UC Point is introducing latest version of remote UCC appliance

IRVINE, Calif. - July 22, 2015 - PRLog -- UC Point, provider of global Unified Communications & Collaboration services, is introducing a new compact version of their award-winning remote UCC appliance: The UCP RAP Branch Appliance (UCP RAP BA) is the perfect solution for customer sites with limited external internet access or sites with strict data encryption policies. In addition, the UCP RAP BA enables remote “agentless” monitoring of Survivable Branch Appliances (SBAs) without absorbing valuable processing power of the SBA.

UC Point is introducing the latest version of their award-winning remote UCC monitoring and troubleshooting tool UCP Remote Appliance (UCP RAP). The UCP RAP Branch Appliance (UCP RAP BA) is roughly the size of a modem and allows remote monitoring, proactive alerting, and troubleshooting of VoIP equipment such as Media Gateways, Session Boarder Controller (SBCs) und Survivable Branch Appliances (SBAs). It takes less than 5 minutes to deploy the pre-configured device and connect it at the local customer site. An onsite external service technician is not required.

The newest member of the UCP RAP family has distinct features, including: highest security standards, passive cooling for deployment at smaller customer sites or sites without a dedicated server room, and extended product life span. In addition, the new compact UCP RAP BA features a secureLinux operating system where unnecessary Linux operations have been deactivated. Moreover, UC Point has omitted the VPN interface to enable customers operating internationally to import and deploy the UCP RAP BA in countries with strict data encryption policies, such as Russia, China, as well as, Arabic countries.

The successful monitoring of a unified communications environment requires the placement of a central UCP RAP in the customer’s datacenter along with the deployment of UCP RAP BAs at regional sites. The UCP RAP BA aggregates key health indicators from within the customer’s network (intranet) and transmits them to the central UCP RAP where the monitoring data is encrypted and interfaced to the UC Point data center. This ensures secure and compliant UCC monitoring with around-the-clock proactive alerting, remote troubleshooting, and disaster recovery by a certified UC-Specialist in the event of outage.
