Avaya IP Office 8.1 Product Description page 357

Distributed Messaging
One Centralized Voicemail Pro server is supported in a SCN of multiple IP Office systems with IP Office /
Voicemail Pro Release 5 and earlier. IP Office R6 allows multiple Distributed Voicemail Pro servers to be placed
at selected or all of the IP Office nodes.
Into one Multi Site Network there can be one Centralized Voicemail Pro, one Backup Voicemail Pro (as a backup
for the Centralized Voicemail Pro), and up to 30 Distributed Voicemail Pro (theoretical value). The Centralized
Voicemail Proserver will keep its role as the main voicemail server. It provides the media store for voicemails
left on the system, as well as the media services required on the Multi Site Network to IP Offices not supported
by a local Voicemail Pro server.
The retrieval of voicemails will require access to the Centralized Voicemail Pro, while other voice resources will
be available locally, providing local capabilities for queuing announcements, call recordings, auto attendants
and leaving of voicemails.
On failure of a Distributed Voicemail Pro, the Centralized Voicemail Pro will be used for all functions as if no
Distributed Voicemail Pro servers were present.
Centralized Voicemail Pro, Distributed VoiceMail, or Backup VoiceMail require the same Preferred Edition license
but will be configured differently in IP Office Manager according to the required function.
