Unison Brings Harmony to Unified Communications - Unison Server
(
Page 2 of 5 )
Unison has combined all communications (telephony, e-mail, instant
messaging, calendars and contacts) into a single server architecture.
In other words, a single product handles all of a company’s
communication needs. The concept of a single server application
eliminates most of the integration needed by other solutions, speeding
deployment and simplifying maintenance. All pluses when it comes to
quickly deploying unified communications.
Unison’s custom server application is designed to run under Linux
(CentOS 5.1 and RHEL 5.1 are currently supported) on a server-class
system. Although feature-rich, the server does not require large
amounts of processing power, allowing old server hardware to be
converted into a unified communications server or, better yet, allowing
integrators to build a Linux appliance to deploy the Unison Server.
Unison Server is simple to set up and manage. The company provides all
of the information needed to get up and running quickly, turning a
deployment into something that takes a matter of hours as opposed to
days for competing products. And the company offers excellent
deployment tutorials and scenarios to further speed setup.
The
Unison server includes an IP PBX, which eliminates the need for an
additional piece of hardware and associated expenses. The nature of the
integrated PBX also helps to make a desktop IP phone an integrated
component of unified communications.
