Large Enterprise with Multiple

Locations

 An Avaya S8100 Media Server, networked to an

Avaya S8700 Media Server, could be
implemented that executes Avaya MultiVantage
Software locally, but accesses the centralized
communications applications, such as
messaging, over the WAN. The Avaya S8100
Server is
integrated with the Avaya G600 Media Gateway
to provide trunk access to the PSTN for local
calling.

 Alternatively, the enterprise could install an Avaya

G700 Media Gateway and utilize the system at
the main site to provide both Avaya MultiVantage
Software capabilities and communications
applications over the WAN. In this case, the Avaya
G700 Gateway could be equipped an Avaya
S8300 Server module with a Local Survivable
Processor (LSP). In the event of a WAN link failure,
Headquarters system failure, or extreme
congestion, the Avaya S8300 Server would
immediately
activate and run Avaya MultiVantage Software
locally to maintain the remote site functionality.

Mid-to-Large Enterprises

 The Avaya ECLIPS distributed architecture can also be

applied to a campus network for a mid to large
enterprise, as depicted in Figure 18. In this example, the
enterprise has installed the S8700 Media
Server at one location on the campus and deployed
Avaya G600 Media Gateways at other main buildings
on the campus. These modules are networked over the
campus LAN. An Avaya G600 Media Gateway
could also be installed at a remote location that is not
located on the campus. In this case, the remote
gateway is connected over the enterprise WAN. The
enterprise could also deploy the Avaya G700
Media Gateway with survivability at the remote location.

 Roaming users can communicate with this system in

two ways. The AvayaTM EC500 Extension to
Cellular transparently bridges calls received at a users
desktop phone to the users digital cellular phone.
In addition, call bridging allows a person to continue an
Avaya EC500 cellular call at their desk, seamless
switching the call from the cell phone to the desktop
set. The AvayaTM IP Softphone for Pocket PC
provides access to the office telephone features, similar
to the Avaya IP Softphone on a PC/laptop. The
connectivity to the enterprise communications system is
via the 802.11b wireless LAN. The Avaya PDA
Softphone for Pocket PC supports PDA devices using
Windows Pocket PC 2000 and 2002.

Small to Medium Enterprises

 A small to mid-sized enterprise with multiple locations can

also take advantage of the networking
capabilities that Avaya ECLIPS offers. The Avaya S8300 Media
Server, in combination with Avaya G700
Media Gateways at remote locations, can serve up to 450
users. As shown in Figure 19, the Avaya
S8300 Server at the main location is integrated with the Avaya
G700 Media Gateway, which can provide
access to the PSTN and support for digital or analog devices.
The gateways at the remote locations
would be connected to the S8300 Media Server over the
enterprise WAN. Each of these remote Avaya
G700 Gateways could be equipped with the Local Survivable
Processor (LSP) processors. This would
enable the remote system to continue to operate if the WAN
were to fail or become extremely congested.
