difference between S87010 and S8720?
- Thread starter kabudoy
- Start date
processing power is the main difference. The 8720 can provide the memory duplication feature completely in software. You have a choice of doing the dupliction in software or purchasing the dedicated hardware card and using it. the 8710 does not give you that choice.
A 8720 using software duplication is the same as an 8710. If you use hardware duplication then you get to use the extra horse power for more call processing.

Per Avaya
the S8720 Media Server in conjunction with the release of Avaya Communication Manager 3.1 introduces a Software Duplication option, a more powerful processor and increased storage, while retaining the 2U vertical form factor of the existing S87XX platform. As a result, the S8720 Media Server with hardware duplication delivers at least a 50% improvement in BHCC (Busy Hour Call Completion) over a similarly configured S8710 Media Server.
So you also have a much better BHCC limits on the 8720.

Yes as stated in the prose above 
"As a result, the S8720 Media Server with hardware duplication delivers at least a 50% improvement in BHCC (Busy Hour Call Completion) over a similarly configured S8710 Media Server."
I was just trying to add that to your post in case the need of the original poster is for a high volume Call center etc.

I remember when the 8700's were introduced, having the bhcc increasing significantly over the G3R which was already a monster to begin with. Are there really that many companies requiring this kind of horsepower? Or are the new IP capabilitys forcing the horsepower increase due to migrating multiple non-localized systems into single 8700's utilizing remote gateways and causing much larger single systems than were previously implemented?

Lopes it is the latter. With the advent of ESS and the advantages of centralized systems (license pooling admin et al) the size of many of these systems are growing.
It is still less common to see a system that needs that kind of horsepower....but more are coming online due to the consolidation of stand alone sites into single distributed systems encompassing many locations.

It was my understanding the increased horsepower was mainly geared toward VoIP? I could also see major call centers that use ESS.

mikeydidit,
i think the increased horsepower is mainly geared toward increased size of the systems, no matter ip-based or not. somewhen next year cm4 should be released and i think there will be significant increase in capacities as well as more efficient decentralyzed processing scheme. or it may appear in cm5, who knows... only avaya labs i guess.
