I have a mixed telephony environment (i.e. Avaya, Alcatel, Cisco, Siemens and Nortel), some of which are legacy as well as international presence.

From a management/monitoring perspective, there isn't one single solution. Companies will usually use an HP OpenView or IBM Tivoli and then purchase applications that "snap in" to these management "umbrellas".
