IPFX - Unifying people, productivity and communications

Unified Communications

Overview

IPFX’s suite of applications has been integrated with Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager since 2001 and as such was one of the first applications available on this IP PBX.

IPFX integrates via an open standard TAPI interface to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This interface provides all the required telephony events to IPFX, allows IPFX to control calls and allows IPFX to play and record voice messages.

IPFX’s complete suite of applications typically resides on a single Microsoft Windows server thus reducing rack space, administration overheads, installation complexity, as well as power consumption and carbon emissions.

Redundancy

For customers that require a higher level of reliability, IPFX has the option of a hot failover server. This server may be configured on the same network or alternatively at a remote site such as a disaster recovery (DR) site.

The hot failover IPFX server retains all the data and configurations of the prime server such that in the event of a failover, all voicemails, contact centre data and configurations are retained and commence operation automatically.
