Processing Power necessary ingredient for Future
Proof growth

• Additional Applications demand more real time
  requirements
• IP telephony requires more real time than circuit
  switched telephony
• Additional capacity demands more processing power

8
Meridian 1 Processing

• Distributed processing offloads main processor
• Option 11C (Motorola 68040) 58,000 BHCC
• Leader in its category
• Option 61C (Motorola 68060E) 132,500 BHCC
• Leader in its category
• More powerful than competitive PBXs with tenfold
  capacity
• Option 81C (Pentium II) 320,000 BHCC
• Leader of all major large PBX competitors

9
Meridian 1 Common Control Redundancy

• Standard on the Option 61C and Option 81C
• Duplicated CPU, Memory, Software and Database
• Hot Standby
• All calls in progress remain in progress
• Change over is transparent to the end user
• Crossover Memory Arbitration (CMA)
• Each CE (Common Equipment) Complex will make
  available to the second CE Complex the component
  that is still functioning. Another words if the
  Memory in CE 1 fails the second CE Complex will
  have available the CPU of CE1. (68060 and 68060E
  processors)
