Microsoft Unified Communications Solutions

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Live Communications Server 2005 deployments can leverage the ServerIron load balancing technologies which provide performance scalability, high availability and security to a business critical solution like Unified Communications. This includes email, instant messaging, web conferencing and audio and video conferencing.

Overview

Microsoft unified communications technologies use the power of software to deliver complete communications—messaging, voice, and video—across the applications and devices that people use every day. Integrating the experiences associated with the telephone—phone calls, voice mail, and conferencing—into the work done on a computer—documents, spreadsheets, instant messaging, e-mail, calendars—has the power to fundamentally change the way the world works.

The key requirements for running a production unified communications infrastructure are performance scalability, high availability and security of servers and data. As your business grows in terms of number of employees, customers, suppliers and partners, the servers running the OCS software hit the upper limits of their processing capacity. Communications is such a key enabler of business that any downtime for the applications affects your top line revenue and productivity. Further security considerations like data encryption over the wire and keeping the infrastructure free of viruses and hackers without any perceptible performance degradation are top of mind for CIOs and IT managers deploying Microsoft OCS.
