HPE JG587A MSR Small Survivable Branch Communication MIM powered by Microsoft Lync

Product Description

The HPE JG587A is a specialized module designed to integrate unified communications (UC) capabilities into HPE MSR (Modular Server) platforms, specifically targeting small survivable branch office deployments. Powered by Microsoft Lync (which has since evolved into Microsoft Skype for Business), this module enables essential collaboration features such as voice calls, video conferencing, instant messaging, and presence information for users located in remote or smaller office locations. Its primary goal is to ensure that branch offices have access to robust communication tools, mirroring the functionality available in larger corporate headquarters. The 'Small Survivable Branch' aspect is critical, as it implies that the module is designed to maintain essential communication services even if the connection to the central data center or main office is interrupted. This survivability ensures business continuity for critical communication functions, preventing disruptions to daily operations. The integration with Microsoft Lync/Skype for Business allows for seamless interoperability with the broader Microsoft UC ecosystem, enabling consistent user experience and management across the organization. This module is typically deployed within an MSR router or gateway, acting as a self-contained communication server for the branch. It simplifies the IT infrastructure at smaller sites by consolidating communication services onto a single, manageable hardware platform. The HPE JG587A empowers small teams with the advanced collaboration tools needed to stay connected and productive, regardless of their physical location.
