The next-generation Avaya Application Solutions portfolio powered by Avaya Communication Manager delivers on the promise of IP by offering a no-compromise approach to convergence in terms of reliability and functionality. “No compromise” means that Avaya allows customers to migrate to IP Telephony without compromising on features (all features are maintained or expanded), interfaces (all existing telephones and lines are supported, along with new IP Telephones, Softphones, and IP trunks), or reliability. Avaya Communication Manager is the centerpiece of Avaya Application Solutions.

Communication Manager runs on a variety of Avaya servers, provides control to Avaya Media Gateways and Avaya Communications Devices, and can operate in a distributed or network call processing environment. Figure 1: Avaya Application Solutions on page 17 and

Figure 2: Communication Manager traffic flow on page 18 summarize the Avaya Application Solutions.
