Avaya has unwrapped a new model of its Collaboration Pod designed for mid-size enterprises.
The Collaboration Pod 2400 Series combines applications, servers, storage, networking and management components in an easy-to-deploy, ready-to-operate package.
Avaya is also launching a fast-track Collaboration Pod onboarding programME for qualified Avaya channel partners to help them deliver the new Collaboration Pod 2400 to customers, as well as a demo programme for customers and channel partners.
Based on solutions from Avaya, HP, EMC, and VMware, the fully-integrated, tested Avaya Collaboration Pod 2400 can reduce the time to service for Engagement Solutions to weeks from months, claimed the vendor.
The Collaboration Pod is customised to the requirements of each customer and can be expanded as needs change.
Authorised channel partners can provide 'single source' support for all Collaboration Pod components, simplifying software upgrades and eliminating the need for support coverage from multiple vendors.
"Midsize enterprises understand the strategic value of technology, but typically have more financial and skills support restraints than larger enterprises," said Liam Kiely, VP, Networking Infrastructure, Avaya.
"The Collaboration Pod 2400 enables them to rapidly utilise our Engagement Solutions via a streamlined deployment model."
