THE VALUE PROPOSITION – CUSTOMER FEEDBACK !!
Accelerate the business while driving out complexity
Increase capacity and scale in less footprint “With the Pod Fx we’ve been able to consolidate 60 servers down to 10 – taking a
tremendous amount of infrastructure costs out of our budget” – large ISP in NA
Improved time to service; rapid, risk free deployment “The Pod Fx shortened our time-to-market significantly. We were able to turn up live agents on
the system within days of being deployed.” – CSP in NA
Reduced TCO and simplified operations “Over 5 years the Pod Fx solution will save us $600,000 over a DIY approach. We
will then able to pass along this cost savings to our customers.” – CSP in NA

GEO-REDUNDANCY: FLEXIBLE OPTIONS
Options for geo-redundancy
– Interconnection of Pod’s; including 4200 / 2400 combinations
– ESS-appliance for redundancy
Pick and choose what applications you want to run geo-redundant (full suite or only most mission critical)
Independently manage solutions so that there is no dependency on either data center.
Integrate Independent Distribution Facility (IDF), Main Distribution Facilities (MDF), and Data Centers for distributed functionality

MANAGEMENT SERVER CONSOLE
Centralized tool for installation, upgrade and maintenance on Pod Fx
Software and firmware repository for Pod infrastructure apps, including;
– Avaya Aura, VMware, Pod Orchestration Suite and 3rd party devices
Enables rapid deployment of new applications in the field
Includes Pod Utility Module (PUM) which
supports:
– Smart upgrade – automatically checks if an infrastructure application upgrade is needed and looks at compatibility

BUILD VERSUS BUY: KEY CONSIDERATIONS
1. Time – Based on Customer input, 9-12 months is the average time it takes
to build a complete virtualized environment for real-time applications
2. Resourcing – Does your staff have the necessary skill sets to not only build the
environment but also properly maintain that environment? What
training is required?
3. Lifecycle management – Upgrades, patching, regression testing, compatibility matrixes, etc.
Maintenance of the virtualized environment requires skilled architect
/ engineering resources.
“Building our virtualized contact center environment took 9 months and A LOT of headaches. We really see the value in the Pod Fx Solution”
– Large North America Airline Company

Pod Fx Savings & Benefits
Pre-Integrated,
Turnkey Solution
Pre-built and certified Avaya full-stack virtualized solution reduces implementation time
Reduced
Infrastructure
Facilities costs reduced with virtualization: power, real estate, cooling, networking equipment
Reduced Maintenance Support costs reduced: single call support, centralized management entire solution including
infrastructure. Infrastructure can be upgraded or repaired without incurring downtime.
Reduced Training Reduced training and salary costs with the delivery of a pre-built and tested solution
Simplified Upgrades Ease of solution expansion – servers, network, and storage can be added as needed. Solution
upgrades simplified with no hardware dependencies.
Improved High
Availability
Combining Avaya product HA with VMware HA adds an additional level of fault tolerance with
the ability to restore components to normal operation in the event of a server failure.
Expansion/
Migration Flexibility Facilities costs reduced for minor changes or additional components to the solution. Migration to
newer technology is greatly simplified, i.e. newer servers.
