I second the DigiCert recommendation.  They are unique in that they let you 
generate multiple server certificates (using multiple private keys) under the 
same multi-SAN cert order.  

You just add all of the fqdns to the same certificate order (via the CSR) and 
when you generate the multiSAN CSR from each server (or cluster) you will add 
the fqdn of the other servers as alternative names.   So when you generate a 
Unity Connection CSR, you will add the cucm nodes, CCX nodes, etc as 
alternative names.   If you don’t do that, digicert will invalidate any 
previous signed certs under that order so make sure you include the same 
alternative names in every CSR.

Every other provider we’ve reviewed requires you to either share the private 
keys (which Cisco UC servers don’t allow) or they make you order separate 
multi-SAN certs per cluster.
