We have an extensive installed base dating back through the BayStack brand. “Why haven’t I heard of Avaya switches?” Avaya offers unique differentiation when sold as part of an IP Office solution that 3rd party vendors can’t meet. “My company is only willing to look at the top 3 switching vendors” Avaya offers the best value for money in the industry. Our price points are comparable, however, we offer valuable features (PoE+, stacking, LTW, etc) that preserve customers investment & keep costs low “Edge switches are a commodity. I want the cheapest option”

- #6: From an installation perspective – we simplify the installation process through a CLI Install script for quick and easy set up. For installations with IP Office we are even further simplifying the process for deployment scenarios where there may not be a data centric individual on site. We will be coming out with an installation script called “Run IP Office” will automates the entire set up process by automatically setting up the right VLANs, provisioning all the IP phones and ensuring that QoS is provisioned correctly between the switch, the call server and the phones. This ensures fast and error free deployment according to Avaya best practices. It also ensures that for large rollouts in multiple branch offices that there is consistency between the different locations.

- #12: In terms of what the value is for partners – this is the first Avaya networking product specifically targeted for the SME market and the branch office.. meeting both the price points and the feature requirements. It opens up selling opportunities for our partners by having a small form factor, cost effective Gigabit switch. It the first fanless Ethernet Switch in our portfolio so its really going to open up opportunities in the education, hospitality and retail sectors in particular. It allows for partners to get a greater share of wallet through network attach opportunities with IP office – A big part of our GTM will be through ERS 3500s attached to IPO. From a GTM perspective we are working on simple value props for sales and channels, simplifying ordering of the products together and testing and validating best practice configurations. And we will be publishing a technical solutions guides. We also feel that with PoE+ and a high power budget on our small Gig switch we will have the opportunity to attach ERS 3500 to WLAN 8100 sales to power access points and have investment protection for when 3x3 802.11n access points or 802.11ac higher powered access points come to market. The other value is to make it easier for our partner to install, manage and support Avaya solutions by having a pre-validated interoperable solution that just works; which can support features such as plug and play for IP phones. We will also be coming out with a quick start switch installation script called “run IP Office” that will automate the set-up process so voice centric individuals will be able to deploy the ERS 3500 in conjunction with a UC deployment quickly and easily. Also simplifying things for the partner will be having Avaya as the single source for technical support and being able to access best practice configurations to guarantee the performance of the end to end solution.
