Overview of Packaged CCE (CCE PAC M1)


Packaged CCE supports 1000 agents and delivers Cisco Systems contact center components on a single pair
of duplexed Unified Computing System (UCS) servers, referred to as the Side A Host and the Side B Host.
These components are deployed as on-box Virtual Machines (VMs) that are described by OVA files downloaded
from Cisco Systems, Inc.
The Packaged CCE VMs provide the essential set of contact center functionalitycall processing, prompts
and rich VXML scripting, voice response collection, agent selection, queuing, and reporting. With its controlled
environment and well-defined configuration and deployment boundaries, CCE PAC M1 is a robust solution
with high availability and solution serviceability. Additional benefits are simplified ordering and deployment
rollout, easier operation and maintenance, and Unified CCE Web Administrationa streamlined, browser-based
administration interface for configuring the system and monitoring its health.
The CCE PAC M1 deployment supports on-box virtual machines (VMs) for the following products. Nothing
can be installed other than what is in this table.

VM Required? Notes
Cisco Unified Contact Center Yes Installed as two CCE Call Server VMs (one on the Side A
Enterprise (Unified CCE) Host and one on the Side B Host) and two CCE Data Server
VMs (one on Side A and one on Side B).
Cisco Unified Customer Voice Yes Installed as two CVP Call/VXML servers on Side A, two
Portal (Unified CVP) on Side B, and one on Side A.

Cisco Unified Intelligence Center Yes Installed as a Publisher node on Side A and one Subscriber
node on Side B.

VM Required? Notes
Cisco Finesse Yes Installed as a Primary node on Side A and one Secondary
node on Side B.
Important You must install Finesse as on-box VMs, even
if you do not intend to use the Finesse desktop.
Cisco Unified CVP Reporting No Used for the Courtesy Callback feature and VXML reporting.
Server You have the option to install the CVP Reporting Server as
an on-box VM on Side B or to connect to an external CVP
Reporting Server.
Cisco Unified Communications Yes Unified CM is required as either three on-box VMs or as a
Manager networked external Unified CM Publisher that connects with
Subscribers.
On-box Unified CM is installed as a Publisher and a
Subscriber node on Side A and a second Subscriber node
on Side B.

External Machine Notes


Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Optionally, Packaged CCE may connect to an existing
Business Edition 7000 external cluster instead of using the on-box cluster.
Use the 7500-User VM Configuration or larger for
Subscriber nodes on an external/existing cluster.

Cisco Unified Email Interaction Manager/Web Required for email and web collaboration
Interaction Manager management.
If you install EIM/WIM on a separate server,
download the OVA that is appropriate for your
EIMWIM deployment size. Go here to download the
OVA.

External AW-HDS-DDS Add up to two if you need additional HDS reporting


data retention or if you need to connect to any
third-party application for database access, such as
Workforce Management applications.
Go here and navigate to download the 10.0 OVA.
Select the AW-HDS-DDS template.

Cisco MediaSense Provides recording, playback, live streaming, and


storage of media, including audio and video, to
improve customer care.
Cisco Unified CVP Reporting Server Required for VXML reporting for the A side CVP
Call Servers if Packaged CCE is split over a WAN.

Solution Topology
This figure shows the location of the virtual machines on Side A and on Side B in a deployment in which the
Unified Communications Manager publisher and subscribers are installed as on-box virtual machines on
the Side A and Side B hosts.
If you configure an external Unified Communications Manager, Side A will not have the Unified CM Publisher
or Unified Communications Manager Subscriber 1. Side B will not have the Unified Communications Manager
Subscriber 2.

Fault Tolerance
Packaged Contact Center Enterprise uses two servers to run the core applications components in duplex
(synchronized) operation. This gives the contact center site survivability and recovery in most failure scenarios.
Packaged CCE does not support simplex (single-server) deployments, outside of lab mode.
Router and PG co-location on a single physical server (one per side) requires a high level of network fault
tolerance to avoid a double failure. A double failure is the loss of both the Visible and Private network
connectivity to the host server, causing a potentially serious degradation in call routing. Recovery from double
failure requires manual intervention.

