Co-resident: Application server. & Media server. RTP. SIP. call control. Let s look at some common deployment options for Avaya Aura Conferncing. We will start with the simplest which is Standard Edition. As I have mentioned various times, this is a single-server offering so the deployment is straight-forward but options are limited. The only time another server will be involved with Standard Edition is if a UC integration to MSFT or IBM demands it. Now lets look at a few common deployment option for Enterprise Edition. In the first, I am showing the a 2 server deployment with the bridge and media server co-resident on one server with a server for an application such as the CRS on another server. A deployment such as this is common if capacity demands it and no redundancy is desired. As noted in the comment box at the bottom, various resiliency options exist. You can hae N+N redundancy in this configuration providing an acive/standby bridge that allows for automatic fail-over. With this there is an active bridge on one server, standby bridge on another, and single CRS, so it becomes a 3 server deployment. This is the most common Enterprise Deployment as it provides a fair level of resilliency with a small footprint. As I mentioned when looking at the technical specifications earlier, the audio bridge and media servers can be de-coupled. This allows for higher capacity especially when codecs other than G.711 are involved. To achieve the maximum of 4000 callers in a single conference you need to move to a pyramid configuration with at least two media servers. In a pyramid configuration the media servers can be deployed with N+1 redundancy so that you have one hot standby media server in case any one of the active servers is brought down. To go above 4000 ports per site you can deploy multiple bridges. A single CRS can work across them. This is known as a multi-cabinet deployment. With any of the Enterprise Deployment types you can have a remote Disaster Recovery bridge setup to mirror the environment and take over if there is a major outage at a location.
