Analysts agree the Microsoft Lync is quickly gaining traction not only as a Unified Communications platform, but as a complete IP-PBX Replacement. The initial release of Lync squarely focused on the large enterprise with a complete staff of Microsoft Certified engineers or partners at their disposal. The complexity of a Lync implementation is beyond most small and medium-sized businesses (SMB’s). This is further complicated when an installation requires that Lync be integrated with the PSTN, either through traditional telephony interfaces or with a SIP Trunk.
To help the SMB manage this complexity, Sangoma has created Lync Express, the only all-in-one Lync server appliance with a built-in VoIP gateway and Session Border Controller. The appliance is “right-sized” to support installations of up to 240 users, with all the required software pre-loaded onto the appliance.
