In which two ways does Cisco Business Edition 6000 protect its investment for midsize businesses that will grow to become enterprise businesses with more than 1000 users in the future? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ACisco Business Edition 6000 virtualization
• Bsimplified Cisco trade-in options for servers and endpoints
• Cfunctionalities and endpoints that are supported in both Unified Communications solutions
• DCisco Capital financing

• A
  88% (57)
• B
  9% (6)
• D
  3% (2)

Explanation

Cisco BE6000 protects midsize business investments through virtualization (A) because its architecture runs on Cisco UCS servers using a virtualized platform - the same foundation used by full enterprise Cisco Unified Communications (UC). When a company outgrows BE6000, the virtualized infrastructure can be repurposed or migrated to a full CUCM enterprise deployment without scrapping hardware. Option C is correct because BE6000 uses the same Unified Communications Manager software and supports the same endpoints (IP phones, video devices, etc.) as the enterprise UC solution - meaning phones, features, and user familiarity carry forward with no rip-and-replace.

B is wrong because "trade-in options" implies replacing existing equipment, which is the opposite of investment protection - you'd be writing off your current assets. D is wrong because Cisco Capital financing addresses how you pay, not what happens to your investment when you scale; it doesn't provide technological continuity beyond BE6000's limits.

Memory tip: Think "VA = Value Assured" - Virtualization and Applications (same endpoints/features). Both ensure the technology you buy today still works in your future enterprise - no wasted money on servers or phones when you grow past 1000 users.
