Build-a-Bundle Packaging
Introducing Next Generation Media Application Server Hardware

Build-a-Bundle Packaging
To accommodate these six new MAS hardware platforms and to be able to offer our customers
economical options for voice mail port packaging, Toshiba is introducing a Build-a-Bundle Flexible
Package solution for the MAS, similar to the program now offered for Strata CIX systems.
These new packages combine one of the six models of MAS platforms with one selection of a voice
mail port bundle.
Neither the MAS system Build-a-Bundle part number, nor the Voice Mail Port Packages can be
ordered by themselves. They are only available in their Build-a-Bundle package.
This new functionality is built into Toshiba’s FYI online ordering system. Simply choose one of the six
Build-a-Bundle Flexible package system part numbers;
•MAS-2U-XP-PKG – Standard MAS XP Professional Operating System
•MAS-2U-XP-RD1 – MAS with Windows XP Professional Operating System - RAID1 equipped
•MAS-2U-XP-RD5 – MAS with Windows XP Professional Operating System - RAID5 equipped
•MAS-2U-SVR-PKG – Standard MAS with Windows Server 2003 Operating System
•MAS-2U-SVR-RD1 – MAS with Windows Server 2003 Operating System - RAID1 equipped
•MAS-2U-SVR-RD5 – MAS with Windows Server 2003 Operating System - RAID5 equipped
- and one of the eight Voice Mail Port Packages;
•LIC-4PVMMASPKG
•LIC-8PVMMASPKG
•LIC-12PVMMASPKG
•LIC-16PVMMASPKG
•LIC-20PVMMASPKG
•LIC-24PVMMASPKG
•LIC-28PVMMASPKG
•LIC-32PVMMASPKG
This new configuration option allows dealers to purchase just the right MAS system with the desired
quantity of voice mail ports at a package price, instead of purchasing the same components
separately.
Pricing
All pricing information will be available at the time of the general availability in Toshiba’s online Price Book.
These new Build-a-Bundle packages have been added to CIX Quote version M01, which is available for
immediate download from our FYI web site.
Availability
Standard MAS systems (P/N MAS-2U-XPPRO-R3) with the Windows XP operating system are
available. MAS systems with the Windows Server 2003 operating system and/or RAID hard drive
redundancy require up to four business weeks for shipping.
