Patton Partners with Unify to Serve Global SMB UC Market12.8.2015 For businesses with up to 1,000 users the new SmartNode OpenScape Business Appliance offers an affordable, easy-to�implement, state-of-the-art Unified Communications solution in a single device. SmartNode VoIP... more than just talk!
The two companies have collaborated to produce the SmartNode OpenScape Business Appliance (SN-OSB), a single-device UC solution designed for businesses with up to 1,000 users that is fast and easy for smaller company�s IT staff to implement. While many smaller companies have been reluctant to make the transition to Unified Communications, Patton and Unify offer a solution that makes it fast and easy for SMBs to implement an All-IP solution. The SN-OSB appliance combines Patton�s SmartNode VoIP-gateway technology and hardware manufacturing expertise with Unify�s OpenScape Business S unified communications software to offer an affordable, state-of-the art UC solution for SMBs in a single device. OpenScape Business S�the new-generation Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) software from Unify�which combines the best of HiPath 3000 and OpenScape Office and plays well with OpenStage IP phones�comes factory-installed and ready to go. Unlike most UC appliances on the market, the SN-OSB is available with built-in traditional telephony interfaces (PRI, BRI, FXS, and FXO) that connect legacy devices with All-IP UCC services, while supporting SIP Trunks, TDM Trunks and SIP Trunks with TDM or dual-SIP survivability. SmartNode quality and reliability deliver assured interoperability among all systems. The one-box UCC solution from Patton and Unify is based on Patton�s SmartNode Open Gateway Appliance (SNOGA) hardware platform. The SNOGA�s built-in SmartNode VoIP Gateway is highly interoperable, able to integrate any existing analog, PBX, digital PBX, or DECT phone system with all SIP-based devices and UCC services. For companies that already have OpenScape but still need a VoIP-gateway solution, Unify has certified all of Patton�s SmartNode VoIP gateways, integrated access devices (IAD) and enterprise session border controllers (E-SBCs) for interoperability with its OpenScape Business software.� >>View the Interop Partner Certificate� In related news, Patton recently announced interop certification with Metaswitch�s MetaSphere IP-telephony software for network operators.�
