Nortel CS 1000 VoIP Solution: Power Consumption versus Cisco MCS 7835 VoIP Solution

Abstract

Nortel commissioned Tolly to evaluate the power consumption of their CS 1000 VoIP solution versus the Cisco MCS 7835 VoIP solution.

Tolly engineers monitored and recorded the power draw of all critical infrastructure components of the Solutions Under Test (SUTs) in an idle state. These observations were then extrapolated to obtain the operational costs, power savings, and the resultant CO2 emission savings for a 1,000-user deployment.
