XMediusFAX® SP is the first boardless and multi-tenant Fax over IP (FoIP) fax server software.

Ideal for any service provider or enterprise that has deployed or plans to deploy an IP telephony infrastructure.
Field-proven to manage large fax volumes and deliver high levels of scalability, reliability and availability.
Addresses the “fax problem” in IP networks with the most advanced T.38 FoIP integration for Cisco, Avaya, AudioCodes and Alcatel VoIP gateways.
Provides seamless iPBX integration and virtual machine support using VMware

Robust Back Office XML Integrations

xmediusfax archive XMediusFAX SP enables your diverse back-office applications to seamlessly send faxes to the PSTN using your VoIP network. Email gateways and XML gateways connect your email or SendFAX client to the XMediusFAX SP server. Fax transactions are centrally queued on real-time replicated XMediusFAX Fax Managers. This ensures instant failover support, should a Fax Manager fail at anytime.

With intelligent load balancing, Fax Managers dispatch document conversions to a pool of rasterizers and T.38 drivers. Depending on your routing rules, incoming faxes can be sent to email accounts, network folders, printers or specialized Java/CORBA applications. All completed fax transactions are stored in a MySQL database that is accessible to users through a Web interface or to administrators through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.

XMediusFAX SP Benefits
