Siemens Launches OpenScape Unified Communications Server

Siemens Enterprise Communications announced a significant step forward in its ongoing transformation into a software-oriented company with the launch of an innovative new unified communications software platform, OpenScape Unified Communications Server. OpenScape UC Server is designed to remove the artificial legacy barriers between today’s traditionally separate voice, video and unified communications systems to enable a comprehensive suite of UC applications. This suite initially includes OpenScape Voice Application, OpenScape Video and OpenScape UC Application V3.

OpenScape UC Server can operate in virtually any existing IT or telephony environment, including IP telephony or legacy PBX telephony environments from Siemens or any other vendor – a key proof-point of Siemens’ Open Communications positioning. Installation is easy and affordable, with highly practical options that do not require expensive or complex proprietary technology stacks.

OpenScape UC Server software is the foundation for the company’s new unified communications suite and is a new product offering available for sale starting 30th April 2008. The OpenScape UC Server enables presence, administration, session control and other shared services for the current and planned family of OpenScape UC suite of applications, which are designed to enable easy growth and expansion. New modular capabilities are enabled by simply activating the desired license keys on a user-by-user basis.

Siemens believes that voice remains the most natural and effective form of human communications and has built OpenScape UC Server from the ground up as an open, SIP-based, software IT communications and UC application foundation with shared web-services components that leverage the company’s OpenSOA architecture. The existing HiPath® 8000 and HiPath OpenExchange applications have been redesigned to run natively on the OpenScape UC Server for enterprise voice and IP least cost routing. The OpenScape UC suite of applications operate in multi-vendor environments and integrate with complementary offerings including IBM Sametime, Microsoft Office Communication Server and various others.

OpenScape UC Server will be available in three versions. The Medium Edition configuration is a single server solution with optional redundancy for up to 1,000 users. The Large Edition is a multi-server configuration for up to 100,000 users, with full UC functionality for up to 20,000 users and basic UC functionality for up to 100,000 users. The Hosted Edition contains additional application components to support the unique requirements of service providers and hosting organisations.
