Hi All,
We're in the initial research stages of replacing our Avaya Index with a Voip solution. Currently, we have:
HQ - 280 Users - Avaya Index
Branch 1 - 75 Users - IP Office
Branch 2 - 40 Users - Avaya Index
Branch 3 - 30 Users - IP Office
Branch 4 - 10 Users - IP Office
Branch 5 - 4 Users - IP Office
These are approximates, but we currently have around 450 users which doesn't give much scope for expansion. I was hoping to take advantage of the IPO systems we already have but they have a limit of 500 users with SCN. SCN would have been neccesary for the directory sharing capabilities and centralised management. So alternatively, we're now looking at CM.
We need call recording functionality too, which we would have got with IPO's VM Pro. Is something similar available for a reasonable price for CM?
Can we link IPO to CM easily to save us upgrading the branches?
If not, then is the linking of the CM solutions easy? Could be achieve centralised management from the HQ?
what I'm initially thinking is
HQ - G450/S8500
Branch 1 - G450\S8300
Branch 2 - G350\S8300
Branch 3 - G350\S8300
Branch 4 - G250\S8300
Branch 5 - G250\S8300
Would any more equipment (apart from phones and switches) be needed for infrastructure (excluding Applications)? Also, regarding switches, can any PoE switch be used. Any model from any vendor?
Thanks in advance!
