Abstract

Avaya commissioned The Tolly Group over the last two years to benchmark the performance, and evaluate the features/functions, of products that serve every facet of the enterprise network, from the data center to the remote branch office.

The aim was to measure, objectively, the performance, and evaluate the resiliency and TCO, of Avaya products versus products from Cisco Systems, Inc. and HP ProCurve. Tolly Group engineers examined products for the data center, for campus LANs, for wide area networks, branch offices, and also for application acceleration products to speed the performance of business applications.

This report provides a retrospective of Avaya-focused reports dating from 2005 to 2007, with emphasis on showing how Avaya addresses these factors to offer products that surpass competitors.

Testing was conducted from 2005 through 2007.
