On Monday 26th March, 2012, NET announced that its UX platform (UX1000 and UX2000) received Microsoft Lync Server 2010 SBAv2 qualification.
So what is UX with Lync Survivable Branch Appliance version 2 all about? Let’s take a deeper look.
It’s an SBA for any Branch Office (BO)
With UX and SBAv2, Enterprises now have a solution for any sized branch office, whether its a large branch with upto 1000 employees or a small one with less than 25 employees. In fact, there are 3 branch solutions that NET presents for Enterprises:
NETs UX1000 with its Intel Atom processor based application server module (ASM) provides a cost-effective Survivable Branch Appliance for small offices with fewer than 25 employees.
Why do you order takeout (food to-go) from a restaurant? There are many reasons, but here are a few that I think are the most important:
Because you don’t really want to cook at home, because you don’t want to buy the ingredients and go through the effort of cleaning, cutting and cooking.
Because ordering from a restaurant is convenient, you don’t have to wait for your food and you can use that time to do something else.
Because you can customize order for every family member without the hassle of cooking separate dishes with varying level of spiciness (if you have a family like me where every member likes different level of spiciness in the food) for each of them.

Complimentary Webinar: Unified Communications 2012, What’s Changed and Why You Should Know.
What if there was a single element in your Enterprise communication infrastructure, that though may be insignificant, can actually become a single point of failure leading to your entire enterprise communication spiral down to a disastrous halt? The bad news is more often than not there will be such elements in your communication network, but the good news is, you can identify them by asking the right questions and secure them before the dominoes are set in motion and the situation gets out of control.
Does your network have redundancy built-in?
One of the ways of mitigate the risk of down-time is by building a Highly Available network.… Continue Reading …
Who says machines can’t find love on earth? Last week, NET introduced their very own debugging tool called Log Exchange (LX) for their UX and VX series of products. This little piece of software is stuffed with tons of features that not just the machines but even the humans will fall in love with. Let me describe some of these features in more detail.
LX can render call flows using UX/VX logs
UX and VX gather all their call related debug information in the log files that are either stored locally or on a separate server. It has always been a dream of anyone debugging using these logs to have the ability to visualize them with relevant call-flows.… Continue Reading …
If you didn’t already know this, Media Bypass is a big deal in Lync 2010. With Lync 2010, Microsoft has introduced three advanced enterprise voice features: Call Admission Control, Emergency Services (E911) and Media Bypass. Media Bypass is a powerful feature most recommended for Enterprises that want to build a scalable cost-effective network.
According to Microsoft TechNet: "As a general rule, enable media bypass wherever possible."
But enabling Media Bypass in an enterprise network has it’s own challenges, most of which can be deflected by a device like an Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) with media gateway capabilities.
Introduction to Lync Media Bypass
In pre-Lync environment, there was a one to one relationship between a Mediation Server and a media gateway.… Continue Reading …

We just launched our new UX1000 the second in the UX Series product that help companies migrate to Unified Communications (UC) on the one hand and extend their legacy equipment to the new and exciting SIP Trunking services on the other.… Continue Reading …
There are a bunch of Multi Service Business Gateways (MSBGs) available in the market today. And most of them claim to meet all enterprise needs. But do they really? A true Enterprise solution needs to address real enterprise problems.
An Enterprise Needs Ease of Monitoring and Management with the MSBG
Before selecting a Multi Service Business Gateway, you need to evaluate how the MSBG fairs in terms of ease of management.
1. Is it a single system solution?
A true single system solution is the one where you don’t just see a single physical system, but it also works as a single system.… Continue Reading …
