Jasomi Enhances Network Boundary Traversal Capabilities for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server Enables complex deployment scenarios for Microsoft customers needing to run VoIP across NAT, firewall, and trust boundaries.SAN JOSE, CA – Jasomi Networks today demonstrated enhanced session control and network boundary traversal support for Microsoft Office’s Live Communications Server (LCS). These capabilities in Jasomi’s PeerPoint line of VoIP network boundary solutions enable a wide variety of deployment scenarios for Microsoft customers looking to enable VoIP service across existing security barriers such as firewalls. PeerPoint can also allow Microsoft’s Live Communications Server to be deployed in an Internet-facing scenario so that public users and remote users can securely interact over the Internet. Newly available and enhanced capabilities that Jasomi provides for customers deploying Live Communications Server include: - Multi-homed support for traversing network segments that are otherwise unroutable for security reasons - Native Windows support for embedding within LCS and Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) applications - near-end NAT and firewall traversal, so that LCS can be deployed behind the security of a corporate firewall - far-end NAT and firewall traversal, so that remote users can make use of LCS even when they themselves are behind NAT-enabled firewalls - Security transcoding, so that VoIP devices that use UDP, TCP, and TLS can co-exist in an LCS network - Mid-call media encryption, so that LCS calls can be encrypted when they travel over insecure networks, while still interoperating with non-encrypting equipment (such as PSTN gateways) on a secure network - Intrusion prevention, so that Internet connectivity can be maintained while limiting the ability of an attacker to use VoIP to penetrate the LCS network Jasomi Enhances Network Boundary Traversal Capabilities for Microsoft Office Live Communications Server – Page 2 “Jasomi has worked hard to support a growing customer base for LCS with a wide variety of network topologies and requirements,” said Marc Sanders, Lead Product Manager in Microsoft’s Real-Time Collaboration Group. “Customers continue to deploy LCS as a solution to a broad array of communications issues, and we look forward to working closely with Jasomi to define and implement the future of networked communications.” Jasomi’s PeerPoint product line has been providing solutions to complex VoIP deployment scenarios for the last 2 years, and is widely used by both enterprise and service provider customers.
