NEC Communication-as-a-Service available for cloud

 

NEC Corporation announced the launch of UNIVERGE
Sphericall as a VMware software-based virtual appliance, enabling organizations
to directly implement communication-as-a service delivery models as part of their
private or hybrid clouds.

 

Virtualized voice and data infrastructure provide a cost
effective, flexible, and agile method of delivering new applications and
services rapidly to market.

 

With virtual appliances
based on VMware vSphere, customers also realize the additional benefits of
pooling infrastructure resources, elasticity to meet capacity on demand, and
more effective disaster recovery for business continuity.

 

We believe CIOs are looking to virtualization and cloud
strategies to deliver business applications, which may include ERP, CRM and
even unified communications, as a service in a very streamlined, efficient
manner – all on fewer physical servers than was ever possible before,” said
Taichiro Hashizawa, vice president and senior general manager, NEC.

 

As a pure software-based communications solution based
on open standards, Sphericall is suited to fit squarely within virtualization
and cloud strategies in a wide variety of configurations,” Hashizawa added.

 

VMware and NEC share a common vision for delivering
cloud computing solutions to customers,” said Gary Green, vice president,
Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. NEC’s new communication-as-a-service
solution based on VMware vSphere is designed to help customers virtualize
additional datacenter resources for building enterprise hybrid clouds.”
