the virtualized network
Virtualization of any enterprises server
infrastructure offers benefits in hardware
consolidation and system management.
The network environment is changing, the
model for server infrastructure is becoming
one of not just better utilization of hardware
but also sharing the hardware over multiple
individual applications. However, even
with the benefits, moving real-time
communications to virtualized servers can
offer performance restrictions. Many
enterprises have delayed consolidating their
communication servers because of real-time
issues. Avaya provides a major step forward
in the virtualization of the communications
environment with the integration of real-time
Avaya Aura
features and
collaboration solutions, intelligent options to
accelerate any business.
