Mitel Unified Communications Platform, Enterprise Power Consumption Evaluation

Abstract

Mitel commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its Mitel® 3300 IP Communications Platform (ICP) to measure the energy 
required to drive critical Unified Communications solutions situated in campus headquarters, regional-office and branch-office locations.

The Tolly Group measured the power consumed (total watts) by a variety of Mitel IP voice switches and IP phones. Engineers then computed the energy 
requirements to support three enterprise scenarios — a large-scale network with headquarters, regional office and a branch office; a medium network with 350 users distributed across 20 locations, and a self-contained single-site, small branch office of 65 users. The computations factored in voice switches, phones and the power required to support them.

Testing was conducted in October 2008.
