Avaya Aura is easy to purchase and deploy through Avaya Aura Editions
- Branch Edition
- Standard Edition
- Enterprise Edition.
These software options bring together all the functionality needed for common customer situations with a simple, per user licensing fee. Hardware (servers, gateways, and phones) is flexibly purchased in addition to software licenses, depending on the redundancy, scalability and geographic distribution needs of each customer. These solutions allow different combinations of software elements to run on one or more hardware servers depending upon the needs of each client. The software Editions retain consistent functionality across all hardware choices.
Gateway distribution and configuration depend on availability and capacity needs. Peak Communication engineers assist customers in designing the right hardware configurations to meet their business needs.
All Avaya Aura Editions include appropriate management and administration tools. The following can all be incrementally added to Avaya Aura Editions
- Avaya unified communications and contact center solutions (including unified messaging, conferencing and web collaboration)
