Avaya Aura Midsize Enterprise single server (aka: Midsize Business Template - MBT) Avaya one-X UC All Inclusive Contact Center Express Modular Messaging
Avaya Aura Midsize Enterprise single server (Midsize Business Template - MBT)
For the November launch, Avaya has packaged four (4) key Avaya Aura applications on one server using System Platform technology (described below). Also included are some key supporting applications and utilities intended to simplify system deployment and reduce ongoing ownership cost. This allows Avaya Aura to be sold and implemented as a complete single server communication system serving from 101 to 2,400 stations. Avaya is bringing to market a simple, single server solution focused on simplifying IP/SIP telephony roll-out to customers having from 101 to 2,400 stations. With this offer, the necessary Avaya Aura applications and utilities are deployed on only one server instead of across four servers and physical gateways are moved into software. Management is also simplified, and energy costs are lowered. Unified Communication can now be put within reach of midsize enterprise customers with the value of Avaya Aura applications all

installed on one Avaya S8800 or S8510 Server. This packaging of these applications is also referred to as a template. The Midsize Business Template (MBT) contains the following applications: Communication Manager 5.2.1 Communication Manager Messaging 5.2.1 SIP Enablement Services 5.2.1 (In a Home/Edge Combo configuration) Application Enablement Services 5.2 Media Services (software IP media gateway, purchased separately) Utility Services
As deployed on System Platform, each of these applications has the same features and capacities as if running standalone on separate servers. New from Avaya and included in this set of applications is Avaya Aura Media Services, a software IP media gateway built upon proven VoIP technology from our hardware media gateways. For a customer needing only H.323 IP or SIP phones and trunks, it is possible to avoid the cost of purchasing a hardware gateway by utilizing a SIP service provider for connectivity outside the enterprise. Media Services enables a true one-box deployment of Avaya Aura. If analog, TDM, or DCP endpoints and trunks are needed, an external gateway such as the low-cost G430 gateway can be used and is fully interoperable. A new dimension of business continuity and survivability, beyond Communication Managers robust architecture and Local Survivable Processor (LSP) support, is provided by System Platforms High Availability option. All component applications in the list above share this increased survivability. This is implemented by installing a second standby server identical to the first server that will start all the hosted applications in the relatively rare case that the first server should fail. Recovery time is expected to be from 4 to 5 minutes. And finally, the Utility Services component of this Avaya Aura deployment provides key tools and applications useful to support IP telephony in an enterprise:
HTTP and HTTPS fileserver for IP phones Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server MyPhone (self administration tool for IP phone users) Call Detail Recording (CDR) collection tools Scheduling and control of IP phone firmware upgrades Control of IP phone settings via Graphical User Interface (GUI) settings editor
Avaya Aura Midsize Enterprise single server can be easily extended through the addition of other applications including Avaya one-X UC All Inclusive, Contact Center Express, Modular Messaging and Meeting Exchange, each of which offer a single server configuration either now or in the near future. These additional applications will each reside on separate hardware.
System Platform is engineered by Avaya to enable real-time communications solutions to perform effectively in a virtualized environment. System Platform effectively manages the allocation and sharing of server hardware resources, including the CPU, memory, disk storage, and network interfaces. In order to continue delivering the high reliability of real-time communications that Avayas customers expect, System Platform is being delivered solely via an appliance model, which includes an Avaya Server, System Platform, and the Avaya software applications.
Initially Avaya Aura for Midsize Enterprises (described above) will be deployed using System Platform; eventually System Platform will become the de-facto deployment method for many of Avayas software applications and solutions. System platform supports installation of unmodified Avaya products in a virtualized environment. These products are brought together into a pre-defined template that can be installed, managed, and supported in a common way and on shared server hardware. For the Midsize Business Template, the following applications are deployed on System Platform to enable the one-box solution:.

