Avaya Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture

Avaya Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture, or Avaya VENA, allows organizations to more easily optimize business applications and service deployments in and between data centers and campuses. VENA, a data networking architecture designed to provide an end-to-end connection from the desktop to the data center. The new architecture features a "Virtual Services Fabric" that spans the network and enables one-touch provisioning for a range of capabilities provided by Virtual Services Networks.

The VENA architecture increases flexibility and scalability by delivering an infrastructure that creates a "private cloud," to deliver always-on content and access to applications in a dramatically simplified model. VENA reduces costs and improves time to service by providing a more efficient way to manage the connectivity between users and their content.

• Secure Router 1000 Series - The Secure Router 1000 Series delivers fast, secure, reliable, and scalable wide-area networking (WAN) access for enterprise branch offices and remote sites.
• Secure Router 2000 Series - Ideal for enterprise branch and remote sites, the Secure Router 2330 provides IP routing, voice gateway and security services in a cost-effective modular platform.
• Secure Router 3000 Series - This router was designed for larger branch and regional enterprise sites that require high-speed IP or Internet connectivity.
• Secure Router 4000 Series - The Secure Router 4134 integrates in a single device multiple networking functions, including IPv4/IPv6 routing, high-performance WAN, high-density Ethernet switching, power over Ethernet, voice media gateway, application hosting, and security.

Wireless Networks

A cost-effective and scalable solution enabling enterprises to deploy wireless coverage. Our Wireless LAN 8100 Series combines the latest 802.11n wireless standard with a new and truly unified wireless/wired architecture that delivers wired performance to wireless users at a lower total cost. The WLAN 8100 Series enables enterprises to achieve new levels of workforce productivity and operational efficiency. It provides greater wireless capacity, performance, and coverage through 802.11n and helps to reduce costs by offering a simplified network infrastructure. The portfolio is optimized to support real-time applications such as voice, UC and video. This series is comprised of access points, controllers and management software

Access Control

Access Control products from Avaya provide end-to-end integrated security and are deployable into virtually any existing environment. These products offer health scans that are integrated into LAN, WLAN, and VPN infrastructures. The Avaya Identity Engines portfolio integrates with the network infrastructure to provide the central policy decision needed to enforce role-based network access control. The Avaya VPN Gateway includes SSL and IPSec secure remote access solutions that can extend the reach of enterprise applications to remote employees, contractors, partners, and customers.

Network Management

Network Management supports data and voice networks by simplifying the management requirements across functional areas. Avaya Network Management products provide comprehensive management capabilities across voice, data, and multimedia applications, providing a fully integrated, single point of contact that provides a unified view of the network, while streamlining workflow and reducing operations and maintenance costs. This fully integrated suite of tools provides unified management capabilities across data and voice networks—including switches, routers, and call servers. It offers a single view of the network, allowing businesses to streamline and integrate workflows. The tools also reduce installation, configuration and maintenance time.

That deep integration allows common components (such as user data and database information) to be shared without requiring the same definitions and configurations be repeated for each application. The software helps organizations quickly isolate and troubleshoot events, detect and report on network traffic flows, and configure filters and devices. Time to resolution can be reduced.  Supporting heterogeneous network infrastructures, this comprehensive toolset allows companies to more effectively address the management of faults, configuration, performance and security.
