Adding a data center

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Data center is an entity that is used to logically combine Session Managers deployed in the same location. If you use an Avaya Aura® Device Services cluster, then every Session Manager instance that is paired with Avaya Aura® Device Services must be a part of a data center.

In geographically distributed deployments, you usually create a data center for each location in your deployment.

  3. In the Name field, type the data center name.
  4. In the Description field, type a description about the data center.

    You can assign a Session Manager to the data center while or after creating a data center. For Session Manager assignment, see Assigning Session Manager to a data center.
