Does a survivable remote have to be an embedded S8300 server? Can a survivable remote be a VMware server?
 
In the Avaya Aura® Communication Manager Survivability Options manual there is a table with embedded on S8300E or a Simplex Survivable Remote on Dell™ PowerEdge™ R620 / Dell™ PowerEdge™ R630 / HP ProLiant DL360p G8 / HP ProLiant DL360 G9
 
it can. even if on a s8300E, it's still vmware. same image.
 
There are some nuances between a survivable core and a survivable remote which you should be aware of.

A survivable remote supports a branch session manager. A survivable core does not.

A survivable core and a survivable remote can run on servers however the S8300 only supports the survivable remote embedded
profile. This may change in the next release (Aura 10) however still no feature roadmap or technical specs.

If you configure a survivable remote the link between the branch session manager and survivable remote will "standardize" the domain to a single SIP domain when failing over. When configuring a Branch Session Manager with a survivable remote you are not required to configure a link from the CM to the BSM. The configuration of the survivable remote Communication Manager will include the BSM information.

If you configure a survivable core with a session manager you will need to configure the link between the CM Core instances and the Session Manager and configure trunking/routing.

Starting with Aura 7.x all CM/SM/BSM instances are running on top of an ESXi host. ASP120/AVP is the Avaya OEM version. ASP130 is a Dell VMware image. You can also run on customer provided VMware.
