The Messaging administrator can set up a backup Avaya message store that provides business continuity if the primary storage server fails. Message Mirror software continuously synchronizes the data between these storage servers.
Message Mirror runs on a separate customer-provided Windows server, which can be a virtual server. Message Mirror uses the IMAP4 and LDAP ports to connect to the Avaya message store server. You can also use the Secure IMAP4 and LDAP ports to connect to the Avaya message store server. For more information on Message Mirror, see http://www.mutare.com.
Message Mirror continuously monitors the primary Avaya message store server and copies or mirrors messages, names, greetings, passwords, and mailbox and CoS changes to a backup Avaya message store server. Message Mirror thus supports uninterrupted voice messaging in the event of an outage. Failover to the backup server is a manual process.
The message store data is synchronized between a pair of primary and backup message store servers. Optionally, you can choose to have duplicated application servers, or duplicated clusters of application servers, in two different locations to allow recovery from a complete site that is completely destroyed.
