VCX Hardware Configurations 19
There are two basic configuration options, single-site and multi-site
systems. The hardware servers in each option type run the VCX operating
system. Currently supported hardware platforms include:
■V7000-series systems with IBM X306m or IBM X346 servers
■V6000 Integrated Branch Communications servers
■V6100 Integrated Branch Communications servers
The next two sections describe typical examples of single-site and
multi-site configurations.
Single-Site
Configurations
This section describes two possible single-site configurations.
■One Pair of Servers
This configuration includes one pair of servers. The primary server and
the secondary server both run the IP Telephony and IP Messaging
configuration.
The Call Records Service is enabled on the primary server only.
■Two Pair of Servers
This configuration includes two pairs of servers:
■Two servers run the IP Telephony software configuration. The Call
Records Service is enabled on the primary server only.
■Two servers run the IP Messaging configuration.
Multi-Site
Configurations
Multi-site configurations can be configured several ways:
■Multiple regional offices, all of which are self-contained but
interconnected. Each office includes two servers each running the IP
Telephony and IP Messaging configuration. One of the offices also has
a Call Records Server which runs on a separate server and provides
billing information (CDRs) to all of the offices. There are no branch
offices.
■A single regional office that supports one or more branch offices.
■Multiple regional offices, each of which supports one or more branch
offices.
One of the regional offices contains:
■Two servers running the Call Server configuration
