Overview

Mitel Communications Director (MCD) provides businesses of all sizes with a scalable,

feature-rich communications system using a single stream of software. MCD is designed to

meet the needs of businesses that have from 5 to 65,000 users, whether they are single-site

deployments or multi-site networks that span many countries.

Platforms

MCD is a modular, scalable system that runs on the following hardware platforms:

• Mitel 3300 ICP controllers, including AX, CX II and CXi II

• Industry Standard Servers (ISS)

Modular Platform Design Provides Scalability and Flexibility

Deploying MCD on the above-mentioned platforms enables customers to meet current

requirements and invest in a system that can grow with them as their business expands. The

core call control features are the same regardless of the hardware platform, and functionality

(such as trunk support) can be provided through field-installed modules for some platforms.

This hardware commonality ensures that as a business grows the majority of a customer’s

investment is protected when a controller chassis is upgraded.

About MCD

You can deploy MCD to support a broad spectrum of site configurations. For example, you could

• Implement a highly centralized solution at the head office with the call control and IP tele-

phony services delivered over Wide Area Network (WAN) connections to small branch

offices.

• Configure larger branch offices with main controllers on site to provide local support.

• Cluster an entire network of controllers to function as one large system.
