Hi Muhammed,

 

Also, depending on your license, I would deploy the i5800 as vCMP.

 

You will be able to deploy independent instances for the different modules Dave mentioned (or combinations thereof). And strategically place them in your network.

 

It might involve more planning and time for deployment but it will pay off a lot in the future, in my opinion.

 

But like Dave said, please do not underestimate this kind of deployment (in general, not just vCMP).

 

In any case, good luck!
