Introducing Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Compatibility

Quintum is proud to announce that its Tenor VoIP Gateway and VoIP MultiPath Switch products have been certified by Microsoft for use with the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 unified communications suite. Tenor products are software compatible with the Microsoft Mediation Server and provide the gatewaying capability to enable the OCS2007 environment to interface with the local analog or digital PSTN connections and legacy telephony infrastructure.

The new Tenor Hybrid Gateway 60 has also been introduced to provide a single box integrated solution for interfacing OCS2007 with the PSTN and legacy telephony infrastructure. It is ideal for use by small to medium enterprises which are migrating to Microsoft based unified communications.

Comms Connect has introduced a number of comprehensive support packages for customers who are installing Tenor VoIP gateways and MultiPath Switches for use with OCS2007 unified communications systems. These one-price packages dramatically simplify implementation and support of Tenor VoIP Switches and Gateways for customers who are migrating to the OCS2007 Platform. If and when you require access to our engineers, we'll ensure that your customers have 24x7 access as well as Advanced Warranty Replacement if needed.

Unisys Corporation deployed Quintum’s Tenor VoIP gateway in its “unified communications hosted trial” service, allowing customers to test Microsoft’s unified communications technology at no cost, including Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, and Microsoft Office Live Meeting.

TOHO Cinemas deployed a VoIP network with Tenor VoIP MultiPath switches and gateways to more than 30 cinemas throughout Japan, integrating an Asterisk based phone system with the existing PBXs at each site. This was made possible through Quintum's Tenor series of products, enabling TOHO to centralize their information line utilizing Asterisk's interactive voice recognition (IVR) capability to automate the routing of their incoming calls to available information operators.

Because of the continued evolution of enterprise IT, managers responsible for corporate VoIP implementations have a variety of concerns. Among these top concerns are:

- Network architecture/infrastructure
- Reliable VoIP trunking
- Minimizing total cost of ownership
- Mitigating risk
- Service vulnerabilities

These are just a few of several examples. Quintum has been successfully addressing such issues for enterprises dealing with VoIP for nearly ten years. Their effective approach to supporting customers' changing needs has made it the second-leading provider of VoIP gateways and switches in the industry. To view the full white paper, click here.

PortaOne owners should have a backup policy along the lines listed below:

Basically, PortaOne's recommendation is that since there are 2 servers (Master and Slave) with mirroring hard drives, doing a daily backup of the database should be ok.

Master Server:

Slave Server:

Scenario 1: Master hardware fails and the root of the problem could not be determined

- Install from Porta CD
- PortaOne will do post install
- Copy database from Slave database (if slave is bad then restore from the latest mysql dump backup)

- Install from Porta CD
- PortaOne will do post install
- Copy database from Master (if master is bad then restore from the latest mysql dump backup)
- Copy above mentioned files and folders from the backed up server
