up the ante against Microsoft
http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/28013.wss
ARMONK, N.Y. - 15 Jul 2009: IBM
(NYSE: IBM) today announced a new, self-managing, "office in a box"
appliance for small and midsized businesses (SMBs) that combines all of
the unified communications and collaboration (UC(2)) tools needed to run
a business with the ability to connect to telephony, in a single solution.
For smaller businesses with limited IT expertise, the solution reduces
complexity and enables employees to instantly access people and information,
resulting in increased efficiency, productivity and lower operating costs.

IBM Lotus Foundations Reach will be

The new Lotus Foundations Reach solution
customizes and extends the IBM Sametime UC(2) capabilities in a single
appliance designed specifically for SMBs that have limited IT skills and
smaller budgets. In about an hour, a business can install and configure
its entire UC environment in a system small enough to fit under a desk.
Unlike competitive offerings, Foundations Reach minimizes the need for
human intervention with self-managing technology that automates IT tasks
such as adjusting to workload demands, conducting proactive system checks
for security and reliability of the network, and detecting and repairing
potential issues. Lotus Foundations Reach enhances the user experience
by reducing the complexities associated with deploying and managing communications
and collaboration solutions. From one convenient platform, Lotus Foundations
Reach combines key UC features such as instant messaging (IM), presence
awareness to see who is online and available, email, calendars, contacts,
office productivity tools, network security, remote access, file and print
sharing, and backup and disaster recovery. The ability to access these
capabilities from a mobile device makes it easier for users that travel
or work remotely.
