BCP OM enhancements

This feature provides Operational Measurement (OM) enhancements for
the Border Control Point (BCP). The BCP was formerly known as the
RTP Media Portal. The OM groups MediaPortalInstance and Ports are
introduced, and OM registers are added to the MediaPortal OM group.
For more information, see

BCP/MAS co-residency

This feature enables the Border Control Point (BCP, formerly known as
the RTP Media Portal) and Media Application Server (MAS) applications
to co-reside in the same IBM BladeCenter T (BCT) chassis. For example,
the same chassis can be used for BCP, MAS Ad Hoc Conferencing and
MAS Announcements. Each application runs on its own server card (an
HS20 Blade server) in the chassis. Co-residency reduces hardware costs
and provides a flexible growth strategy for existing systems. Any MAS
application can be co-resident.
For more information, see

BCT for MAS

This feature provides the evolution of the Media Application Server to the
IBM BladeCenter T chassis, which is NEBS-3-/ETSI-compliant. Network
Equipment Building System 3 (NEBS-3) compliant hardware adheres to
strict requirements for withstanding high temperatures, violent shaking,
lightning strikes, airborne contaminants, fires and electrostatic discharge.
