S8700 Media Server

Designed to meet the most demanding customer environments, the S8710 Media Server introduced a more powerful processor, increased storage and optical drive capacity, higher speed USB 2.0 interfaces, and a higher performance server duplication interface, while retaining the 2U vertical form factor of the existing S8700 platform. As a result, the S8710 delivers at least a 25% improvement in BHCC (Busy Hour Call Completion) over the S8700 Media Server.

Overview
 

What's New With This Release

The S8710 introduces a more powerful processor, increased storage and optical drive capacity, higher speed USB 2.0 interfaces, and a higher performance server duplication interface. The S8710 Media Server (introduced with CM 2.2) uses an Intel Xeon server. Both server types run Linux Operating System. The S8700/S8710/S8720 Media Server can be sold in two configurations, Multi Connect and IP Connect. The Multi Connect configurations utilize either ATM or Center Stage Switch (CSS) for a bearer Port Network Connectivity (PNC) and use the MCC1 and SCC1 Media Gateways. The IP Connect configuration utilizes an IP network for a bearer PNC and uses the G650 Media Gateway. Both Multi Connect and IP Connect configurations support the G700, G350, and G250 Media Gateways with or without Local Survivable Processor (LSP) for remote locations.

Features
     

High Capacity

The S8710 can support up to 375,000 Busy Hour Call Completions in a general business call mix, 36,000 stations and 8000 trunks.

Enterprises can consolidate multiple systems onto one server, therefore reducing equipment costs and simplifying system administration, management and monitoring.

Common Software Base

As a member of the Avaya family of Media Servers, the S8710 utilizes Communication Manager, the latest version of advanced telephony software, to deliver proven reliability, efficient call processing and more than 700 advanced telephony features.

Provides enterprises with a common set of capabilities that can be deployed across the enterprise enabling all employees to utilize their desktop telephony no matter where they are (in the office, at home, on the road, at a customer location, etc.)

Scalable Architecture

The S8710 can scale up to 36,000 stations (12,000 can be IP) on a single server and up to 1,000,000 stations in a distributed enterprise network.

Provides enterprises with the flexibility to scale their communication network to their needs. As an enterprise expands through a merger, acquisition or increased performance the S8710 is flexible to grow with them and easily add capacity as needed. This provides investment protection and efficiency of capital expenditure, you only purchase what you need at any given time.

Redundancy Options

The standard S8710 configuration always includes two servers helping to ensure a highly reliable network. There are also high and critical versions of the S8710 configuration which enable customer the option of purchasing a fully redundant network.

Business Continuity - For those most critical business functions, such as headquarters operations or standalone customer contacts centers, a loss of communications is not an option. With the inherent reliability built into the S8710 along with the additional reliability options available, make the S8710 one of the most reliable communications solutions on the market today.

Unified System Management Tools

The Integrated Management suite provides a comprehensive set of applications that make it easier to administer, manage and monitor complex communications networks.

One centralized set of applications to configure, manage and monitor, media servers, media gateways and endpoints. This simplifies and enhances the productivity of systems administrators and network managers throughout the enterprise.

Standards Based

The S8710 uses a standard based Intel Pentium processor and runs on the Linux operating system. And because it runs Communication Manager software it supports the majority of industry standard application programming interfaces and protocols such as, TAPI, TSAPI, JTAPI, DAPI, ASAI, LDAP, H.323, QSIG, H.450 and H.248.

Enables customers to create a multi-vendor environment, which allows them to integrate products and software from best-in-class vendors across their network.
