Sipera Systems, a provider of security solutions for unified communications products, announced Friday it is offering a distributed, secure UC solution for enterprises to deploy to a dispersed employee base. Sipera's Business Continuity Communications Solution (SBCCS) is designed for disaster recovery to provide secure VoIP, video, IM, collaboration and other UC capabilities for an enterprise, if its central location cannot be used.
SBCCS enables encryption, policy enforcement, and access control for the communications needs of "any worker in any location with IP network connectivity," according to a release. The Sipera solution allows for large enterprises to have greater workforce flexibility in the event of a major public health concern, natural disaster, or security issue. Andy Asava, Sipera vice president of worldwide sales, said disaster events are rare, but companies have a much greater chance of needing disaster recovery as their operations expand globally.
"Our UC-Sec solutions enable and secure complete UC services at employee's homes and remote offices, without requiring anything more than existing office VoIP phones and laptop PCs," Asava said a statement. "This enables ongoing business operations outside enterprise headquarters, to remote workers wherever they might be and whenever circumstances dictate staff should not commute to their usual workplaces."
Sipera said the solution requires no configuration changes in a company's IP-PBX, making it very easy and quick to deploy.