In summary, Avaya Aura System Platform provides a simplified common framework upon which Avaya solutions will be delivered and supported starting with Avaya Aura for Midsize Enterprises in November 2009
Supported Servers
MBT is supported by both the existing Avaya S8510 server (with RAM expanded to 8 GB, see below in the SAP Material Code section) and the new Avaya S8800 server. The S8800 series common server is a powerful and reliable processing platform that is ready to support Avaya Aura communications solutions today and in the future. The Avaya S8800 Server leverages Intels latest Xeon E5500 series (Nehalem) processor technology, and is available in both 1U and 2U form factors. Most Avaya applications will use the S8800 1U server chassis; some applications that require a large number of hard disk drives and / or plug-in cards will use the 2U version of Avaya S8800 Server. For MBT, the Avaya S8800 Server is sold in a specific configuration suitable for this solution. Size Midsize Enterprise solution 1U Processor (Intel Xeon Quad Core Nehalem) 5520 2.26 GHz # of CPUs 1 Dynamic RAM 12 GB Hard Disk Drive 3 x 146 GB
For more information on the S8800, including detailed server configurations and software release compatibilities for each application see:

For Communication Manager, HA provides connection preservation for Communication Manager when an external gateway is used. If the optional internal Media Services software gateway is used, connection preservation is possible only if the call is being shuffled directly between the two endpoints. The following figure shows how the two System Platform servers are deployed for High Availability.
All Avaya Aura Editions include appropriate management and administration tools. For details on the management applications available with each Edition see the Avaya Integrated Management 5.2 Pricing section below. Additional Avaya unified communications and contact center solutions, including rich unified messaging, conferencing and web collaboration, video endpoints and bridges, speech and video self service, and market-leading inbound and outbound multimedia contact center applications, can all be incrementally added to Avaya Aura Editions. An extensive array of certified third-party products is also available through the Avaya DevConnect ecosystem.

To purchase the System Platform High Availability (HA) option, order two 228992 and one of 226432. The purchase and use of the software media gateway (Media Services) is optional. MBT fully supports the use of external gateways consistent with CM 5.2. However, H.323 endpoints require at least one of these external Gx50 gateways for call progress tones. Also, SIP endpoints require a Gx50 gateway if announcement-based CM features are needed. Note that the S8510 will be supported by the midsize business template (MBT) if a customer has this server in place, but it must be upgraded to 8GB of RAM and a complete software re-install must be done, including reformatting the hard drive. To re-use an existing S8510 for MBT, additional RAM needs to be purchased and installed to bring the server up to 8GB.

ESS: It is not possible to connect an external ESS server to the MBT main server. The System Platform High Availability option provides very similar redundant failover as the ESS and should be used instead. LSP: Up to 250 LSP remote gateways are supported. Note: These LSPs will not be implemented on System Platform and should be ordered with the same material codes listed in the Communication Manager 5.2 product definition or as output by the ASD configurator. An LSP operating with MBT is licensed differently than other LSPs. Refer to the Licensing section of this document. A few CM licensed features are not available on MBT. Refer to the table in the Appendix for a complete list of all these features.
Capacities Besides the offer limit of 2400 stations, the capacities for CM in MBT are identical to those of CM 5.2.1 running on either the S810 or S8800 servers. A comprehensive table is here: CM 5.2.1 System Capacities Table
Call Center
Call Center supports all the features, functions, and capacities of CC 5.2 when running standalone on an S8510 or S8800 server, with the following notes and exceptions: A few CC licensed features are not available on MBT. Refer to the table in the Appendix for a complete list of all these features.
Capacities CC on MBT has a limit of 2400 elite agents. All other capacities for CC in MBT are identical to those of CC 5.2 running on either the S8510 or S8800 servers. A comprehensive table is here: CM 5.2.1 System Capacities Table

