Siemens Adds SOA Components

Siemens Communications has announced its first set of its Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) components, as part of the company’s ongoing development of its HiPath 8000 Open Unified Communications solutions.

The new features included are cost-effective extension of the HiPath 8000 system – one of the industry’s only pure Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) solutions for open, IT-based communication – for medium-sized enterprises starting at 300 users. The SOA components also go with the solution’s continued support of very large and multinational organizations with thousands of employees.

"The HiPath 8000 is moving organizations from the old mindset of converged, voice over Internet protocol solutions based on the IP-PBX site-based model to a new generation of open, unified communications software solutions based on an IT per user license model managed out of the IT data center," said Dana Rasmussen, president, Enterprise Division, Siemens.

Siemens said the system now has improved encryption and network security, even greater interworking with proprietary and legacy platforms, and SOA-based components for the solution’s management and media server features. Additional SOA interfaces and components are planned for 2007 and beyond.
