Microsoft Virtualization – Learning Portal

Updated: September 12, 2008

Imagine a world where people and computers get the resources they need the moment they need them, where companies are able to mobilize and manage the resources of their entire infrastructure, both virtual and physical, to meet fast-moving business demands. Welcome to the world of virtualization—where all of this is a reality and almost anything is possible.

At Microsoft, virtualization is a means for enabling our long-standing vision of dynamic IT, an environment that helps people in an organization anticipate and respond to business challenges and opportunities. Microsoft is the only company that provides an end-to-end suite of virtualization products and technologies—all tied together by a centralized, policy-based management system.

Enterprise Voice

Hola a todos, como saben durante mis 12 años de carrera en plataforma Microsoft he tenido que aprender de muchos temas y especializarme y profundizar en algunos de ellos.

bien para todos es conocido que ahonde muchisimo en el tema de Directorio Activo y de Exchange 2000, 2003 y 2007, que tengo un conocimiento muy fuerte en Virtualizacion como concepto y como apalancador de procesos, pero ultimamente he ahondado muchisimo gracias a mi trabajo en Desca en temas de Enterprise Voice.

Ya he implementado varias plataformas con este tipo de tecnologia y pues me dedicare a mostrar sus ventajas, beneficios, tips, trucos y con miras a OCS 2007 R2.

Pero que es Enterprise Voice?

Segun la guia de VoIP de Microsoft

…»Enterprise Voice is Microsoft’s software-powered VoIP solution, a SIP-based implementation of IP telephony for the enterprise that does not rely on proprietary hardware investments. Enterprise Voice is a full-featured VoIP solution that includes connectivity with PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) gateways and interoperation with PBX (Private Branch Exchange) installations. Enterprise Voice, IM (instant messaging), group IM, enhanced presence, and audio-video conferencing together constitute Microsoft’s Unified Communications solution.»…

…»

Enterprise Voice enables users to:

· Place calls over the IP network from PC to PC, PC to PBX/PSTN phone, or PBX/PSTN phone to PC. This means that users have all their principle communications choices — voice, e-mail, instant messaging, and conferencing — available and integrated on their desktop computer.

· Participate in IP voice sessions that traverse NATs and firewalls. This means that users working at home or on the road can call the enterprise from anywhere an Internet connection is available, without incurring long-distance charges or resorting to a VPN (virtual private network).

· Place calls to other Enterprise Voice users, coworkers who are hosted on a PBX, or PSTN numbers.

· Retain existing telephone numbers and dialing habits.

· Enjoy the benefits of call answering, call forwarding, and other call-control features.

For the business customer, Enterprise Voice provides the following benefits over and above those the productivity enhancements that accrue to users:

· Enterprise Voice can be deployed with only modest modifications to existing Communications Server 2007 and telephony infrastructures.

· Communications Server 2007 uses smart, least-cost routing algorithms for calls to the PSTN.

· Enterprise Voice features centralized administration using familiar tools.

· Enterprise Voice supports integration with existing PBX and RCC (Remote Call Control) solutions.

· A distributed architecture that reduces bottlenecks and the likelihood of single points of failure.»…
