Strata CIX General Description 08/14 73
Strata Media Application Server
and Integrated Voice Mail Cards 8
Strata Media Application Server (MAS)
The MAS allows multiple applications to be combined on a single device. Applications include
Auto Attendant, Voice Mail, Fax, Automated Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech, Unified
Messaging, Interactive Voice Response, Automatic Call Distribution and Reporting, Web browser-
based Personal and System Administration, Web-based Telephone Applications, FeatureFlex
adaptability tools, and third-party applications.
Because it reduces the need for multiple servers to support each application separately, Strata
Media Application Server dramatically decreases the cost and complexity of deploying multiple
applications.
The Media Application Server uses Host Media Processing (HMP) technology from Dialogic.
With HMP the MAS does not require expensive dedicated boards for voice processing
resources. Instead, HMP uses the host CPU for media processing.
When both ACD and Stratagy ES licensed and running on the same MAS, then HMP does
require specific configurations; up to 16 HMP Voice Mail ports in addition to 16 HMP ACD
announcement ports can be supported.
If ACD is installed on MAS without Stratagy, up to 32 HMP announcement ports are
available. All port expansion is done with simple software license upgrades.
If Stratagy is installed on MAS without ACD, up to 32 HMP voice mail ports are available.
The Media Application Server comes in two hardware form factors:
2U rackmount platform
Desktop computer (MicroMAS)
2U Rackmount Platform
The 2U platform (shown right) offers the full
premium of features and applications in a
robust rackmount platform. It is equipped
with a Pentium IV 2.8 Ghz CPU that
supports up to 32 ports of IP voice
connectivity to the Strata CIX. The optional
fax modem boards, required to support fax
features in the 2U MAS, are available in 1, 4,
and 8 port configurations. The 2U MAS can
be equipped with up to two fax modem boards, for a maximum fax modem port capacity of 16.
The 2U MAS platform is also available in, factory equipped, RAID 1 or RAID 5 hard drive storage
configurations.