16 Avaya Proprietary & Confidential. Use pursuant to the terms of your signed agreement or Avaya policy.
Media Services
New from Avaya and included in MBT as an optional application is Avaya Aura Media Services, a software IP media gateway built upon proven VoIP technology from our hardware media gateways. For a customer needing only H.323 IP or SIP phones and trunks, it is possible to avoid the cost of purchasing a hardware gateway by utilizing a SIP service provider for connectivity outside the enterprise. Media Services enables a true one-box deployment of Avaya Aura. If analog, TDM, or DCP endpoints and trunks are needed, an external gateway such as the low-cost G430 Gateway can be used and is fully interoperable. There are 256 DSP channel resources available with Media Services. However since this is a software implementation only, it will not support legacy TDM, DCP, T1/E1, analog or any other non-Ethernet based connections. If connections of this type are needed, simply provision an external gateway, such as the G430, to provide connection to legacy endpoints and trunks. Media Services and external gateways are fully interoperable and complement each other: using Media Services and its complement of 256 channels allows the use of a smaller, less expensive external hardware gateway if needed for legacy support. The Media Services gateway appears to Communication Manager as a G650 equipped with four TN2302 Media Processors, a TN2501 (VAL) announcement board, and one TN2312B IP Server Interface (IPSI). Configuration and administration of the Media Services gateway is identical to this G650 configuration, and in fact CM cannot tell the difference. Capacities Media Services capacity covers the range of users for MBT, 101-2400 with typical call patterns.

Utility Services
The Utility Services component of MBT provides key tools and applications useful to support IP telephony in an enterprise and enables MBT to be a one-box solution. The use of these components is optional and the customer may choose to use an alternate implementation or process to accomplish any or all of these functions. HTTP and HTTPS fileserver for IP phones Web Server used to provide firmware download to IP phones. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server Server used to assign IP addresses to IP phones.

Control of IP phone settings via Graphical User Interface (GUI) settings editor Intended for system administrators, this utility provides a GUI interface to create and modify the settings text file which is downloaded to each IP phone. These setting are often considered obscure and this tool provides help text, value verification, and default settings.
When using ASD to design the new MBT system, be sure to include every feature the customer is already using or paid for on his current system. For example, if the customer has CM Express (CME) all the features provided by that offer are also provided by MBT and the customer is entitled to use them. Here are the offer rules regarding upgrades/migrations. The actual material codes are listed in the SAP Material Code section of this document.
Customers running CM 5.0, CM 5.1, CM 5.2, or CME 5.1 (which uses CM 5.1) get a $0 license upgrade Customers running MVE 2.0 (which uses CM 4.0) and who purchased SS+U get a $0 license upgrade Customers running MVE 2.0 (which uses CM 4.0) and who did not purchase SS+U get a reducedcost license upgrade Customers running CM 4.x or earlier or MVE 1.0 (which uses CM 3.x) and who purchased UPPCM which is still valid get a $0 license upgrade Customers running CM 4.x or earlier or MVE 1.0 (which uses CM 3.x) who did not purchase UPPCM get a reduced-cost license upgrade
Installation
Installation Overview
When implementing an Avaya solution, System Platform is first installed on the server hardware, and then the MBT template is installed on System Platform.
SP
In a nutshell, the installation process for a typical solution or template using System Platform:
21 Avaya Proprietary & Confidential. Use pursuant to the terms of your signed agreement or Avaya policy.
Rack mount the server Insert System Platform CD / DVD / USB stick Configure basic IP settings Reboot Log into System Platform Web Console Select required Solution Template from Web download site, DVD or USB stick Template Installation Wizard runs (can be run offline before hardware arrives) Plug in IP phones, configure any gateways, etc.
This process allows the system to be installed and provisioned with users and a basic setup in a target time of 1-2 hours depending on system size.
Licensing
MBT License Design
Communication Manager and Call Center Licensing for Communication Manager in MBT is greatly simplified over that of previous versions of Communication Manager. The total licensed feature set has been reduced from over 300 to around 10:
1. Avaya Aura station licenses: This is the total quantity of stations purchased, with a maximum of
2400.
2. Avaya Aura edition: Avaya Aura is sold in two editions, Standard and Enterprise. For each of these
two editions, Call Center Elite agent licensing is an option, which leads to four type of license codes as seen in the SAP material code tables above. Depending on the edition purchased, and on whether elite agents are used, all the other 300+ CM and CC features are determined and set to known values. A listing of these settings is in the Appendix. It is very important to note that it is not possible to change any of these fixed settings, either though system administration, license file manipulation, or material code purchase. SIP Enablement Services (SES) No license file is required for SES. The MBT implementation of SES includes a default license file set to the maximum number of SIP stations on the platform and the SIP server is pre-configured to be a home/edge combo. It is not possible to change this configuration. Application Enablement Services (AES) AES on MBT is licensed using the same material codes as the standalone AES 5.2. AES 5.2 on MBT includes a TSAPI basic license for each station license purchased for MBT (standard edition and enterprise edition). Additional TSAPI Basic licenses as well as TSAPI Advanced, DMCC, CVLAN and DLG licenses may be purchased for their normal price using the AES 5,2 material codes, Media Services The optional Media Services software gateway requires a purchased license to operate. If Media Services is not purchased, it will not be installed on MBT.

