High Availability Solutions: Avaya Media Servers and Media Gateways With Avaya Communication Manager Software

Tags:
high availability

Overview Companies are staking their success on reliable communications systems. With the convergence of voice and data applications running on common systems, the stakes grow higher. A communications failure could bring an entire business to a halt, with disastrous consequences. Executives and communication managers who understand what it takes to assure "High availability" will be well positioned to choose vendors who can deliver systems the enterprise can count on. Availability is a measure of "Uptime," the percentage of time that a system is performing its useful function. In voice systems, availability calculations are based on the presence of traditional "Dial-tone," plus the ability of the user to make and receive calls in a desired manner. This is also true for associated applications like contact centers.
