Nortel Establishes New Model For Open UC

Prompted by strong demand from customers and partners, Nortel is expanding its Software Communication System (SCS) solution to accommodate enterprises beyond SMEs. SCS brings solution simplicity, new applications, further plug-and-play interoperability and more opportunities for third-party development communities.

SCS is a native UC software solution based on Session Initiation Protocol, the standard for universal communications and interoperability. With SCS, businesses can converge all of their communications into a centralised solution that can integrate seamlessly into an existing IT environment with open Web-based interfaces.

Release 3.0 of SCS extends support to industry-standard platforms from IBM, Dell and HP, including IBM Power Systems and System i, Dell Optiplex, and HP Proliant DL360, as well as the recently announced IBM x3350 and Dell PowerEdge R300 systems. In addition to the supported platform expansion, the Nortel SCS Developer Program also offers interoperable third-party products such as desktop phones, soft phones, gateways, IP consoles, applications like call recording and call accounting, wireless mobility solutions, and much more.
