Figure: Avaya Aura® on VMware
This image depicts the reference configuration of Avaya Aura core components installed on VMware. The setup requires the Avaya Aura core solution to be installed in the head office. The branch offices use IP and SIP endpoints.
The Avaya Aura® core setup is in the head office, Location 1. The head office connects to Location 2, a branch office, which is the parts warehouse. Location 2 requires a new setup for 150 users. Location 2 uses SIP endpoints. The network environment uses POE. The communication system requires a 30–channel ISDN PRI trunk for inbound and outbound calling. The branch office connects over WAN to the head office.
The second branch office, Location 3, requires a setup to support up to 40 users. The branch office uses SIP endpoints and a 30–channel ISDN PRI trunk for inbound and outbound calls. The branch office connects over WAN to the head office.
Proposed solution
Location 1
The Location 1 datacenter consists of Communication Manager, Session Manager, and System Manager. Virtualized Environment is on customer-provided hardware and VMware. The servers are installed on VMware. Location 1 uses one G430 Branch Gateway for media resources. The Location 1 system hosts all the licenses and provides services and control over WAN to Location 2 and Location 3. The Location 1 system has licenses for 190 users, 150 for Location 2 and 40 for Location 3. Number of EC-500 licenses are available as a startup are 20.
Location 2
Location 2 uses G430 Branch Gateway for media resources. The branch office uses 150 Avaya 9608 IP and SIP telephones and a 30-channel ISDN PRI card for PSTN connectivity. All endpoints work on POE and do not require local power supply. G430 Branch Gateway connects to the head office over WAN. The system uses Branch Session Manager and Survivable Remote in case of a connectivity failure at the head office.
Location 3
Location 3 uses G430 Branch Gateway for media resource and local connectivity. Location 2 uses 40 Avaya 9608 IP and SIP Phones. Location 3 uses a 30-channel PRI card for PSTN connectivity. All endpoints use POE and do not require local power supply. G430 Branch Gateway connects over WAN to Avaya servers in the head office . The setup uses the standard survivability capabilities with limited survivability features.
