Avaya supports deploying CMS KVM on either an Avaya Solutions Platform 130 R6 server (ASP 130 R6) or a customer-provided server.

For new installations and upgrades, you can deploy CMS as a virtual machine on ASP 130 R6 servers. Avaya supplies these servers pre-installed with Linux R8.10 and configured to support KVM virtual machine deployment.

The CMS OVA file, usable for deploying CMS as a VMware virtual machine, is still supported for installation on customer-provided servers.
