Aculab, a provider of enabling technology for the global communications market, has announced that it has released two new variants of its ApplianX Gateway ( News - Alert) for Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007. Customers looking to deploy an OCS 2007 solution can now select a hybrid gateway that supports from one E1/T1  trunk up to eight E1/T1 trunks in a standard 1U server. This product is classed as a ‘hybrid’ gateway as it has been designed to run the Mediation Server function of OCS 2007, which comes pre-installed within the ApplianX Gateway. As a certified hybrid, the solution has undergone a rigorous testing process to ensure optimum performance is gained from the combined gateway and Mediation Server.
The gateway can lower the total cost of ownership as fewer components are required, which consequently means there are fewer points of failure. Security issues are reduced because media isn’t passed externally over the network from the gateway to the Mediation Server. Performance under load has been fully tested so that customers can be certain that if they need to handle 240 simultaneous calls they can do so with a single ApplianX unit. Finally voice quality is assured as audio is not being unnecessarily forced through the network. Faye McClenahan, Head of Strategic Marketing said, “We have dedicated a great deal of engineering resource to Microsoft ( News - Alert) Unified Communications, with a view to creating a simple to use but very powerful gateway. We are pleased that a greater number of customers can benefit from using a hybrid gateway whether it is in a 30 or 240 channel deployment.” Bob Emmerson is TMC’s (News - Alert) European Editor.
