Avaya Expands Collaboration Solutions for the Midmarket

Avaya IP Office R9.0 expands to solidly address the needs of midmarket companies with up to 2,000 employees, adds increased BYOD flexibility, and offers virtualization with support for VMware to provide a wide range of flexible, deployment options.

Avaya IP Office R9.0:
● supports up to 2,000 users in a single software platform capable of deploying in as little as one hour
● Adds support for VMware® to increase choice of highly flexible deployment options
● Delivers easy access to largest range of endpoints for anywhere working

Avaya has introduced new software designed from the ground up to streamline the way midmarket companies collaborate and communicate.  At the center of the Avaya midmarket strategy is the Avaya IP Office 9.0.  This introduction is part of the $2.5B investment Avaya has made over the past six years to transform from a telecommunications provider to a software and services led company focused on delivering collaboration and communications solutions that are open, mobile and centered on the cloud.

With over 12 million users already installed worldwide, Avaya IP Office now provides midmarket companies with a cost-effective, powerful platform for growth that delivers nearly 30% lower total cost of ownership compared to other solutions. Through tightly woven integration, Avaya IP Office offers a seamless collaboration experience across voice, video, and mobility, providing end users with secure, easy access from their choice of devices.

Avaya IP Office 9.0 now offers:

Simplified, Increased Scale – Avaya IP Office 9.0 software easily and cost-effectively scales to 2,000 users (previously 1,000 users) at up to 32 locations, delivering exceptional value and low total cost of ownership.

Virtualization – IP Office 9.0 adds virtualized software running VMware vSphere 4.x or 5.x software. IP Office software can now run inside a virtual machine, on a dedicated server, an appliance, or a combination of these.  This adds flexibility while enabling customers to match the deployment method to their infrastructure plans and objectives.

Simplified Management – IP Office Web Manager for Server Edition provides a consolidated management view of a multi-site IP Office solution through a one-time log-in to a single URL. Web Manager allows access to a range of servers, along with solution-wide user management, and simplified management while enabling midmarket companies to reduce administrative overhead.

Support for the Enterprise Branch – IP Office 9.0 can cost-effectively support multiple branch office deployment options: standalone, independent branch or connected to the Avaya Aura® network in distributed and centralized branch modes while being managed by Avaya Aura System Manager.

Avaya’s collaboration solutions for midmarket companies make up one of the most comprehensive portfolios in the market for this segment. Avaya IP Office can be augmented with the following:

The Avaya Video Collaboration Solution for IP Office, which uniquely combines desktop, mobile, and HD room-based video collaboration in an affordable package.