LSP and ESS MBT fully supports up to 250 LSPs in the same server/gateways configurations as CM 5.2.1. These LSPs do not use System Platform and are exactly the same LSPs as deployed in any CM network. ESS servers are not supported by MBT. You should consider System Platform High Availability (HA) as an alternative. LSPs used with an MBT server are not licensed by PLDS or RFA. A license file is not installed. Instead, during configuration of the LSP a special command is run to allow the LSP to operate without a license. For details, see Appendix D in the Installing and Configuring Avaya Aura Solution for Midsize Enterprises document at http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100068119.
PLDS
Avaya Aura MBT uses a new system called PLDS (Product Licensing and Delivery System) for Order to License Management. RFA will not be used for MBT licensing. Benefits include improved customer satisfaction, better revenue protection and license term compliance, reduced business costs, and decreased cycle time for servicing and software delivery. PLDS is accessed at the following website: https://plds.avaya.com Customer features and benefits With RFA, customers had no ability to manage their software licenses. With PLDS, customers have full control over licenses and are, in fact, responsible for their own software licensing. For customers not wanting to get involved in licensing, BusinessPartners or Avaya can act on their behalf. The following customer actions are possible with PLDS, and there is no fee associated with any of these: Activate Software Licenses View Software Entitlements View SW and patches available for download Download Software (including full system images) Upgrade Software without an SAP order (if under SSU) Re-host Licenses
Basic Steps from Order to License 1) 2) 3) 4) Designer configures MBT design using ASD BP or account team converts quote to SAP order After the SAP order clears credit-check, it will flow automatically to PLDS PLDS sends out notification to email address(es) on the order. This will be the end user customers and a BusinessPartner or Avaya account team member. 5) Customer (or BP or Avaya) follows links in the email to access PLDS 6) Customer (or BP or Avaya) uses PLDS to activate purchased licenses and download a license file 7) Customer (or BP or Avaya) uses PLDS to download the software Contact Information For more information on how to use PLDS, training and documentation are available at:

Serviceability
Avaya Aura System Platform provides many simplifications and enhancements to the MBT serviceability model. Most of these are new methods for remote access and alarming, replacing the modem-based SAMP architecture.

Software Support
Software Support and Upgrade coverage is available for Avaya Aura MBT and the coverage is identical to that offered for Communication Manager 5.x. Please refer to the offer documentation for Communication Manager available on the Enterprise Portal for more information. However, the SAP codes to purchase this coverage are unique to MBT and will be configured by ASD.
Hardware Maintenance
For hardware, there are three (3) simplified offers: Remote Hardware Maintenance, Remote Hardware Maintenance with Advance Parts Replacement, and On-Site Hardware Maintenance with a choice of 8 x 5 or 24 x 7 Coverage. All offers include Expert SystemsSM diagnostics and 24 x 7 remote technical support. The Advance Parts and On-Site offers also include equipment replacement. Customers requiring fully comprehensive monitoring will want to combine SS+U with any of the Hardware Maintenance offers. Complete details on Software Support and Hardware Maintenance, including specifics about upgrades to Communication Manager 5.2, are available at http://portal.avaya.com/ under Services / Product & IP Support / Product Support / Offering / Software Support and Hardware Maintenance.

