UCC Networking – Enabling the Extended UC Domain

Many companies are operating out of multiple locations and offices on a single campus, or distributed in national or international environments. Site expansions are also typical as small and medium sized businesses grow and need more space.
The need to communicate and collaborate as one entity is especially critical for smaller companies trying to compete with large enterprises.
OpenScape Office uniquely simplifies communication and collaboration allowing multi-site offices to operate as one system, by a single Extended UC Domain.

UCC Networking – Enabling the Extended UC Domain
Benefits include:

• Always know the availability of your colleagues across office locations and the best way to reach them
• Stay within reach of your colleagues and customers from any device and location
• Leverage social media integration to extend your communications reach to partners via 3rd party IM
• Managing one single UC domain vs. multiple redundant standalone deployments

Virtualization

Virtualization enables companies to improve the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications by eliminating the old “one server, one application” model. Virtualization is a way to abstract SW applications and their underlying components away from the physical server hardware.
Small to medium size businesses often place even greater emphasis on cost savings and on protecting business critical systems and data, since IT staff and budgets are shrinking.
The pure software design of OpenScape Office enables businesses to virtualize their Unified Communications and Collaboration solution. Benefits include:

• Reduction of physical servers to reduce hardware costs
• Easy data backup and restore
• Enhanced availability and reliability
• Improved scalability and monitoring
• Green IT (One server = less energy consumption)
• Reduced service hours
