APPLICATION ENABLEMENT
Call up our head of Engineering, SVP Gary Barnett.
So Gary, what is application enablement?
(Flip slide)
APPLICATION ENABLEMENT -
COLLABORATION ENVIRONMENT
“Personal Assistant” and “Seamless Transfer” user case
Challenge keeping up with different types of meetings on the go (bridge numbers, host keys, passwords)
Gary introduces Personal Assistant
Click, first image appears
Talk about the value proposition (one conference number, no need to remember anything else, quick voice guided setup)
Perfect to get on a conference call in car on the way to work
Click, second image appears (hands-free, voice guided)
Discuss problem of dropping voice call on phones and rejoin on desktop as video calls when walking from car to office
Gary introduces Seamless Transfer
Click, third image appears
Plantronics proximity kicks in when in the office.
Voice call on phone seamlessly transfers to his desktop as a video Scopia call; voice call on phone drops off. (no need to rejoin meeting, no drop calls)
Perfect solution for business professionals who are in meetings all day and constantly on the go
(Pierre-Paul thanks Gary)
NETWORKING AND FABRIC SWITCHING
When we talk about Cloud, Mobility, Infrastructure and Applications, they all require a solid network infrastructure and foundation to become an architecture for Collaboration.
To help me tell you more about that, let me ask the king of the Fabric, Mr. Networking himself, Jean Turgeon, or JT, to come out and join me.
JT, so why would people focused on Collaboration, voice and video, care about networking?

The Old Network Model Doesn’t Work Anymore
We have some very exciting thing happening with our Fabric Connect.
Technology eliminates root cause of the headaches
Another capability within the network is required a protocol is layered on top.
As # protocols gets larger - the more complex and unstable the network gets.
Fabric Connect eliminates all these layers and protocols but enables all the capabilities.
L2 services, L3 services, routing and multicast services with a single technology.
Benefits: simpler network designs, management and configuration; faster network recovery times
Diagram on left a simple network. Other networks are more complex shown
Other vendors fabric solutions are only replacing the grey and blue boxes (legacy L2 protocols)
We are currently the only vendor in the industry today that can also replace L3 services, routing and multicast.
AVAYA OLYMPIC FIRSTS
Key Points:
Avaya is the proud sponsor of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi Russia. This is an interesting honor. On one hand, it is a tremendous opportunity, on the other hand, our network will be in the world’s largest glass house.
This Olympic event supported:
3 billion TV viewers
25,000 volunteers
3,000 reporters and media personnel vying for network services
Billions of internet customers
This honor, however, wasn’t earned in the RFP. This honor was earned in 2010 in Vancouver, Canada. We were the sole provider for what was dubbed the first “All IP games”. The games went off flawlessly.
First BYOD/Guest environments in the world
40,000 “guests”
WLAN mainstream (80%)
Villages to Venues
First IPTV – Converged Multicast
First Fabric Olympics
First free Wi-Fi for Olympic Committee
Virtual Data Center design
Secure Virtual Services (Virtualization)
Distributed L2/L3 Virtual Design
Achieve scale with security
