Avaya’s Aura Architecture now enables enterprises to unify disparate voice systems of ANY brand to communicate using a common IP-based WAN infrastructure using SIP – even if the legacy phone systems don’t support VoIP.
Using direct SIP integration and low-cost SIP gateways for legacy systems, the Avaya Aura solution creates an exciting way to unify messaging and dialing plans among multiple branch offices, eliminating the need for expensive, dedicated tie lines between branch facilities. Add in SIP trunking to your carrier over your existing Internet T1 or MPLS and you have an incredible synergy of technologies that can result in greater operational efficiency, unprecedented resiliency, and lower total cost of ownership.
The Aura platform also positions you to implement a gradual deployment of voice over IP telephony to the desktop while continuing to leverage your existing legacy phone systems.
The diagram below contrasts a traditional, multi-vendor, legacy deployment with seamless integration that Aura makes possible among multiple sites (on the right) – even when each site employs a phone system from a different manufacturer:
BEFORE AFTER
You don’t need to have international locations to benefit from Aura. If you have “inherited” various phone systems either through company acquisitions or through reuse of existing phone systems that were that were onsite when your organization moved in, you can also benefit from the Avaya Aura architecture. The Avaya Aura Session Manager facilitates a unified dialing plan and unified messaging – technologies that were previously not an option using standalone legacy systems. More importantly, you can leverage your existing WAN data links to carry Voice over IP and reduce monthly telecom charges and long distance charges by eliminating the expensive tie-lines.
