Cisco actually supports running Unity as a virtual machine guest in ESX. The Desgin Guide is here http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/virtualization_design/guide/cuvirtualdg010.html

Cisco does not support Vmotion, HA, or iSCSI attached storage for a virtualized Unity box. They also do not support a physical to virtual conversion of a Unity server. Hopefully Cisco will support Vmotion and HA at some point.

I also found some interesting information on running an older Call Manager version (4.x) as a VM – http://www.blindhog.net/cisco-install-call-manager-4x-with-vmware/

Here is some info I found on UCCX – http://tannerezell.com/cisco/?p=85