2. What products are not included in the policy? Some components of Avaya Aura are in early releases or are otherwise unsuitable for an extended 3 year support policy. These products are not currently covered: Avaya Aura Session Manager Avaya Aura System Manager Avaya Integrated Management Avaya one-X / UC All-Inclusive bundle Avaya Aura Branch Edition
3. Will other products be added over time? As Avaya Aura components and other products move into maturity they will be considered for coverage under EMSSP. 4. Is EMSSP optional for customers? Yes. Customers are under no obligation to move to EMSSP for those products that are covered under the policy. In addition, customers can choose to move to more recent releases (not covered by EMSSP) as appropriate to their needs. 5. Does this change the Avaya Manufacturers Support Policy? No. Avaya Manufacturers Support Policy continues to exist and is leveraged by most products across the portfolio. EMSSP is incremental to that policy and applies only to certain releases of products being tagged for inclusion under EMSSP. The Extended Manufacturers Software Support Policy is consistent with the terms of the Avaya Manufacturers Support Policy, but provides additional length of support for the included products and components. 6. How does this policy compare to the Avaya Extended Support Policy?
28 Avaya Proprietary & Confidential. Use pursuant to the terms of your signed agreement or Avaya policy.
Avaya Extended Support Policy, also known as Extended Maintenance, provides services support for products that are no longer covered under Manufacturers Support or Extended Manufacturers Support. Extended Maintenance does not provide for escalations into CPE (Tier IV) including patches for newly found problems. 7. How does this affect Software Support and Software Support + Upgrades (SS+U)? Software Support or other forms of software maintenance will be required to leverage EMSSP. SS+U will continue to be of value to many customers that upgrade on a regular basis. The new EMSSP may allow customers to upgrade later in the cycle of support to minimize disruption to their business. 8. Must all components of Avaya Aura adhere to EMSSP? No. Each component can have its own support policy. 9. What if there are extenuating circumstances that force a new dot release? Does that become the EMSSP release? Yes. The new release would become the EMSSP release, but the support period does not start over with the new release. In this situation the Avaya Patch Policy applies, which requires the customer to move to the new dot release within a designated period of time. 10. Does this policy discourage customers from upgrading? Typically, customers upgrade as they see fit based on emerging new functionality that has been created in response to better meeting evolving customer needs. Customers will still be encouraged to buy SS+U since it eliminates the need for capital expense approval, making it easier to purchase. They will still want to upgrade to a newer release as the EMMSP load nears the end of its lifecycle. Keep in mind that customers can always choose to purchase the newest release of software and its dot releases. 11. What type of customer will be interested in EMSSP? Customers that have deployments with multiple adjuncts that require testing against a specific release Customers that want a predictable period of support on the release that they have certified and tested (i.e. 5.2.1) Customers that have long deployment periods many sites that require a common release. Customers that require release maturity over new features
12. Is there an additional charge for EMSSP. No but the customer must have either Software Support (SS) or Software Support plus Upgrades (SS+U), otherwise there is no additional charge.

The offer types with Call Center Elite agents require the separate purchase of elite agents using the codes defined above on this document. The offer types without Call Center Elite agents will not allow the administration of elite agents, even if they are purchased separately. All the other CM features previously in the RFA license file are now hidden and are set by the two features above. The tables below show every CM feature and whether it is available or not in the MBT offer. NOTE: It is not possible to change any of the settings in the tables below, neither with an ordered material code, with CM administration, nor by escalating to IT or product management. If you absolutely must use CM with a different setting, MBT will have to be replaced with separate standalone systems running CM 5.2.1and any other application you were using on MBT. In this case, RFA will allow total control of the CM features.
Please do not contact Avaya to get these features changed. It is not possible. Table A1: ON/OFF License Features
