Mitel has the following unified communications applications that are now VMware Ready™ and available to customers. They include:

o Mitel Unified Communicator® (UC) Advanced

Mitel’s software approach offers organizations choice and flexibility in deploying unified communications solutions from the data center with the ability to run Mitel’s call control and applications on industry-standard servers in a VMware environment.

The Mitel solution leverages the VMware platform to enable organizations of all sizes to build internal clouds that transform IT into a dynamic, flexible service that delivers efficiency, control and choice within their infrastructures while dramatically lowering capital and operating costs.

The solution maximizes hardware utilization, simplifies application management, enhances applications performance, and streamlines IT’s business continuity objectives.

Quotes:

“Until now, the process of virtualizing voice has been quite difficult. The reason is latency; while latency is accepted and even expected for certain applications, it is not an option for real-time applications such as voice. Together, Mitel and VMware have solved this complex challenge, and as a result, users will experience voice just as they always have, while their organizations enjoy the significant benefits of virtualizing this application.” – Stephen Beamish, Vice-President Marketing and Strategic Partnerships, Mitel.

“VMware and Mitel are paving the way for virtualizing voice applications so that customers can now apply the benefits of virtualization to their unified communications strategies. With the groundbreaking performance provided by VMware vSphere™ 4 and the collaboration between our companies, customers of all sizes can capture the benefits of virtualization for voice applications, offering greater efficiency, control and choice for customers while lowering costs and increasing resource utilization.” – Parag Patel, Vice President, Alliances, VMware.
