "node isolation" event. The cluster would split-brain faster than you could say "call manager group." But she knew the rule, the one the

No local disk failures. No proprietary hardware dependencies. Just pure, clean compute. In a physical world, a 200ms delay is a shrug

The phones. Seven hundred IP phones across three continents. They register via TFTP, then pull their configuration from the CUCM database. But their old TFTP server had been Big Yellow's IP address.
