I have for the last 26 years been a Nortel PBX technician working on Option series and CS1000 platforms. I have been given a task of assisting in upgrading of a AVAYA G450 system with 6 cabinets. I honestly do not know the AVAYA Red product line that well to where I can give accurate info. the system currently has several hundred users with a call center application. What they would like to do is upgrade this system and install VOIP telephone sets. This facility is currently using both 1408 & 1416 digital telephone sets. I know that you will need licenses, some media gateways but what else will be needed? Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You might need less than you think. If you're on 1400 series TDM sets, you've already got all the media gateways necessary to support them on 24 port digital line cards be it MM717 in the G450 gateways or TN2224 cards in G650 gateways.
The newer G450 gateways have DSP cards on the mainboard and the older G650 gateways have TN2302 (64DSP) and TN2602 (320 DSP) boards. Functionally, a G450 and G650 can each support up to 320 DSP.
From a licensing perspective, generally speaking, you license sets - not sets of a certain type, but sets. Once upon a time I'm sure that was different, but nowadays in most situations, the PBX's limits are on stations. Do a 'display system customer' and you'll see on the first pages that your limit on stations is nowhere near your license on IP Phones on the 2nd to last page - that IP Station limit is always 36000 or whatever the total number of sets on the PBX could be.
I won't claim to speak for your DSP needs, but if you're on IP sets and IP trunks, you don't need any for basic phone calls. You usually size 2 or 3 DSPs per call if recorded. Now, if you've got the card space for as many phones as you've got, it's highly likely you've got at least the DSP space required if not the amount of DSPs you need. You can 'dispaly media-gateway 1' or 2,3,4 etc and see what DSP boards are in each G450/430
