BELMONT, Calif - February 3, 2009 - FaceTime
Communications, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in the Microsoft
Partner Program, today announced that its line of Unified Security
Gateway (USG) and IMAuditor products support the Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 Release 2 (R2) with enhanced compliance
and management capabilities.
FaceTime's IMAuditor and Unified Security Gateway products are
integrated with Office Communications Server 2007 R2 to provide
protection from in-bound malware, out-bound information leakage and
to insure corporate and regulatory compliance, and are extensible
to other communications modalities including Voice over IP and Web
conferencing in addition to instant messaging. New to FaceTime's
support of Office Communications Server 2007 R2, is the ability to
create ethical boundaries for audio conferencing, full security and
compliance for Group Chat, support for Access Edge Proxy and
associated logging and reporting enhancements.
FaceTime's highly scalable architecture for unified
communications, developed with support from Microsoft, insures that
even in the event of a server failure, policies are enforced and
communications continue to be archived for compliance and audit
purposes. This architecture protects organizations across
heterogeneous environment of public IM, Web 2.0 and unified
communications applications. Through FaceTime's continued support
of both Microsoft Office Live Communications Server and Office
Communications Server 2007 R2, enterprise organizations can be
assured of enhanced security and management and consistent policy
enforcement across multiple unified communications modalities.
"Unified communications presents new challenges in terms of
security, policy management and compliance, because the nature of
collaboration increases the ways that information can travel within
and outside the organization," said Frank Cabri, vice president of
marketing and product management for FaceTime Communications.
"Working closely with Microsoft, FaceTime provides a single
platform for enforcing security and compliance policies
consistently across instant messaging, conferencing and voice
communications on the Microsoft Office Communications Server
platform."
"The combination of Office Communications Server 2007 Release 2
and FaceTime's USG and IMAuditor provides a powerful new way for
people to collaborate and offers customers a rich and integrated
communications experience," said Eric Swift, senior director of the
Microsoft Unified Communications Group at Microsoft Corp. "FaceTime
is adding significant value to enterprise communications and
enabling businesses to better connect people, information and
business processes."
