Ferrari Electronic AG Launches Survivable Branch Appliance for Microsoft Lync Server 2010
Telephony Survives WAN Outages - Enabler for Centralized Telephony Architecture
BERLIN, November 17, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Ferrari electronic AG today announced the availability of OfficeMaster
Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) for Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
OfficeMaster SBA ensures that telephony is available in branch offices even
if the wide area network (WAN) fails. Until now, many companies have
preferred to separate IT and telecommunications to prevent telephony being
affected should the network go down. OfficeMaster SBA provides failover to
local telephony resources if the connection to the datacenter is interrupted,
thus retaining key telephony functions for local users, in addition to
intra-branch instant messaging, peer to peer voice, video calling and screen
sharing. Ferrari electronic is a manufacturer of professional communications
solutions and a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner.
"Lync Server 2010 allows customers to transform their communications
infrastructure," said Yancey Smith, director of product management, Microsoft
Lync. "Ferrari Electronic's OfficeMaster Survivable Branch Appliance
complements Lync Server through branch survivability and a high level of
functionality, security and quality even during WAN failures."
Johann Deutinger, CTO at Ferrari electronic, comments: "OfficeMaster
Survivable Branch Appliances support important unified communications
applications, integrating a reliable telephony fallback solution for Lync
Server 2010 and at the same time acting as a Unified Messaging Controller for
fax and SMS in combination with Microsoft Exchange Server."
Product highlights
OfficeMaster SBA is based on high-quality industry grade server hardware
that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 together with Microsoft survivable branch
appliance software. Other features include:
- Inbound faxing for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 qualified through
Microsoft Exchange UM Fax Partner Program.
- Test tool for PSTN connection that supports inbound and outbound test
calls independently of SBA software components
- Self-contained PCIe gateway board that appears as a standard network
interface card to the hosting server machine; all gateway functions are
completely offloaded from the host CPU
- Base configuration of 2 E1/T1 PRI, 4 BRI and 4 integrated analog FXS
ports with flexible licensing and additional available interfaces.
- Easy first-time setup supported by Silverlight-based web application
A fully-featured fax solution that also supports outbound faxing and
interfacing to external platforms such as Enteprise Resource Planning (ERP),
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Microsoft SharePoint is available
as an option. This fax solution can be installed directly on the appliance or
on a separate server, including virtual platforms. The solution is available
at http://www.ferrari-electronic.com/.
