ManageExpress® VoIP provides a secure
web-based centralized provisioning and management solution, effectively
deploying and maintaining Cisco's Call Manager (Multi-Tenant), Cisco Call
Manager Express (CME) and Unity Express (CUE) products. The diversity of
ManageExpress solves VoIP management problems across small to medium sized
businesses, large enterprises, retail branches, and service providers wanting to
offer managed voice services. Customers will appreciate this intuitive, highly
scalable solution for setting-up and managing CCMs, CMEs and CUEs across
multiple sites. ManageExpress is a cost effective method for managing networked
IP communications devices and offers an excellent choice for customers requiring
a reliable, responsive solution for initial deployment, key administrative
duties, and day-to-day maintenance activities.
Automation of such tasks reduces the
chances of human error and enables managers to better deploy existing resources.
At the same time, ManageExpress™ VoIP captures operational knowledge into
specific templates that can be reused, scheduled based on time, or triggered by
asynchronous network events such as SNMP traps.
ManageExpress™ VoIP is powered by
ArcanaNetworks’ OpsXML™ technology. The ManageExpress modular family of products
is aimed at solving specific device management issues by automating the
management and deployment of advanced technologies, such as Security, VoIP, and
Storage Area Networks. ManageExpress™
VoIP provides a secure web based front end to the OpsXML™ automation server.
