SIP Cluster Components
[In progress]
The SIP Cluster includes several core and supporting components:
- SIP Server provides the hardware-to-software interface for calls.
- SIP Proxy acts as SIP registrar and hides the SIP Server infrastructure from SIP endpoints.
- SIP Feature Server handles voicemail, provides the user interface for configuring and using dial plans, supports monitoring.
- Orchestration Server, Universal Routing Server provide voice-routing capabilities.
- Stat Server provides support for the reporting of interactions in the cluster environment.
- Historical Reporting in the SIP Cluster solution provides detailed data, analytics, and reports about activity in your entire contact center, through use of several Genesys products: [+]
- Workspace Web Edition is the required desktop for this solution. The Genesys softphone or a Genesys supported SIP hardphone can be used for voice interactions with the agent. Note that the agent can log into any data center as he or she is effectively logging into a single switch.
- Genesys Interaction Recording is a call recording solution, screen capture, and Quality Monitoring (QM) tool utilized to store, manage, and playback recorded voice conversations and screen captures, as well as provide quality assurance.
- Outbound Contact is an automated system that is used to create, modify, and run outbound dialing campaigns/dialing sessions in which agents interact with customers.
What is the SIP Cluster Node
What is the SIP Cluster Node will depend on your environment and demands of your contact center. We can provide a suggestion of components layout based on testing labs at Genesys.
At minimum, the core components of the SIP Cluster Node are:
- One HA pair of SIP Servers
- SIP Proxy
- SIP Feature Server
- URS
- ORS
- Stat Server
- ICON
Many diagrams in this guide refer to this suggested component layout that can be deploy on a virtual machine.
Currently, one SIP Cluster Node can handle up to 60 calls per second. To increase capacity, deploy several SIP Cluster Nodes ???
