An Avaya S8300 Media Server with a G700, G350, or G250 Media Gateway and the gateway’s
media modules converge voice and data into one infrastructure. The S8300 Media Server is an
Intel Celeron-based processor that resides in one of these media gateways. The server has the
same dimensions and shape as a media module.
In addition, an S8300 Media Server can serve as a local survivable processor (LSP). See
