S8500 Server
The Avaya S8500 Server Platform is a simplex Linux-based server running Avaya
Communication Manager software that replaces the DEFINITY SI and R processing platforms
for small sites and for customers who do not require a duplicated server complex.
The S8500 supports all of the Avaya media gateways. The S8500 has the capacity to support
up to 64 IP-connected port networks. Up to 3 MCC1 port networks can be directly connected.
The S8500 can be configured as a primary controller, a Local Survivable Processor (LSP), or as
an Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS).
The S8500 Server allows for a seamless migration from DEFINITY SI and R platforms.
However, the S8500 will not support traditional circuit-switched Center Stage Switch or ATM
Port Network Connectivity.

Avaya S8700-series Server, fiber-PNC configuration
The S8700-series Server with an MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway is targeted at Avaya’s largest
customers. These customers are typically experiencing rapid growth, and looking for ways to
consolidate their network. These are customers who require high-end applications such as
DEFINITY Call Center Solutions, CTI applications, Unified Messaging, multimedia
conferencing, and voice/data network integration, and are evolving to an IP-intensive
environment. This solution supports up to 44,000 telephones.
This solution is also targeted at smaller customers who made an investment in DEFINITY, and
are looking for a smooth transition into industry-standard processors that will enable expanded
communications capabilities.
The S8700-series Server is a large-office solution with the server in the headquarter locations
and optional servers/gateways in the branch offices. The option of duplicated headquarters with
branch and remote offices is also available.
