(InfoWorld) - Microsoft will release a public beta of new VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) server software by the end of this month.The software smoothly integrates with legacy phone networks and its Office application suite, the company said. On the company's Web site, users can register to download the beta versions of Office Communications Server 2007, as well as Office Communicator 2007, a client application for mobiles and desktops that enables instant messaging, voice, and video. Microsoft plans a formal announcement on Wednesday at the VoiceCon Spring 2007 conference in Orlando, Florida. Office Communications Server will compete with hardware and software VOIP products from companies such as Cisco Systems and Avaya. Microsoft, however, is leveraging the wide use of its Office productivity suite and Exchange 2007 by integratingÂ them with the new server, part of its "unified" communications strategy. For example, users can launch a VOIP call by clicking on a person's name in Microsoft's Outlook e-mail program or its SharePoint Server 2007, a portal and collaboration tool, the company said. The embedded "presence" technology can determine whether a person is busy or not. Other options include Web-based audio and video conferences. Enterprises are adopting VOIP to reduce their phone bills, although concerns remain over deployment, reliability, and voice quality. Microsoft said companies won't have to rip out their existing PBX (private branch exchange) phone networks. Communications Server 2007 interoperates with PBX networks through SIP (session initiation protocol) -- the protocol used for VOIP calls -- and works with different phones, devices, and management tools, Microsoft said.

(InfoWorld) - As part of its ongoing bid to target telecommunications providers, Oracle took the wraps off Virtual PBX, an important new piece of its planned service delivery platform (SDP). Generally available Monday, Virtual PBX (public branch exchange) is one of the deliverables Oracle committed to back in April when the database, applications and middleware vendor firstÂ laid out its SDP plans. Those in the telecommunications industry are coming under increasing pressure to rapidly adapt their businesses to mirror the ongoing convergence of data, voice, and video services. To cope with the speed of change, carriers, network operators and systems integrators are moving their IT operations to a SOA (service-oriented architecture) approach. Oracle's SDP aims to offer telecommunications developers a single programming environment based on Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) so they can build new services quickly as well as integrate and manage those offerings with existing services. An operator-hosted PBX service for small, medium and larger enterprises, Virtual PBX includes functionality to enable the handling of incoming calls without requiring major changes to the telecom network's underlying architecture as well as the ability to offer specific bundles of telecom features to individual customers. Back in April, Oracle sketched out its SDP strategy, explaining that some pieces of the platform already exist like its Fusion middleware and its Oracle 10g relational database, while pledging to release others, including Virtual PBX, later in the year. As part of SDP, Oracle is expanding its middleware so that users can access newer mobile, voice services and enterprise applications through traditional communication networks and networks based on Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem also known as IMS and VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol). Oracle has yet to commit to an exact time for when SDP will be complete.
