Prompted by strong demand from customers and partners, Nortel has expanded its Software Communication System (SCS) solution to accommodate enterprises beyond small and medium-size businesses. Release 3.0 of SCS now extends support to platforms from IBM, Dell and HP, including IBM Power Systems and System i, Dell Optiplex, and HP Proliant DL360, as well as the recently announced IBM x3350 and Dell PowerEdge R300 systems.
It has also evolved to scale from small and medium-size businesses all the way up to large, distributed enterprise networks. Installation, use and administration remain simple to help businesses avoid outsourcing expenses by enabling them to add new users and make other changes in-house, the company said.
"The UC market is in a transition from hardware to software, and for vendors this transition requires conviction to software openness. IP-only vendors will find this transition much more difficult. The winners in this market will be vendors who embrace open, software based solutions and who make software look like another application in the network," said Zeus Kerravala, Senior Vice President, Yankee Group.
