With the flexible architecture of Messaging, you can mix different types of storage servers on the same system. Using this flexible design, you can continue using e-mail servers in your network environment.
Using a mix of different storage servers on the same system, you can also choose the location where Messaging sends the voice messages of an individual user. This flexibility helps you to address discovery and compliance concerns. This flexibility also ensures that you are not locked into the product of a specific e-mail vendor.
The Avaya storage server:
Uses LDAP to provide directory services
Relays messages between the application server and third-party servers
Stores voice messages
You can turn off the storage functionality, if needed. However, Messaging requires the Avaya storage server to provide other services.
