Attendees Microsoft's Tech.Ed conference on the Gold Coast week be able
to check out the fruits of Nortel's VoIP collaborations with Microsoft
when the company demonstrates the first of its unified communications
solutions to ‘natively' integrate with Microsoft's upcoming Office Communication Server (OCS) 2007 platform.
An privilege of cooperating with Redmond is that Nortel's IP PBX s and Multimedia Conferencing products will
not require special gateways or hardware to work with the new Microsoft Comms
server which will be released
later this year.
This week will be the first time Nortel has shown off the capabilities of these new products for prospective Australian customers to see.
"The solutions we're showing at Tech.Ed include the next wave of
products from our alliance with Microsoft and are based on the
continued development of Nortel's proven hardware infrastructure
solutions and Microsoft's ubiquitous desktop software platforms," says
KirstenGilbertson, Microsoft Business Manager, Nortel ANZ.
"We've engineered a level of integration between Microsoft's OCS
2007 and Nortel's IP PBX that currently is not matched in the industry
which translates in real terms to ease of deployment when migrating IP
telephony networks to unified communications."
Nortel will also demonstrate a range of advanced SIP handsets,
developed by LG-Nortel for Microsoft's OCS 2007, and Nortel's Secure
Always-on Networking solutions that support the companies' unified
communications platform.
The demonstrations will run across a live network based on Nortel
equipment designed specifically for unified communications
applications. Nortel's new CS 1000 release 5.0 is the first hardware
platform to provide native integration with Microsoft'sOCS
2007, which will give enterprise customers around the world a
consolidated VoIP solution that further improves service reliability,
enables better security for VoIP calls, and simplifies deployment and
management through the use of industry standard hardware and software.
Nortel's CS 1000 is a server-based, full-featured IP PBX, providing the
benefits of a converged network, advanced conferencing applications,
and more than 750 telephony features. Microsoft'sOCS
2007 is the next-generation unified communications platform enabling
seamless communication between Microsoft Office applications and other
networked applications and hardware - including IP handsets, laptops
and SIP-enabled mobile devices.
