Avaya Media Servers and Avaya Media Gateways work together with Avaya Communication Manager Software and Avaya IP Telephones to deliver the many advantages of IP telephony over your existing data network. Using a single network to handle both voice and data communication can save you time and money by simplifying network administration and eliminating the need to buy and maintain two separate networks. Sending voice calls over your data network can reduce public network long distance charges-a particular advantage in international calling. In addition, because these hardware components adhere to widely accepted standards, they make it easier to deploy applications such as unified messaging and customer relationship management across a multi-vendor data network. Their compatibility with the most popular application program interfaces encourages third-party developers to create useful new applications.

Avaya Media Servers make telephony applications an integral part of your data network infrastructure. Running Avaya's advanced, field-proven Communication Manager Software, these servers, equipped with industry-standard operating systems, distribute call-handling capabilities and more than 525 telephony features across diversified multi-protocol networks. You can choose the server best suited to meet your communication needs, from a small office to a large location supporting 12,000 IP endpoints.
