Hi, this new CCNA Voice seems very interesting. Yes I'm putting the cart before the horse since I haven't completed my CCNA but I was wondering if anyone is running Call Manager and what it takes from a software and hardware perspective. I'd have to test it out on the cheap. I am currently able to download it from Cisco per our partnership agreement and was wondering what it would take to run it in a small lab.
Thanks!

There is the Cisco Unified App Env.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CCME) :
Cisco Unified CallManager Express & SRST
Unified Communications 500 Series (UC500)
Cisco Unified CallConnectors
Cisco Service Node Software
Cisco Unity Express Software
etc.
Needed to say I'm confused as all hell lol.

Your other option would be to cobble together this functionality using ISR or older lower cost voice routersComponents of the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series include: • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express for call processing of Cisco Unified IP phones, providing a phone system rich in features • Cisco Unity® Express for voice messaging and Automated Attendant, to help improve communication among employees and with customers • An integrated 8-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) local-area network (LAN) switch • Network security functions including Cisco IOS Firewall, which protects the wide-area network (WAN) entry point into your network, and virtual private network (VPN), which gives up to 10 remote users highly secure access to your network • Optional integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) capability on some models or external access points and Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Modules, to enable mobile networking, which can help increase employee flexibility and productivity • Cisco Configuration Assistant so you can easily configure devices and technologies including unified communications (phones and software), switching, routing, security, and wireless • Optional remote system-monitoring capabilities
And you still need a few other items either way....CIsco Unified Communications 500 Series also supports (sold seperately): • Cisco Unified IP phones, including wireless handsets and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones • Cisco Unified CallConnectors for integration with Windows PC applications including Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, or Salesforce.com CRM • An ability to expand switching capabilities through a connection to Cisco Catalyst® Express 520 Series Switches, which provide an additional 8 to 24 ports
