Aspect pitching Nortel customers
Posted by Michael McNamara in AVAYA, Nortel on March 7, 2010
Over the past few weeks you may have noticed the Aspect advertisements (see copy left) all over this blog and the discussion forums. This evening I decided to take a look at Aspect’s advertising campaign and fine out what all the excitement was about.
Aspect is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, March 9th at 11:00AM EST / 8:00AM PST hoping to discuss with current and future potential customers how the integration of the Nortel and Avaya product lines might affect them.
Aspect is a well known provider of large contact center solutions. I hope to personally listen in and see what Aspect has to say. I’d be curious if/how Aspect will also be pushing their Unified Communications solutions.
Cheers!
Avaya ERS 8600 Software 7.0 Draft Release Notes
Posted by Michael McNamara in AVAYA, EthernetRtngSwitch, Nortel on February 25, 2010
You’ll recall that back in December 2009 I wrote a post about the upcoming release of 7.0 software the the Ethernet Routing Switch 8600. At that time the software was in Controlled Availability (CA) and wasn’t expected to transition to General Availability (GA) until March 2010.
It seems that Nortel/Avaya are starting to get their ducks in a row as a draft version of the release notes hit Nortel’s support website over the past few days.
Here’s one known issue that grabbed my eye while browsing the release notes;
MLT/SMLT limitation(s)
Q01971344
In the case of a full-mesh SMLT configuration between 2 Clusters running OSPF (more likely an RSMLT configuration) because of the way that MLTs work in regards to CP generated traffic, it is highly recommended that the MLT port (or ports) that form the square leg of the mesh (versus the cross connect) be placed on lowered number slot/port, than the cross connections. The reason for this is because CP generated traffic is always sent out on the lowered numbered ports en active. Using this recommendation will keep some OSPF adjancey up if all the links of the IST fail. Otherwise the switches which have a failed IST could lose complete OSPF adjancey to both switches in the other Cluster and therefore become isolated.
Cheers!
Avaya Integrated Avaya-Nortel Roadmap in Philadelphia Postponed Again
Posted by Michael McNamara in AVAYA on February 24, 2010
In case you haven’t heard the Avaya Integrated Avaya-Nortel Roadmap in Philadelphia has been canceled yet again due to the impending snow storm.
The event has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 9th.
Who wants to bet that we’ll have yet another snow storm, blizzard even, on March 9th?
Cheers!