Local and Wide Area Network Communications


Due to the use of VMware virtual switch (vSwitch) and the nature of the fault and recovery mechanism, Cisco
Systems requires Vmware NIC Teaming to connect to redundant physical switches for the Packaged CCE
public and private networks. See thePackaged CCE Installation and Upgrade Guide for more on this design.

Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide, Release 10.0(1)

System Requirements and Server Configuration
Network Configuration and QoS

Network uplink designs other than that detailed in the Packaged CCE Installation and Upgrade Guide may
expose the applications to unexpected fault scenarios that impact the recovery and/or operation of the Contact
Center.
This fault tolerant design specifies use of two VMware vSwitches, one each for the Packaged CCE public
and private network VLANs. Each vSwitch in turn has one Active and one Standby vmnic. Each Active/Standby
pair should be split across physical NIC adapters (for example, Active onboard/Standby on add-in card). These
four vmnic's may connect up to as few as two physical switches, or to as many as eight. The intention of the
uplinks is to ensure that no single failure (physical NIC card, cable, physical switch) causes the loss of both
the public and private network communications at the same time, or the loss of both the Active and Standby
for the same vSwitch at the same time.

Note VMware and server management vSwitch should also be configured separately for enterprise management
separate from either the public or private network communications paths, following VMware best practices.
Campus LAN, Metro Area Network (MAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) (all considered WAN from
here) split Packaged CCE deployments require a highly available Visible network communications between
those data centers. These data centers must also have dedicated or shared Packaged CCE Private network
communications path in a topology such that no single point of failure within that data center and WAN
infrastructure results in the loss of both the Packaged CCE Visible and Private network communications for
more than 500ms.
Latency Requirements
Network Maximum Round Trip Time Supported
Visible 400 ms
Private 100 ms

Network Configuration and QoS


Your Wide Area Network must support QoS. For details, refer to the Bandwidth Provisioning and QoS
considerations section in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide: http://www.cisco.com/
en/US/partner/products/sw/custcosw/ps1844/products_implementation_design_guides_list.html.

Data Backup
Data backup tools must be run during a scheduled maintenance window. If you use local SQL backups, make
sure that the local machine has sufficient capacity. If not, back up to remote storage on the network.

NTP and Time Synchronization


Packaged CCE requires that all parts of the solution have the same time. While time drift occurs naturally, it
is critical to configure NTP to keep solution components synchronized. To prevent time drifts on Live Data
reports, the NTP settings on the Data Server VMs, the Call Server VMs, and on the Cisco Unified Intelligence
Center Publisher and Subscriber VMs must be synchronized.

Packaged CCE negotiates the audio codec when a call first connects between two points. For example, the
codec is negotiated when:
A call arrives in the system and media is established between the ingress gateway and a VXML browser.
A call in the queue connects to an agent and media is established between the ingress gateway and the
agent phone.

See Load Capacity, on page 24.

Cisco Unified Border Element


Packaged CCE supports SIP Service Provider trunking by means of an ISR G2-based Cisco Unified Border
Element (Unified Border Element) connected to Cisco Voice Portal/Unified Communications Manager.
Cisco UBE performs the role of session border controller (SBC) for SIP normalization and interoperability
from the SIP Service Provider to Unified CVP for delivery of call to the agent: SP CLOUD <--> Unified
Border Element <--> CVP.
Note the following:
A software license is required to run Unified Border Element. See the ordering guide at http://
www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/gatecont/ps5640/order_guide_c07_462222.html.
VXML gateways should be separate from Ingress Unified Border Element. Combination gateways can
be used in smaller deployments, when capacity requirements do not drive the need.
Because Packaged CCE supports G.711 for IVR but both G.711 and G.729 for agents, it is important
to pay close attention to mid-call codec changes when agents are using G.729.
Renegotiate the codec mid-call if the SIP carrier provider can support it. If not, Unified Border Element
will need to transcode calls. This will affect Unified Border Element capacity.
The default prompts shipped with Cisco Voice Portal are in u-law. They must be replaced with a-law
prompts if the deployment requires a-law codec use.
