[Roadmap Request] NFVIS-for-UC

[DavidMcQueenLPS]

With the recent announcement from Cisco about their own home-grown hypervisor, NFVIS-for-UC, Just wanted to creaete a topic to see what Veeam's Roadmap looks like for it.

Cisco does not support VM snapshots for most of the UCM products, so it seems like this would be a very niche space just to do backups for the 2-3 app servers that allow snapshots.

You are most likely better off continuing with DRS backups that have been the default backup & recovery method for over a decade.

[DavidMcQueenLPS]

Our current backup and replication for our Cisco UC on VMWare is Veeam. We have never used DRS.

Most Cisco UCM does not support VM snapshot, but it should apply to the VM that is in PowerON/online state.
if the entire UCM cluster (all VMs are shutdown/offline), there is no problem at all, and it works perfectly.
While compare to Cisco DRS and Veeam restore, Veeam has the fastest recovery time to the business.
