Cisco - 7830 Features
The MCS-7830 includes Intel`s next-generation Pentium III, delivers 500 MHz performance, and ships with 256 MB of 100 MHz registered SDRAM, extending the high performance you will require to roll out current and future Cisco AVVID applications. Hardware RAID support for dual 9.1 GB (10,000 rpm) Ultra2 small computer serial interface (SCSI) hot-plug hard drives improves overall system performance. All this power is delivered in a space-saving rack-mountable form factor (5U). The MCS-7830 is intended to run only Cisco CallManager software. Other third-party applications are not supported.
Availability, or the percentage of time that a system is available to provide service, was assumed in old world networks. Availability is a key requirement in the New World networks that Cisco is building today. The high-availability design of the MCS-7830 will deliver a robust platform for your mission-critical Cisco AVVID applications. The MCS-7830 comes standard with a redundant hot-plug power supply and two redundant 9.1 GB SCSI hot-plug hard drives running RAID-1 disk mirroring to ensure maximum availability. A remote management board (RMB) is also included to provide a robust, fail-safe solution for server management. The RMB operation is fully independent from the host hardware (self-contained processor, memory, and battery), host operation system, and network connection. This high level of independence ensures that regardless of server state, administrators and the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers have access to the MCS-7830 from virtually anywhere.
Whether you start your Cisco IP telephony network with five telephones or hundreds, the MCS-7830 server seamlessly allows you to grow your network at your pace. Cisco CallManager may be installed to one or more MCS-7830 servers. In multiserver environments, the Cisco CallManagers are logically coupled through an H.323 signaling interface. Individual MCS-7830s may be backed up by a duplicate, hot-standby MCS-7830, providing complete call-processing redundancy. The Cisco CallManager provides redundancy through automated fail-over of gateways and phones to secondary MCS-7830s in the event of primary server failure. In future releases of Cisco CallManager, you will be able to add additional MCS-7800 series servers to scale your IP telephony solution significantly.
The Cisco CallManager is the call-processing software component of the Cisco AVVID network. Cisco CallManager software features a suite of integrated voice applications that perform voice conferencing, manual Web attendant console, click-to-call, and other functions. In addition, a Windows Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) is available for third-party applications development. The salient feature of all these basic voice applications is that no additional voice-processing hardware is required.
Supplementary and enhanced services such as hold, transfer, forward, conference, multiple line appearances, automatic route selection, speed dial, last-number redial, and other features are extended by Cisco CallManager to IP phones and gateways.
Because Cisco CallManager is a software application, enhancing Cisco CallManager is a matter of upgrading software, thereby avoiding expensive hardware upgrade costs. Further, Cisco CallManager configuration allows all phones, gateways, and applications to be distributed across a routable IP network, providing a single, distributed, virtual telephony network.
