Critical reliability configuration
The critical reliability configuration option is built upon the high reliability configuration. In the
critical reliability configuration, the bearer network has duplicated components so that there is
no single point of failure. The critical reliability configuration consists of the following
components:
Two S8700 series Media Servers
Two IPSI circuit packs in each IPSI-connected port network
Two Ethernet switches
Two UPS units
Two CSS/ATM EI (Expansion Interface) in every port network
S8700 Multi-Connect survivability
In addition to the high reliability of the duplicated S8700 Multi-Connect Media Servers, the
S8300 Media Server in a Local Survivable Processor (LSP) configuration can be used to
provide survivability. Additional recovery capability is embedded in the Communication Manager
that resides on the S8700 Media Server.
Avaya S8700 series Media Server IP-Connect configuration
The S8700 IP-Connect configuration is an all-IP solution that is built on open IP network
connection. This solution is designed for medium to large enterprises. The main difference
between the IP-Connect Solution and Multi-Connect solution is that IP-Connect uses the IP
network for all inter-gateway communication, where Multi-Connect also uses CSS or ATM
networking.
As
Table 12: Capacity limits for S8700 / G650 / G700 / G350 IP-Connect solution
shows, the system supports up to 12,000 IP stations, 8,000 non-IP stations, and 8,000 IP and
non-IP trunks, with the capacity of 100,000 General Business call mix BHCC. The IP-Connect
platform is scalable to 64 Port Networks, each of which can house up to four G650s and up to
250 G700 or G350 Media Gateways. The Media Server complex still consists of duplicated
S8700 servers. One server is active, and the other server is on standby.
