Avaya’s IP Office 9.0 was officially released as of September 30th. This latest release continued to evolve the IP Office product and solutions with its focus being to position and strengthen IP Office as a market leader within the small phone system market.
With this new release, there are a number key features worth noting:
A PLATFORM FOR GROWTH
Avaya IP Office 9.0 system software easily and cost-effectively scales to 2,000 users (previously 1,000 users) at up to 32 locations. Providing a seamless collaboration experience for voice, video, and mobility, IP Office delivers exceptional value and low total cost of ownership.
FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
IP Office 9.0 adds virtualized software as an option, enabling deployment on
a customer-supplied server running VMware vSphere 4.x or 5.x software. Virtualized IP Office software is packaged in a single OVA format that can be ignited as a primary, secondary, expansion, Avaya one-X® Portal, or applications server. IP Office software can now run inside a virtual machine, on a dedicated server, an appliance, or a combination of these, adding flexibility while enabling customers to match the deployment method to their infrastructure plans and objectives.
SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT
IP Office Web Manager for Server Edition provides a consolidated management view of a multi-site IP Office solution through a one-time log-in to a single URL. Web Manager allows access to primary, secondary, expansion, and application servers, along with solution-wide user management, back-up, restore, and upgrades, simplifying management while reducing administrative overhead.
SUPPORT FOR THE ENTERPRISE BRANCH
IP Office 9.0 supports multiple branch office deployment options. IP Office can be installed in a standalone, independent branch or be connected to the Avaya Aura® network in distributed and centralized branch modes, based on the need for specific features and applications in each branch location.
PART OF A COMPLETE COLLABORATION SOLUTION
Avaya surrounds its proven Avaya IP Office collaboration software platform with Avaya networking, security, video, and support, plus third-party applications, enabling your Avaya partner to deliver a comprehensive solution for your midsize company from a single source – designed to work together – reducing integration risk while speeding return on investment.
AVAYA VIDEO COLLABORATION FOR IP OFFICE
Video collaboration helps build relationships, increasingly important as workers become more mobile and more distributed. The Avaya Video Collaboration Solution for IP Office is the only video solution for midsized companies that combines desktop, mobile, and HD room-based video collaboration in a simple, yet affordable package.
AVAYA ERS 3500/4800 SERIES SWITCHES
Deploying a collaboration solution can impact your network. Unique provisioning capabilities in Avaya Ethernet Switches – designed to work with IP Office – make it easy to add secure, reliable, full-featured network connectivity and power with a low overall total cost of ownership. With Avaya on Avaya, your workforce will enjoy the collaboration experience they expect.
AVAYA SESSION BORDER CONTROLLER
Securing unified communications beyond the borders of the business requires an approach that is different from securing data. An Avaya Session Border Controller provides comprehensive security for SIP trunks, secures remote connections without a VPN, encrypts remote connections to prevent eavesdropping, and helps guard against denial of service attacks, call hijacking, and toll fraud.
INTEGRATED FOR SUCCESS
Organizations often struggle with UC deployments and with updates needed in networking and security to support the new applications. By offering a proven, well-integrated collaboration solution from a single vendor, that is easy to deploy, use, and manage, Avaya and its partners help reduce integration risk and delays, speed time to results, and lower total cost of ownership.
