Technology center located in Silicon Valley
3rd major MSNI product development center
Well-recognized leadership in VPN hardware and software technology
Leading Avaya efforts in development of new security capabilities
Development programs spanning multiple platforms across Avaya
Development encompassing hardware platforms, software, and policy management
Enables Flexible Workforce Solutions: Providing built-in support for communications applications that is as transparent as possible, with minimal impact on normal operations and deployment of applications.
Making Security Pervasive: Security becomes an integral part of the infrastructure, designed to accommodate a wide range of communications access devices able to easily adapt to new communications models and able to scale to accommodate workforce solutions that provide multiple ways to access network resources.
Reducing Complexity: As 3rd wave communications solutions enable workforce mobility, the span of the communications network will become increasingly distributed. At the same time, the management and enforcement of security policies, and the ability to remotely support such a workforce must be unified, and be able to remain centralized.

14. Extension to Cellular: Mature technology provides foundation for Avaya one-X™ Mobile One Number / One Voicemail
Maintain your corporate identity while out of the office for both inbound and outbound calls
Calls missed on your mobile device are routed back to the corporate voice mail system – No more checking multiple mailboxes for missed calls
Simulring
Ring multiple devices when your office phone rings to minimize missed calls and increase responsiveness
Seamless transition between Office Phone & Mobile Device
Minimize the use of cellular minutes in the office by easily moving cellular calls to your office phone
Supports all mobile devices
15. Fully Mobile Extension to Cellularfor Off-PBX Services #1: An incoming call to the desk phone, rings both the desk and mobile device..
#2: Voicemail will be left in the enterprise voicemail so the user only has one voicemail to check
#3: With one-X mobile user can access PBX features like conference, transfer, call park, etc.. With a graphical interface on the phone. These can be accessed with Extension to Cellular too, but requires access codes and are generally impractical.
#4: Outgoing calls made from the mobile device, with both extension to cellular (with an access code) and one-X mobile, will appear to come from the desk phone.
#5: Imagine a user driving into work when they get a call to their desk phone. They answer it on their mobile phone and when they get to their desk they can pass the call to their deskphone with the caller never knowing! The user gets the improved ergonomics of the desk phone and the enterprise saves on service provider minutes

16. Innovations in Extension to Cellular 8.0*
17. Mobile Cost Control and Savings THIS SLIDE MUST BE SHOWN ANIMATED
The first case: a UK user wants to call the U.S. from their mobile device. Without one-x mobile/Extension to cellular it’s an expensive proposition!
With one-X Mobile/Extension to cellular (with an access code), the mobile device calls the users local PBX in the UK, and the PBX dials the international call. The recepient sees the users desk phone and the enterprise gets a significant cost savings!
The second case: A different user in the US with one-X Mobile Dual Mode, wants to dial internationally while on campus. Using the Avaya client, the mobile device connects with the PBX over WLAN and the call is placed via the PBX.

45. Intelligent Presence
Presence is a key enabler of getting to the right person at the right time using the right medium. Presence helps employees spread across branches, remote locations, and teleworkers connect with one another more easily Combining more forms of presence increases the accuracy of understanding one’s availability, willingness, and capability of communicating. In a dash board type manner, one can see the status of various communication channels for an individual. One can see the likelihood of reaching an associate by phone, IM, or video, or how responsive they are likely to be to email.
Aggregated presence is supplied by the Avaya Intelligent Presence Server (IPS). In the first release it combines telephony presence from Avaya Communication Manager with Instant Messaging Presence from Microsoft Office Communicator. Subsequent releases of IPS will provide and combine more sources of presence such as Microsoft Exchange (Calendar), IBM Lotus Sametime (IM) and Domino (Calendar), and other forms of presence.“On a Call” will be indicated if the user is on their desk phone, one-X Communicator, one-X Portal, IP Softphone, one-X Desktop, VPNremote Phone, an inbound call redirected via Extension to Cellular, an outbound call initiated via one-X Mobile.
Status may show: Available, Busy, Unavailable, Out of Office, or Offline. Work Mode information is passed along indicating whether an individual is working in the office, at home, is mobile, or is traveling. System generated messages such as “Away”, “On a Call”, “In a Conference”, “Hosting a Conference”, “In a Meeting”, “Out of Office”
A brief text note can be used to advise associates of one’s status or current priorities.
