24/09/08 - A Great Duet: Quintum's Tenor and Microsoft OCS 2007

Quintum Technologies understands that most companies aren't going perform a "forklift upgrade" on their whole network infrastructure to garner the benefits of voiceover-IP (VoIP) and unified communications (UC), no matter how tempting Microsoft's Office Communications (OCS) Server 2007 may make that appear.

 

Still, today's public and private organizations must face a dynamic, expanding, hybrid network serving both traditional circuit-switched PSTN and packet- switched NGN voice, video and data traffic. VoIP may have to travel over a connection between existing PBXs, or IP-PBX functionality may have to be extended to branch offices, or the new IP-PBX must be integrated with existing PBXs or legacy voice equipment. And if the IP-PBX network fails, the equipment in the branch offices should survive and continue handling calls unabated.

That's why Quintum developed a comprehensive line of intelligent Quintum Tenor® VoIP access switching and gateway solutions that can now be found in enterprise and service provider networks worldwide. The Tenors have a very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) because they fit into just about any network and need no PBX modifications to interoperate across PBX and IP-PBX environments. The Tenor's ease of ownership, not to mention its scalability and remote management capabilities, are all made possible without any additional equipment or incurring any provisioning expenses.

In a complex, dynamic network you need a flexible, scalable box. With the Quintum Tenor, organizations can bring together legacy equipment with the new generation of unified communications. A true converging device.
