Avaya Media Servers and Gateways
Avaya MultiVantage Hardware
Avaya Media Servers and Media Gateways provide highly flexible, scalable, and standards-based building blocks that can be mixed and matched to create customised solutions. They enable the centralised management efficiency of a single, streamlined network whilst delivering best-in-class call-processing quality and availability.
Media Servers
Avaya Media Servers are designed to meet the needs of highly distributed enterprises with mission-critical voice applications, and to meet the communication needs of small to mid-size offices, branch offices, and global multi-site networked enterprises.The level of resilience, expansion potential and support of legacy traditional devices will dictate which of the new Media Servers are required.
The Avaya servers provide a robust application platform based on industry-standard operating systems to support distributed IP networking and centralised call processing across multi-protocol networks. These servers are available as an integrated solution or can operate independently, with ability to handle up to 500,000 busy-hour call completions.
Key features:
- Redundant, survivable call and media processing supports crucial business continuity
- Distributed, survivable IP networking supports campus, global multi-site, and branch environments
- Centralised call processing distributed across multi-protocol networks support a highly diversified network architecture
- Multiple media server options, including integrated or stand-alone configurations, based on Pentium class processing capabilities
- Messaging integration with the Avaya IA770 INTUITY AUDIX application in the Avaya S8300, S8400 and S8500 Express Media Servers
Media Gateways
Avaya's Media Gateways are designed to network back to a central Media Server using a standard IP WAN link. The number of trunks, type of devices (IP/analogue/digital) and number of endpoints would indicate which Media Gateway would serve your requirements best.
Designed to extend the power of Avaya Communication Manager software to all users in the enterprise, Avaya Media Gateways address your need for converged solutions that support both TDM and IP telephony environments by seamlessly integrating traditional circuit-switched and IP-switched interfaces.
This gives your enterprise great flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. Avaya Gateways allow your organisation to evolve easily from TDM-based telephony to the next generation of IP infrastructures, including those based on the open SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) standard.
Avaya Media Gateways are available in compact stand alone, stackable, and chassis-based configurations that support Analogue, Digital, ISDN, IP PoE, LAN, and WAN interfaces. They are optimised for combined TDM/IP and all IP environments in distributed enterprises, small remote offices and large environments with thousands of users.
Key Features:
- Interoperable with standards-based data networks to provide maximum flexibility and reduce the total cost of ownership
- Support multi-protocol environments, maximising investment protection for enterprises that require concurrent support of TDM and IP-based telephony
- Redundant system and network options that support high-availability configurations for both TDM and IP-based solutions
- Designed for distributed networked telephony, extending the benefits of Avaya Communication Manager to all enterprise users regardless of location
- Connectivity across any public or private network using a variety of interface options over TDM, ATM, Ethernet, Frame Relay, or PPP
- Standalone, stackable, and chassis-based configura-tions to meet a wide range of deployment sizes
- High-density 19" rack-mountable systems that support high-availability IP Connect upgrades from Definity
