About Cisco Unified Intelligence Center
Unified IC can be installed as a standalone server or as a cluster of a maximum of eight server
nodes. There is one mandatory publisher node (called the Controller) and a maximum of seven
subscriber nodes (called Members). The Controller node includes a Member; thus a deployment
can consist of a Controller only.
All nodes must meet latency requirements as described in the SRND.
The primary node (the Controller) includes both the Administration (Operations, Administration,
Maintenance, and Provisioning or OAMP) and the Unified IC Reporting web applications. A
Controller is required in all deployments. A deployment can consist of a Controller only.
The Member nodes have the Unified IC Reporting web application only.
Unified IC is installed on Cisco Unified Voice Operating System (VOS). This is an appliance
model or "closed box" and does not support navigation into, or manipulation of, the file system.
Unified IC must be installed on Multimedia Communications Servers (MCS) or equivalent
hardware, or a Virtual Machine running over UCS B-Series and C-Series Servers.
The disk capacity and hardware type of Member nodes should be equal to or greater than those
of the Controller node.
