Configurations
There are two basic configuration options, single-site and multi-site
systems. The hardware servers in each option type run the VCX operating
system. The V7000-series systems (with IBM X3250m2 or IBM X3650
servers),
the 3Com V6000 (Analog) Integrated Branch Communications
Platform, and the 3Com V6100 (Digital) Integrated Branch
Communications Platform
The next two sections describe typical examples of single-site and

multi-site configurations.

This section describes two possible single-site configurations.
One Pair of Servers
■
This configuration supports 1,500 users and includes one pair of IBM
X3650 servers. The primary server and the secondary server both run
the IP Telephony and IP Messaging configuration.
The Call Records Service is enabled on the primary server only.
For smaller sites, this configuration could also be set up on two IBM
X3250m2 (supports 500 users).
Two Pair of Servers
■
This configuration provides support for 5,000 users:
Two IBM X3250m2 servers run the IP Telephony software
■
configuration. The Call Records Service is enabled on the primary
server only.
Two IBM X3650 servers run the IP Messaging configuration.
■
Multi-site configurations can be configured in two ways:
Multiple regional offices, all of which are self-contained but
■
interconnected. Each office runs either a pair or two pairs of servers as
described in the previous section. These offices may also support
branches, as described below, though typically they do not support as
many users.
Multiple regional offices, each of which supports several branch
■
offices. Each branch office supports between 200 and 500 users.
One of the regional offices contains:
Two IBM X3650 servers running the Call Processing Server
