Sagem-Interstar Inc.

The live event unites various Cisco network systems, security and routing VPs, customers, partners and analysts who will their share ideas, tactics and stories on weathering the current economic climate, all while driving IT innovation and ROI success. The Cisco IT Innovations Forum will include keynote speeches from Cisco's Marie Hattar, Mick Scully and Shailesh Shukla. Each keynote will be followed by round-table discussions from customers exemplifying the theme "Driving IT Innovation and ROI Success". Two of the 10 round-table industry guests include Sagem-Interstar's customers: Dave Cahill (CIO of Van Meter Industrial) and Daryl Schweiger (Manager, Information Systems, Cardiovascular Group), deploying XMediusFAX Fax over IP (FoIP) solutions within the Cisco Application Extension Platform (AXP). The Cisco AXP-XMediusFAX FoIP offering is the first and only, global IP fax server solution to run inside the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR). Its emerging branch office optimization requirements include robust support for advanced FoIP survivability deployments. Survivability of an increasingly business critical application like fax should be integrated within an overall corporate business continuity plan (BCP). With XMediusFAX 6.0, the IP fax server survivability solution can be cost-efficiently tailored to address a wide range of system availability and disaster recovery objectives to safeguard against the high costs and negative impact of fax downtime at corporate headquarters or within the branches.

Customer Quotes: Van Meter Industrial, one of North America's largest electrical and automation wholesale distributors and a long-time XMediusFAX SP customer, is the first to deploy the new XMediusFAX 6.0 branch survivability FoIP solution within a Cisco AXP/ISR 2800 environment. This deployment was driven by the fundamental need to minimize the impact of the loss of fax service at a remote branch due to WAN link problems. Ron Rathjens, Senior Network Engineer, Van Meter Industrial "We have been using the XMediusFAX solution for over 3 years. During the past year we have experienced some WAN issues (i.e. over-subscribed bandwidth) and needed a 'quick fix' so we could continue receiving faxes while our WAN was being upgraded. We selected the XMediusFAX AXP solution because it gave us that 'quick fix' we were looking for. It also provided us with a robust, redundant system that easily integrated into our existing infrastructure. The AXP integration was easy to install by simply plugging the NME module into our existing Cisco ISR router and configuring the software." The Cardiovascular Group, a leading northern Virginia cardiology practice with 11 clinical offices, deploys Cisco AXP-XMediusFAX FoIP to easily and cost-effectively harmonize faxing of confidential patient, physician, hospital and internal communications (3,000-6,000 faxes/month). Daryl Schweiger, Information Systems Manager, The Cardiovascular Group, P.C. "Cisco AXP-XMediusFAX FoIP is a green solution, since it integrates directly into our existing ISR, and does not require additional cooling, power consumption and rack space. In all, The Cardiovascular Group anticipates monthly savings of $3,000 in telecom and document handling costs."
