Chapter 3 Cisco CallManager Clusters
Cluster Operation and Scalability Guidelines
The maximum number of registered devices per Cisco CallManager is 5000 in the
case of the MCS-7835, including a maximum of 2500 IP telephones, gateways,
and Digital Signaling Processor (DSP) devices such as transcoding and
conferencing resources. In the event of failure of one of the Cisco CallManagers
within the cluster, the maximum number of registered devices remains 5000 per
Cisco CallManager in the case of the MCS-7835.
Device Weights
Many types of devices can register with a Cisco CallManager. Each of these
resources—IP phones, voice mail ports, Telephony Application Programming
Interface (TAPI) devices, Java Telephony API (JTAPI) devices, gateways, and
DSP resources such as transcoding and conferencing—carries a different weight.
Table 3-2 shows the weight for each of the resource types, based on the
consumption of memory and CPU resources.
